Connecting and disconnecting hydraulic hoses 

On Avant loaders the hydraulic hoses are connected using the multi connector system. If you have an Avant 

300-700 series loader with the conventional quick couplers and wish to change to the multi connector system,

contact your Avant dealer or service point for instructions or installation services.

WARNING

 

Risk of movement of the attachment and ejection of hydraulic oil - Never connect 
or disconnect quick couplings or other hydraulic components while the control 
lever of the auxiliary hydraulics control lever is locked on or if the system is 
pressurized.

  Connecting or disconnecting the hydraulic couplings while the system is 

pressurized may lead to unintended movements of the attachment, or ejection of high-
pressure fluid, which can cause serious injuries or burns. Follow safe stopping procedure 
before disconnecting hydraulics. 

Keep all fittings as clean as possible; use the protective caps on both the attachment and 
the loader. Dirt, ice, etc. may make using the fittings significantly more difficult. Never 
leave the hoses hanging on the ground; place the couplings onto the holder on the 
attachment. 

Connecting the multi connector system: 

1.

Align the pins of the attachment connector with corresponding

holes of the loader connector. The multi connector will not

connect if the attachment connector is upside down.

2.

Connect and lock the multi connector by turning the lever towards

the loader.

The lever should move easily all the way to its locking position. If the lever does not slide smoothly, check the 

alignment and position of the connector and clean the connectors. Also shut down the loader and release the 

residual hydraulic pressure. 

To disconnect the multi connector system: 

Before disconnecting put the attachment down on a solid and even 

surface. 

1.

Switch off the auxiliary hydraulics of the loader.

2.

While pushing unlock button, turn the lever to disconnect the

connector.

3.

After ending operation put the multi connector on its holder on the

attachment.

Disconnecting hydraulic hoses: 

Before disconnecting the fittings, lower the attachment to safe position on solid and level surface. Turn the 

control lever of the auxiliary hydraulics to its neutral position. 

When uncoupling the attachment, always disconnect the hydraulic couplings before 

unlocking the quick attach plate, to prevent hose damage and any oil spills. Reinstall the 

protective caps on the fittings to prevent impurities from entering the hydraulic system.
