2. Designed purpose of use
The AVANT Drum type concrete mixer is an attachment suitable for use with AVANT multi purpose loaders
shown in Table 1. The concrete mixer is an essential attachment for mixing and transporting concrete, mortar,
plaster or similar material even at difficult locations. Pouring concrete to desired location is possible by simply
tilting the drum with the loader boom. The drum type concrete mixer is an ideal attachment for concrete mixing
at locations where there is no electricity available. When larger volume of concrete is needed, the Avant
concrete mixing bucket is recommended.
Operating a rotating concrete mixer includes inherent hazards that can be fully avoided only by using the
equipment carefully and in correct way. Filling the mixer and transporting or lifting a filled mixer are tasks that
require special attention. The attachment is intended for operators who have learned the safe operation of the
loader and the attachment, and are able to notice the risks arising from using the equipment and conditions of
operating area. The attachment is set to correct height and angle while sitting in the driver’s seat of the loader,
and it is also started from the driver’s seat. Driving speed must be adjusted according to operating and terrain
conditions. Unintended moving of the loader must be prevented using suitable blocks as needed in addition to
the parking brake of the loader.
The Drum type concrete mixer is not designed for any other use than what is specified in this manual and
must not be used for any other purposes than intended.
The attachment has been designed to require as little maintenance as possible. The operator can perform
regular maintenance tasks. All repair work can’t be performed by the operator, and demanding repair and
maintenance operations are to be left for professional maintenance. All maintenance work must be done using
proper safety equipment. Spare parts must be identical with original specifications, which can be ensured by
using only original spare parts. A separate spare parts catalogue may be available, consult your Avant dealer.
Familiarise yourself with the manual's instructions regarding service and maintenance. Please contact your
AVANT retailer if you have additional questions about the operation or maintenance of the equipment, or if
you require spare parts or maintenance services.
