2. Designed purpose of use

The AVANT Snow blower 1150/1500 is an attachment that is suitable for use with AVANT multi purpose 

loaders which are shown in Table 1. The Snow blower is especially suitable for use when it is preferred to 

spread snow evenly to the sides of the area instead of piling it up. The two-phase snow blower is suitable also 

for professional use, and it is equipped with a powerful hydraulic system with two separate hydraulic motors 

for efficient operation even when handling wet and heavy snow. 
As standard, the snow blower chute can be turned electrically by 260 degrees directly from the driver’s seat. 

The wide adjustment range of the manual throwing height control makes it possible to control the ejection of 

snow precisely as needed, either as to pile snow directly to the side of the drive path, or to spread evenly far 

away. As an option, electric throwing height adjustment is also available, which can be operated only with the 

optional electric attachment control switch pack of the loaders. 
The Snow blower 1150/1500 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.
