 Avanté User Manual

Note: After the handles have been completely installed and plugged in, test them by turning the HQ

18

 Avanté on/

off switch to “on”. If nothing is displayed, check that the handlebar cable on the side of the machine is plugged 

in securely, that your machine is turned on, and that the power cord is plugged into the machine as well as a 

power source.

Caution:  Unplug the HQ

18

 Avanté from the electrical 

outlet.  All power to the machine must be turned off 

when installing the front handles. Failure to do so 

can result in damage to the machine. 

Locate the three long bolts and the 5mm Hex 

wrench. To install the handlebar,line up the holes on 

top of the handles with the pre-drilled holes on top 

of the machine.  Slide a single bolt into one of the 

holes until it stops. Hand-tighten the bolt enough to 

secure the handles to the top of the machine.  Insert 

and hand-tighten the remaining two handlebar bolts.  

Use the included 5 mm Hex wrench to securely fas-

ten the handles to the front of the machine.

Once the bolts are in place, plug the 9-pin connector 

into the serial port located on the left-hand side of 

the machine (see Figure 2, #18, page 6).  Ensure the 

pins are lined up so they are not damaged when the 

plug is pushed in.  Push the plug securely in place.

Installing Front Handlebars

Check that the HQ

18

 Avanté is unplugged from the 

electrical outlet.  All power to the machine must 

be turned off when installing the back handlebar. 

Failure to do so can result in damage to the machine.

The rear handle bar comes mounted with three 

screws to the “L” bracket.  Line up the two holes 

in the “L” bracket with those on the rear of the 

machine. Slide the short bolts into holes until they 

stop.  Hand tighten, and then use the 5mm wrench 

to securely fasten the handles to the back of the 

machine.

Once the two bolts are in place, plug the 9-pin 

connector into the serial port underneath the rear 

handles. Ensure the pins are lined up so they are not 

damaged when the plug is pushed in.  Push the plug 

securely in place.

Installing Rear Handlebars

Insert the cord into top power connector on the rear 

of the machine. Plug the three-prong end into a 

power source (see Figure 6).

The lower power connector is for powering other 

attachments developed by Handi Quilter. (Not yet 

available)
