2. Designed purpose of use

The AVANT Leveller is an attachment suitable for use with all AVANT multi purpose loaders, as shown in

Table 1. The Leveller is intended for spreading piles of soil. The attachment can also be used for moving light

weight materials at job site, such as sod rolls, tools etc. When using the attachment for levelling, the loader is

driven in reverse, so that the loader wheels do not interfere with newly cultivated soil.

The leveller must not be used for lifting operations. Never connect lifting accessories such as ropes, slings, or

chains to the leveller for the purpose of lifting of objects. The leveller is not intended for pushing, pulling, or

lifting of solid objects such as large rocks, tree stumps, or any other objects or materials that are not loose

typical soil materials that can be spread and levelled on the ground. The Leveller 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.

3. Safety instructions for using the attachment

Please bear in mind that safety is the result of several factors. The loader-attachment combination is highly

powerful and improper or careless use or maintenance may cause serious personal injury or property

damage. Due to this, all operators must carefully familiarise themselves about correct use and the operator's

manuals of both the loader and the attachment before starting operation. Do not use the attachment if you

have not completely familiarised yourself with its operation and the related hazards.

DANGER

Misuse, careless use, or using an attachment that is in poor condition, may

cause risk of serious injuries.

Familiarise yourself with the controls of the loader,

correct coupling procedure, and the corre

ct way to operate the attachment at a safe

area. Study especially how to stop the equipment in a safe manner. Read all safety

precautions carefully.

Read all safety instructions carefully before handling the attachment

WARNING

When attaching an attachment to the loader, ensure that the locking pins of the

loader's quick attach plate are in the lower position and that they have locked

the attachment to the loader. Never lift or move an unlocked attachment.

The Leveller is designed to be used by one ope

rator at a time. Do not let others near

the danger area of the equipment when it is in use.



Always transport the attachment as low as possible to keep the centre of gravity low,

and keep the telescopic boom retracted during driving.

Sudden movements can cause the loader to tip over - Operate the controls of

the loader in a slow and calm manner.

Be careful when lifting load to high level or

lifting load from high. Avoid sudden changes in speed or direction to maintain

balance of the loader especially when

handling heavy loads. Drive slowly and

carefully especially on inclined terrain or slippery surfaces.

Risk of tipping over - Keep loads close to ground while driving. Carrying heavy

loads can shift the centre of gravity of the loader and lead to tippin

g over of the

loader. For the best stability always transport loads as low and close to the loader as

possible, with the telescopic boom completely retracted, to keep the centre of gravity

low.

Risk of crushing - Never go or allow anyone else to go under the loader boom

or attachment. The stability of the loader may change when leaving the driver’s seat,

leading to tipping over of the machine. Always remember that the boom may lower

unexpectedly due to loss of stability, mechanical fault, or if another p

erson operates

the controls of the loader, leading to crushing hazard. The loader is not intended to

be left to keep a load elevated for longer periods. Lower the attachment firmly on the

ground before leaving the driver's seat and never allow anyone to be

under the boom

or attachment.

Keep the loader articulation in straight position when handling heavy loads. When

turning the articulation, the loader may tilt forward.

Observe maximum load indicated in the operator’s manual of the loader. Be

especial

ly careful when the load sensor indicator is activated, if your loader is fitted

with a load sensor system.

Make sure that the surface can bear the total load. Also follow the correct tyre

pressure settings.

8 (22)

Pay attention to the surroundings and any other persons and machines moving in the

vicinity. Pay attention to the contours of the terrain and other hazards, such as

branches and trees that can reach to the driver's area, loose rocks, and slippery

surfaces.

Make sure that overhead clearance is sufficient. Hitting an overhead obstacle may

cause the loader to tip over. Keep a safe distance from electric cables, lamps, or

other electric systems; hitting live parts may cause electric shock.

Never use the attachment to lift or to transport persons or as any kind of work

platform even temporarily.

Make sure to use only an attachment that is in good condition. Check the attachment

thoroughly in regular intervals. Do not modify the attachment in a manner that would

affect its safety. It is pro

hibited to drill holes on the attachment, and welding or other

means of fixing hooks or other objects on the attachment is strictly prohibited.

Shut down the loader and place the attachment to a safe position as shown in Safe

stopping procedure before any cleaning, maintenance, or adjustments.

Use the attachment only for its intended purpose. Other use may create unnecessary

safety risks, and the equipment may get damaged.

Make sure that the loader is equipped with necessary safety components, and that

they are in working condition. Seat belt must be used. If there are specific hazards

related to the operating area, use appropriate safety equipment.

Also read the safety instructions and correct use of the loader from the operator's

manual of the loader.

DANGER

Risk of crushing -

Going under the loader boom or an attachment can cause

serious injury or death.

Never go under the loader boom and prevent others from

getting near lifted boom or attachment. Going under a raised attachment o

r loader boom

is dangerous, as the boom may lower due to loss of stability, mechanical fault or when

other person operates the controls of the loader. Lower the attachment firmly on the

ground before leaving the driver’s seat.

WARNING

Risk of crushing -

Never allow anyone to get under a

lifted attachment or loader boom.

Keep in mind that the

loader boom can be lowered or tilted even if the engine has

been shut down (crushing hazard). The loader is not intended

to be left to keep a load elevated for l

onger periods. Always

lower the attachment to a safe position before leaving the

driver's seat.

WARNING

9 (22)

3.1 Personal protective equipment

Remember to wear proper protective clothing:

The noise level at the driver's seat may exceed 85 dB(A) depending on

loader

model and operating cycle. Extended exposure to loud noise can cause

hearing impairment. Wear hearing protection while working with the loader.

Wear protective gloves.

Wear safety boots whenever working with the loader.

. ..

3.2 Safe shutdown procedure

Safe stopping of the attachment, before going near the attachment:

WARNING

Always stop the attachment following safe stopping procedure before leaving

the driver's seat.

Safe stopping procedure prevents all unintentional movements of

the att

achment. Note that the loader boom can move down even if the engine of the

loader is turned off. Safe stopping procedure:

Lower the boom and the attachment on the ground.

Shut down the loader engine and lock the parking brake.

Release residual pressure fro

m the hydraulic system; move all hydraulic control
