2. Designed purpose of use
The AVANT Telescopic jib boom is an attachment is intended to be used with AVANT multi purpose loaders
that are listed in Table 1. The attachment is especially useful when moving objects that are not meant to be
lifted with pallet forks. The attachment is intended for moving and lifting of loads with the loader, and it offers
good visibility to the load. The stepless telescopic extension of the jib boom makes it possible to reach places
that would be otherwise hard to reach.
The Safe working load of the Telescopic Jib boom is 800 kg. The boom is not intended to handle loads that
are heavier than this. However, the actual operating capacity of the telescopic jib boom depends on the loader
model, and various environmental factors, as shown in this manual. Refer to the operator's manual of your
loader for information about the lift capacity of your loader. In this manual are load charts that apply for
loaders that are manufactured in 2018 or later.
The telescopic boom of the jib boom works as an additional extension to the boom of the loader. It offers
greater reach and lifting height. The jib boom is equipped with a rotating lifting hook and durable wear pads
installed between the inner and the outer part of the boom. With the hydraulic extension the load can be
moved accurately. The highest lifting reach is at 4,7 meters, when using with the telescopic boom of a 700
series loader.
The Telescopic jib boom 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 proce
dure, and the correct 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 Telescopic jib boom is
designed to be used by one operator 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.
Risk of dropping of load - Never exceed the Safe Working Load of the
attachment. The Safe Working Load of the Telescopic Jib boom itself is 800 kg.
Never exceed this load. The maximum load that can be lifted with a loader, the Rated
Operating Capacity, depends on several factors, such as the following:
the loader model
position and extension of the loader boom
extension of the telescopic jib boom
position of the articulated loader frame
counterweights on the loader
movements of the loader, its boom, and load
smoothness of the ground surface and any inclination
Always follow the operator's manual of the loader to determine the Rated Operated
Capacity of each loader model. See more information on page 22.
Keep the loader articulation in straight position when handling heavy loads. When
turning the articulation, the loader may tilt forward.
For the best stability of the loader, keep the telescopic booms of the loader and the
jib boom fully retracted when handling loads. Ke
ep the loader articulation in straight
position when handling heavy loads. When turning the articulation, the loader may tilt
forward.
Use only type approved lifting accessories, such as chains or straps, that are suitable
for lifting work.

8 (34)
WARNING
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 tipping over of the
loader. For the best stability always transport loada as low and close to the loader as
poss
ible, with the telescopic boom completely retracted, to keep the centre of gravity
low.
Observe maximum load indicated in the operator’s manual of the loader. Be
especially careful when the load sensor indicator is activated, if your loader is fitted
with a load sensor system.
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 person 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 attach
ment firmly on the
ground before leaving the driver's seat and never allow anyone to be under the boom
or attachment.
Make sure that the surface can bear the total load. Also follow the correct tyre
pressure settings.
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 he
avy loads. Drive slowly and
carefully especially on inclined terrain or slippery surfaces.
Drive carefully with lifted load as the swinging of the load may affect the stability of
the loader. Keep others away from under the boom or the area where the sw
inging of
the load creates an impact or crushing hazard.
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 rea
ch 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 reg
ular intervals. Do not modify the attachment in a manner that would
affect its safety. It is prohibited 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.

5. Attaching the attachment
Attaching the attachment to the loader is quick and easy, but it must be done carefully. The attachment is
mounted to the loader boom by using the quick attach plate on the loader boom and the counterpart on the
attachment.
If the attachment is not locked to the loader, it may detach from the loader and cause a hazardous situation.
The loader must not be driven and the boom must never be lifted when the attachment has not been locked.
To prevent hazardous situations, always follow the coupling procedure shown below. Also remember the
safety instructions shown in this manual. The attachment is mounted to the loader as follows:
WARNING
Crushing risk - Make sure that an unlocked attachment will not move or fall over.
Do not stay in the area between the attachment and the loader. Mount
the attachment
only on level surface.
Never move or lift an attachment that has not been locked.
Avant quick coupling system:
Step 1:

Lift the quick attach plate locking pins up and turn them backwards into the slot
so that they are locked in the upper position.

If your loader is equipped with a hydraulic attachment locking system, see
additional instructions about the use of the locking system from the relevant
manuals.
Ensure that the hydraulic hoses are not in the way during installation.
Step 2:
Turn the quick attach plate hydraulically to an obliquely forward position.

Drive the loader onto the attachment. If your loader is equipped with a
telescopic boom, you can utilise this.
Align the upper pins of the loader’s quick coupling plate so th
at they are under
the corresponding brackets of the attachment.
Step 3:
Lift the boom slightly –
pull the boom control lever backward to raise the
attachment off the ground.
Turn the boom control lever left to turn the bottom section of the quick attach
plate onto the attachment.
Lock the locking pins manually or lock the hydraulic locking.
Always check the locking of both locking pins.

WARNING
Risk of crushing - Avoid tipping over the attachment.
Excessive tilting or lifting of an
unlocked att
achment increases the risk of tipping the attachment over. Do not use the
automatic locking of the locking pins when the attachment is lifted more than one meter
from the ground. If the locking pins do not return to the normal position when tilting, do
not
tilt or raise the attachment any more. Lower the attachment on the ground and
secure the locking manually.
WARNING
Risk of falling objects -
Prevent dropping of
attachment.
An attachment that has not been completely locked to the
loader may fall on
the boom or towards the operator, or
fall under the loader during driving, causing loss of
control of the loader. Never move or lift an attachment
that has not been locked. Before moving or lifting the
attachment, make sure that the locking pins are in th
e
lower position and come through the fasteners on the
attachment on both sides.
WARNING
Make sure the loader is compatible with the attachment.
Stability of the loader,
possible overload of the attachment, and compatibility of loader contr
ol systems must be
ensured in addition to mechanical compatibility of the attachment. If you use the
attachment with a loader that is not fit to be used with the attachment model you have,
risks include tipping over, damage to attachment due to overload, a
nd risks related to
uncontrolled motion of attachment and its parts. If your loader is not listed in Table 1 on
page 6, ask your Avant dealer before using this attachment.

15 (34)
5.1 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 lo
cked 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
le
ave the hoses hanging on the ground; place the couplings onto the holder on the
attachment.
Connecting the multiconnector system:
1.
Align the pins of the attachment connector with corresponding
holes of the loader connector. The multiconnector will no
t connect
if the attachment connector is upside down.
2.
Connect and lock the multiconnector 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 multiconnector 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 multiconnector on its holder on the
attachment.

16 (34)
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.
Releasing residual hydraulic pressure:
In case residual pressure is left in the hydraulic system of the attachment, it is often possible to disconnect the
hydraulic couplings, but it may be difficult to connect them the next time. If the fittings will not connect, the
residual pressure must be released by turning the auxiliary hydraulics control lever of the loader, when the
engine is turned off. To make sure that there will not be residual pressure in the hydraulic system of the
attachment, shut down the loader engine and move the auxiliary hydraulics control lever of the loader back
and forth before disconnecting the couplings.

17 (34)
6. Operating the attachment
Check the attachment and the operating environment once more before starting to work, and that all obstacles
have been removed from the operating area. Quick inspection of the equipment and the operating area before
use are parts of ensuring safety and the best performance of the equipment.
WARNING
Risk of tipping over - Avoid overload.
Loader can tip over
when handling too heavy loads, or because of dynamic
movements caused by driving with an
d handling of a heavy
load. Do not extend the telescopic boom when the load
approaches the lifting capacity of the loader, or when the
loader boom is in horizontal position. When you notice that
the rear wheels of the loader are about to lift from the ground,
or if the load indicator of the loader (if fitted) signals:
Lower the load calmly and retract the telescopic boom
Avoid sudden changes in speed or direction whenever load is lifted
Use additional counterweights as needed
. ..
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 ele
vated for longer periods. Always
lower the attachment to a safe position before leaving the
driver's seat.
. ..
WARNING
Risk of falling from height and crushing under bucket or
loader -
Never use a bucket as a lifting platform or to
carry people.
Never use the loader or its attachments to lift
persons or as any kind of work platform even temporarily.
Never climb on the attachment.
Always lower the bucket on the ground before leaving the
driver's seat. The loader is not intended to hold loads lifted for
longer periods of time.
. ..

18 (34)
6.1 Checks before use
Use only when all pins are locked and secured in place.
Check the general condition of the attachment and the loader.
Check that the lifting hook is intact and that its safety latch is in good condition. Do not use damaged
equipment.
Check the slide pads of the telescopic jib boom by manually pushing a fully extended boom from its
tip. The slide pads must be adjusted or replaced if there is noticeable play between the inner boom
and te slide pads. Service the attachment if the inner boom can be moved manually sideways, or up
and down.
Use only lifting equipment that are type approved for lifting and strong enough for the task. The lifting
rope should have a rated capacity of at least twice the load. Normal load securing straps are usually
not approved for lifting work.
Do not tie the lifting ropes. Use suitable hooks or links.
Plan the lifting work ahead, avoid hanging the load unnecessarily.
Ensure that the ground surface is level and solid enough for safe lifting.
Drive carefully on uneven terrain and note the effect of heavy load at the front of the loader to the
stability and handling of the loader.
Ensure that bystanders are at a safe distance when operating the equipment. Do not let anyone to
enter danger area of the boom or to stay directly in front of the loader. Also make sure that it is safe to
reverse with the loader. Never assume that bystanders will remain where you last saw them;
especially children are often attracted to the moving equipment.
Operate the attachment and the controls of the loader only when seated on the driver’s seat. Ensure
that the loader and the attachment are used in a safe manner and as intended. Do not allow children
to operate the equipment.
Never operate the loader or attachments while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication that
may impair judgement or cause drowsiness, or if not otherwise medically fit to operate the equipment.
Remember correct working methods and avoid leaving the driver's seat unnecessarily. Practise the
use of the attachment and the controls of the loader in a safe area. If you are unfamiliar with the
particular loader model, it is recommended to practise its use without any attachments.

19 (34)
.
6.2 Operation
The Safe Working Load limit for the attachment is 800 kg. Never handle loads that are heavier than 800 kg.
The jib boom can get damaged as a result, and the load may fall.
The maximum load that can be safely lifted with a loader depends on the load handling capacity of the loader.
See Rated operating capacity on page 22 in this manual, and the operator's manual of the loader for more
information.
6.2.1 Transporting objects
When using the Telescopic Jib boom for transporting objects, make sure that the load is well balanced and
that it will not move when lifting the load from its lifting point. All loads must be transported calmly with smooth
movements, and as low and close to the loader as possible, as shown in the figure below. For the best
stability of the loader, keep the telescopic boom of the loader and the jib boom fully retracted, and extend only
when necessary.
Swinging of the load must be avoided. Use type approved load securing chains or straps as necessary.
. ..
If the loader is not equipped with the boom self levelling:
WARNING
WARNING
Prevent material from falling on you - Monitor the position of the attachment during
lifting. When lifting material, the attachment must be simultaneously tilted to prevent the
load from falling from the attachment on the loader or the operator. Fitting the loader with
the boom self levelling option makes repeated loading work easier.
Risk of tipping over - Avoid overload and keep heavy load close to the loader. Keep
loads close to the ground whenever driving, especially during turns and uneven
terrain. Pay attention that a heavy load or long distance between the loader and the
centre of gravity of the load will affect the balance and handling of the loader. The use of
additional counterweights is recommended especially when operating smaller
loader models. With heavy loads, the telescopic boom must be kept retracted while
moving with the loader. Always wear seat belt.

20 (34)
DANGER
Risk of tipping over - Do not drag heavy loads from e.g. shelf.
Do not reverse with
the loader while simultaneously dragging load. Make sure that the loader can handle the
load being lifted. When lifting load from a high level, the loader could tip forward when
reversing with the loader.
. ..
6.2.2 Using the telescopic boom
The telescopic boom can be extended to reach loads that are further away from the loader. Use the extension
only when necessary to ensure the best stability of the loader.
For the best stability and visibility to the hook of the boom, extend the Telescopic Jib boom first. After the
Telescopic jib boom is fully extended, use the telescopic boom of the loader as necessary. Always keep the
load as close to the ground as possible.
