2. Designed purpose of use
The AVANT Rotary Broom is an attachment suitable for use with AVANT multi purpose loaders shown in
Table 1. The strong broom serves well also in professional use and are intended for removing dirt, sand,
sanding gravel or other small trash from larger yards, streets, or other even and hard surfaces. The powerful
rotary broom is an excellent choice for various sweeping tasks around the year and is well suited also for
snow removal.
When using the broom, only its bristles are in contact with the ground, and together with advanced floating
system, the broom will follow the surface very effectively. Visibility to the broom is excellent and the floating
system requires minimal attention from the operator during use, in addition to being rigid and silent. The
broom can be turned to either side by 25 degrees, to sweep material aside. On broom models 1500 and 2000,
the slewing system is electric as standard. On broom 1100 the slewing is manual, and the electric slewing is
available as an option. The broom is operated directly by a hydraulic motor. When the broom is set for
storage, its outriggers should be extended to prevent overturning of the broom and to protect the bristles from
getting bent. The broom is intended for outdoor use only and can be used only from the driver’s seat of the
loader, so that the broom is firmly on the ground supported by its own bristles.
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 catalog 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.
