5. Assembling 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 t
he locking system from the relevant
manuals.

Make sure that the hydraulic hoses are positioned so that they will not get in
between the coupling plate of the loader and the attachment, and that they will
not get squeezed or chafed against sharp edges.
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 s
o that 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.

17 (66)
WARNING
Risk of falling objects -
Prevent dropping of
attachment.
An attachment that has not been complet
ely 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 the lower position and
come through the fasteners on the attachment on
both sides.
WARNING
Risk of crushing - Avoid tipping over the attachment.
Excessive tilting or lifting of an
unlocked attachment increa
ses 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.
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 locked on or if the system is
pressurized. Connecting or disconnecting the hydraulic couplings while th
e 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
leave 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 not connect
if the attachment connector is upside down.
2. Connect and lock the multiconnector by turning
the lever towards
the loader.

18 (66)
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.
Conventional quick couplings
(alternative couplings for some loader models):
Before connecting or disconnecting the standard quick couplings, the
residual pr
essure must be released as shown below. The conventional
quick couplings will not connect, if there is pressure in the hydraulic
system.
To connect and disconnect the standard couplings, move the collar at the end of the female fitting. The hoses
should be connected so that the fitting equipped with a coloured cap is connected to the corresponding fitting
of the loader. Note that the protective caps on the loader and the attachment can be fastened to each other
during operation to reduce the accumulation of dirt. When disconnecting the standard quick couplings a small
amount of oil may drip from the couplings. Wear protective gloves and have some cloth at hand to keep the
equipment clean.
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 coup
ling plate, to prevent hose damage and any oil spills. Reinstall
the protective caps on the fittings to prevent impurities from entering the hydraulic
system.
