Handling of heav loads and load sensor
The loader is equipped with a load sensor system. It
gives an audible warning signal and at the same time
an indicator lights in the dashboard when there is a risk
that the machine tips over its front axle. When the
system gives a warning signal the load that is being lifted
is too heavy in relation with the lift capacity of the
loader. In this case one has to either put more counterweights
on the loader or relieve the load that is being lifted.
When the load sensor starts to warn, there is
a risk that the machine tips over its front axle.
In this case stop lifting of the boom, retract
the telescopic boom and lower down the boom
slowly. When the load sensor is warning do
not steer the machine before the boom is
lowered down close to ground level. Lift the
boom only when the loader chassis is straight.
Keep the load as close to ground as possible.
Never take a heavy load on the loader from
high level  e.g. from truck, shelf etc.  risk
of tipping over!
Always put the load down on the ground before
leaving the machine. When loading, always
keep the loader chassis as straight as possible.
Personal safet and protective equipment
Wear safe clothing and personal protective equipment
(PPE). Protect yourself against work hazards like noise,
ejecting debris or dust for example.
 Noise level at drivers seat can exceed
85 dB(A). Wear hearing protection
when working with the loader.
 It is recommended to wear safety
footwear when working with the loader.
 Wear protective gloves when handling
hydraulic hoses.
 Follow regulations regarding
protective equipment. Wear eye
protection and hard hat or other
protective equipment as needed.
Read Operators Manual of the attachment for more information
about protective equipment needed in the work.
Safet frame (ROPS) and safet canop (FOPS)
Safety frame (ROPS) protects the operator
in case the machine tips over. Always fasten
the seat belt in order to stay inside the safety
frame protective area. Never take off the
safety frame.
When working in conditions where falling objects may
be a risk (on building sites etc.), the loader must be
equipped with a falling objects protective canopy
(FOPS), part no. A 8905.
Electric s stem
Lead acid batteries can produce flammable and
explosive gases. Make sure that the ventilation is
sufficient and keep arcs, sparks, flames and lighted
tobacco away from battery.
Battery acid causes severe burns. In case of acid
contact, wash immediately with water for several
minutes and get medical attention in case of eye
contact.

AVANT 745/750 load diagram
The diagrams can be interpreted as follows:
 The diagrams show tipping load and max. load with
the load at different distances
from the front axle of the loader
 Example: If the center of gravity of the load is
750 mm in front of the front axle, max. load is about
1250 kg with a driver weighing 75 kg and with the
170 kg integrated rear weight mounted on the loader.
NOTICE: If the driver leaves the machine, tipping
and max. loads are reduced respectively.
 Tipping load and max. load depend both on the
weight of the driver and the eventual extra weights
mounted on the loader.
 Please note that the diagrams are based on the
machine operating on a level, even and firm
supporting ground. Loads should be significantly
reduced when operating on gradients and/or on soft
ground.
 The loader is equipped with a load sensor system,
which gives an audible warning signal and an indicator
lights up in the dashboard when tipping load is being
approached.
 Read the safety instructions regarding handling of
heavier loads. Calibration instructions of the load
sensor system can be found on page 30.

Suspension seat can be equipped with a seat belt.
Seat heater
The suspension seat is
equipped with an electric seat
heater. Seat heater switch
(15) and indicator are
located on the dashboard.
Location of batter disconnect switch
The loader is equipped with
a battery disconnect switch.
The switch is located in the
rear of the machine, on the
right side (see picture).
Battery disconnect switch
cuts the current between
battery and the rest of the electric system. Always
switch off main current when the loader is not used
for a longer period of time, or when servicing the
machine. Switch off the main current in order that
the battery doesnt get empty.
Boom self levelling (option)
Self levelling system keeps the
position of the attachment
the same in relation to the
ground, regardless of the
position of the boom.
Self levelling is hydraulic: there
is a levelling cylinder on the
left side of the boom which
follows the movements of the
bucket tilt cylinder and keeps
the attachment level.
Self levelling is disabled when
the boom floating is switched
on.
Boom floating (option)
The floating system releases the lift cylinder, so that
the boom floats upwards from the position where it
is when boom floating is switched on, allowing the
attachment to follow the contours of the terrain.
1. Lower the boom down
2. Switch on the floating with
rocker switch no.
3. Boom floating indicator on
the dashboard
lights up
When boom floating is being
used, it is possible that air gets
in the hydraulic system. This can lead to inaccurate
boom movements and the boom can give in. Therefore
the boom and attachment coupling plate should always
be moved to extreme end positions after switching
off boom floating. Use boom floating only when
necessary.
Telescopic boom (option)
Telescopic boom is operated with the control lever
no. 8 on the control panel (see page 15).
Length of the telescope is 600 mm and additional
lifting height is 85 mm.

as an option, with a joystick,
where the operation of
auxiliary hydraulics and
telescopic boom is electric.
1. Auxiliar h draulics
 push the buttons to engage
and disengage auxiliary
hydraulics. The red
switch directs hydraulic
flow to the pressure 1
coupler.
2. Telescopic boom
 with the rocker switch the
telescopic boom can be
operated steplessly
(extension- retraction).
Speed of the telescoping
function depends on the
position of the pump
selection lever.
Engine block heater (option)
The loader can be equipped, as an option, with an
engine block heater. Engine
block heater outlet is on the
right side in the rear of the
machine.
Use the block
heater max. 30
minutes at a time.
Trailer coupling (option)
The loader can be equipped,
as an option, with a trailer
coupling. It is equipped with
a 50 mm ball coupling and
mounts either directly on the
rear bumper or on the extra
back weight.
Max. allowed vertical load of the trailer coupling is
6900 N, max. towing load is 6000 N.
Make sure that the weight on the trailer is
distributed correctly so that the trailer cannot
cause an upward lifting force on the trailer
coupling
Extra weights (option)
The loader can be equipped with extra counterweights
that are mounted on the rear bumper. Max. amount
of extra weights (31 kg/pcs) is pcs. If the machine
is fitted with an extra weight with trailer coupling,
max. amount of extra weights is 2 pcs. Loader can be
equipped with side weights 180 kg (A 9063).
Drive circuit release switch (option)
The switch no. 16, LOCK,
controls a valve, which is used
to divert the oil flow between
left and right side hydraulic
motors, and this affects the
pulling force.
LOCK OFF: In this mode, the hydraulic oil flows in
series from motor to motor. The wheels will roll more
freely and the loader leaves less tire marks on soft
surfaces.
LOCK ON: In this mode the hydraulic oil flows in
parallel between the hydraulic motors in each side,
similar to a differential lock in operation. This improves
the towing capability of the loader.
If the loader is not equipped with a drive circuit release
valve, the system will function as in lock on mode.
Anti slip valve (option)
AVANT 745: The valve positively diverts oil flow
between right and left side hydraulic motors and
improves traction on slippery and uneven surfaces.
The function of the anti slip valve is connected to the
drive circuit release switch:
LOCK ON: Anti slip valve in operation. Best traction
is achieved by using sufficient engine revs and by
pressing properly on the drive pedal.
LOCK OFF: Drive circuit
released  anti slip valve
diverts the oil flow between
the front hydraulic motors
only, not the rear hydraulic
motors.
AVANT 750: Anti slip valve
is engaged by pressing on the
switch on the joystick.
Work light kit (option)
The loader can be equipped with extra work lights,
making it easier to work in low light. The lights are
operated with the switch on the control panel (see
page 1 ).

Tilt adapter (option)
The hydraulic tilt adapter
mounts between the
attachment and the
attachment coupling plate. It
allows the driver to tilt the
attachment sideways 12,5
degrees to both directions
from the drivers seat. Tilt
adapter is intended mainly for
non-hydraulic attachments,
but with the optional double acting extra auxiliary
hydraulics outlet in the front (A35 92) it is possible
to mount a hydraulically operated attachment (e.g. a
in 1 bucket) at the same time. Tilt adapter is operated
with the auxiliary hydraulics control lever (no. 7, page
15).
Extra auxiliar h draulics outlets, front
and rear (option)
In addition to the standard auxiliary hydraulics outlet,
the loader can be equipped with a double acting extra
outlet. The extra hydraulic outlet can be fitted either
to the front of the loader or to the rear, and the
couplers are conventional type quick couplers. The
installed extra outlet is selected with the rocker switch
on the dashboard (see page 13) and controlled with
the auxiliary hydraulics control lever no. 7 (see page
15).
The loader can be equipped with either the rear
hydraulics outlet or with the extra front outlet  but
not with both.

Drive speed range selection switch (750)
AVANT 750 is equipped with two
speed drive motors. Drive speed
range can be selected with the switch
no. 13 on the control panel right (see
page 10). With lower speed range
(switch in "turtle" position) drive speed
is 0-12 km/h, with higher speed range
(switch in "rabbit" position) drive
speed is 0-25 km/h with 29 tyres and
0-22 km/h with 26 tyres.
When driving backward at higher speed range the
pulling force is about 50 % of the pulling force forward.
At lower speed pulling force forward and backward
is the same.
Pulling force at lower speed is twice the pulling force
at higher speed. Higher speed range is intended for
longer travels where pulling force is not necessary.
ATTENTION! Do not change the drive speed range
while driving with a higher speed. Always stop the
machine first or slow down the speed before switching
on higher or lower speed. Be careful when driving at
higher speed range. Do not turn the machine with a
high travel speed.
Parking brake switch (750)
AVANT 750 is equipped with a
hydraulic parking brake. It locks the
front wheels. Parking brake is operated
with the switch no. 1 on the control
panel right (see page 10). The switch
has two indicator lights: green indicator
is on when parking brake is released,
red indicator is on when parking brake
is engaged.
Parking brake engages automatically when the engine
is stopped. The brake can be released only when the
engine is running and there is hydraulic pressure in
the system.
ATTENTION! Never engage the parking brake when
the machine is moving. If the parking brake is engaged
when the machine is moving the brake plates in the
front drive motors will be damaged. Always stop the
machine before engaging the brake.
