Transporting instructions and tie down points
Mount the articulation frame lock, shown on page 26,
on the machine during transports. Lower the boom
down and take off battery disconnect switch.
Remember to remove the frame lock after transport!
Tie down points are located on the rear frame on the
sides, and on the front frame close to the boom.
If absolutely necessary, the loader can be towed with
a rigid tow bar, by releasing the hydraulic drive circuit.
Max. allowed towing speed is 3 km/h, towing distance
max. 200 m.
When the drive circuit is released for towing,
the loader has no brakes. Before releasing
the drive circuit make sure that the parking
brake has been engaged, and release the
parking brake only after a rigid tow bar has
been connected.
The hydraulic drive circuit is released by turning the
screw on the right side of the variable displacement
drive pump about 3 rounds counterclockwise. Make
sure to put the drive circuit again in working order by
retightening the screw immediately after towing.
Contact Avant service for instructions if necessary.
The loader can be lifted by mounting appropriate
lifting slings on the ROPS frame. Before lifting, the
attachment and eventual extra weights must be
removed. Mount the frame lock on the machine. Make
sure that the lifting slings cannot move and that the
machine doesnt swing during lifting.
AVANT R35 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 820 kg with a driver weighing 75 kg.
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.
 Read the safety instructions regarding handling
of heavier loads.

additional lifting height is
85 mm.
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.
Extra counterweights (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,

Operating instructions
Jo stick (option)
The loader can be equipped, 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.
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
Drive release valve (option)
The switch no. 15, 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 release valve
the system will function as in lock on mode.
Anti slip valve (option)
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.
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 ).
Headlight, beacon, blinker & reflector kit
(option)
This optional equipment
enables road traffic registration
in certain countries.
Requirements vary in different
countries, please consult your
local AVANT distributor.

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 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 controlled with the lever no.
9 (see page 15).
The loader can be equipped with either the rear
hydraulics outlet or with the extra front outlet  but
not with both.
1. Extra auxiliary hydraulics
in the front
 Quick couplers are
located under the multi
connector
2. Quick couplers in the rear
 Quick couplers are
located on top of the
radiator.

Starting the engine
Before starting the engine do the daily checks, see page 27. Adjust the seat and mirrors (if fitted) so that you
have a good working position and unrestricted field of vision from the drivers seat. Check that all controls
function correctly. See to it that the operating area is safe. Read and follow operating and safety instructions.
1. Turn the battery disconnect switch to ON
2. Move the hand throttle lever to approximately ¼ throttle
3. Make sure that auxiliary hydraulics is switched off (lever in
neutral position). Do not press on the drive pedals.
. Turn the ignition key to the right to glowing position
until the yellow glow plug indicator lights up, keep the
ignition key in this position until the glow plug indicator goes
out
5. Turn the ignition key further to the right until the engine
starts.
If the engine doesnt start, do not try to start longer than 10
seconds at a time. Make sure that there is diesel in the tank,
wait a little and try to start again.
