2. Designed purpose of use
The AVANT Generator is an attachment that is suitable for use with AVANT compact loaders that are shown
in Table 1. The Generator is used by means of the auxiliary hydraulics oil flow of the loader, making it possible
to create an electric current supply with Avant loader.
The Generator is equipped with one 400V outlet and two 230V outlets. Attachment can be used as a power
source for power tools and electrical equipment in places where mains current is not available. The Generator
also guarantees electric power supply during power outages, for example.
The Generator is not designed for any other use than what is specified in this manual and must not be used
for any other purposes than what is intended for.
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 technicians. 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 dealer 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 snow blower
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 t
he loader,
correct coupling procedure, 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.

This attachment 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 crushing under the attachment or the loader boom - Lower the
attachment firmly on the ground before leaving the driver’s seat.
Make sure that
the attachment is properly supported during any maintenance or inspecti
ons. Do not
leave the driver’s seat when the loader boom is lifted. Going under a raised
attachment or loader boom is dangerous, as the boom may lower due to loss of
stability, mechanical fault, or if another person operates the controls of the loader.
Risk of electric shock - Uncontrolled discharge of residual electric charge can
cause serious injuries.
Wait at least 30 minutes until the charge of the electric parts
has been completely discharged before removing any covers.
Burn hazard - Keep clear of hot surfaces. Running generator will get hot quickly
and touching hot surfaces of the unit can cause burns. Keep clear of hot surfaces.
Wear personal protective equipment, if necessary.
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 reach to the driver's area, loose rocks, and slippery
surfaces.
Ensure that ventilation is sufficient when operating indoors. Do not operate the loader
in closed spaces regardless of the engine or fuel type. Exhaust gases may
concentrate to hazardous levels.
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 regular 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.

WARNING
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.

DANGER
Risk of crushing - Going under the loade
r boom or an attachment can cause
serious injury or death.
Never go under the loader boom and prevent others from
getting near lifted boom or attachment. Going under a raised attachment or loader boom
is dangerous, as the boom may lower due to loss of stab
ility, mechanical fault or when
other person operates the controls of the loader. Lower the attachment firmly on the
ground to a safe position before leaving the driver’s seat.
Keep in mind that the loader boom can be lowered or tilted even if the engine h
as been
shut down (crushing hazard). The loader is not intended to be left to keep a load elevated
for longer periods. Always lower the attachment to a safe position before leaving the
driver's seat.

3.1 Personal protective equipment
Remember to wear proper personal protective equipment:

The noise level at the driver's seat may exceed 85 dB(A) depending on loader
model and operating cycle. Extended exposure to loud noise can cause
hearing impairment. Wear hearing protection while working with the loader.
Wear protective gloves.
Wear safety boots whenever working with the loader.
Wear safety glasses e.g. when handling hydraulic components.

. ..
3.2 Safe shutdown procedure
Safe stopping of the attachment, before going near the attachment:
WARNING
Always stop the attachment following safe stopping procedure before leaving
the driver's seat.
Safe stopping procedure prevents all unintentional movements of
the attachment. Note that the loader boom can move down even if th
e engine of the
loader is turned off. Safe stopping procedure:
Lower the boom and the attachment on the ground.
