2. Designed purpose of use
The AVANT Rotary broom is an attachment that is suitable for use with AVANT multi purpose loaders which
are shown in Table 1. The strong and robust broom serves well also in professional use and is intended for
removing dirt, sand, sanding gravel or other small trash from larger yards, streets, or other 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. Visibility to the broom is excellent.
Together with advanced floating system the broom will follow the surface very effectively. 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 Rotary broom is not designed for any other use than what is specified in this manual and it must not be
used for any other purposes than what it 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 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 catalogue 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.

3. Safety instructions
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. Familiar
ise yourself with the controls of the 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.

The Rotary Broom 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 of injuries from abrasion, friction, entanglement - Stay away from
rotating broom.
Never leave the driver’s seat when the broom is running or when
the auxiliary hydraulics cont
rol lever of the loader is locked on. The hydraulically
operated broom is strong and it has very high torque that will keep the broom
rotating. Keep a safety distance of at least 5 metres from activated broom. Keep
hands and feet away from moving parts. Th
e bristles of the broom can cause skin
injuries even from light contact with any body part.
Beware of entanglement and severing hazards and possible debris thrown by the
broom.
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 inspections. Do not
leave the driver’s seat when the loader boom is lifted. Going under a raised
attachment or load
er 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.
Beware of the crushing hazard of the moving broom shaft, always lower the broom
completely, or use appropr
iate supports, if it is necessary to handle the broom while
lifted.
Do not tilt the broom too much upwards. The broom is hinged in a way that allows the
broom to follow the contours of the terrain. When tilted excessively, the broom may
tilt on the loa
der boom and may reach the driver’s zone. Always keep the broom
close to the ground.
Keep in mind that the broom may throw material or objects at high speed. Do not
operate the equipment, if the broom cover is not in place.

.
Shut down the loader and place the attachment to a safe position as shown in Safe
stopping procedure before any cleaning, maintenance, or adjustments.
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.
Make sure to use only an attachment that is in good condition. Check the attachment
thoroughly in regular intervals. D
o 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.
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 sp
ecific 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.
WARNING
Hazard of thrown objects - Keep bystanders away. Note
that the attachment can throw stones, gravel, or other objects
found in the area at high speed. Always keep a safety
distance of at least 5 metres to other persons.
WARNING
Risk of tipping over - Avoid overload.
Loader can tip over
when handling
too heavy loads, or because of dynamic
movements caused by driving with and handling of a heavy
load. Do not extend the telescopic boom when the load
approaches the lifting capacity of the loader, or when the
loader boom is in horizontal position. When yo
u notice that
the rear wheels of the loader are about to lift from the ground,
or if the load indicator of the loader (if fitted) signals:
Lower the load calmly and retract the telescopic boom
Avoid sudden changes in speed or direction whenever load is lifted
Use additional counterweights as needed
WARNING
Entanglement hazard - Do not use loose clothing during operation.
Never wear
loose clothing, long scarves, jewellery, or other items that might become entangled with
rotating parts while operat
ing the attachment. If needed, wear a hat to prevent long hair
from coming into contact with the rotating parts.
WARNING

8 (30)
WARNING
Risk of crushing -
Never allow anyone to get under a
lifted attachment or loader boom.
Keep in mind that the
loader boom can be
lowered or tilted even if the engine has
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.
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.
Wear respirator mask when operating in dusty conditions.
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 dow
n even if the engine of the
loader is turned off. Safe stopping procedure:
Lower the boom and the attachment on the ground.
Shut down the loader engine and lock the parking brake.
Release residual pressure from the hydraulic system; move all hydraulic cont
rol
levers to their extreme positions a couple of times.
Prevent starting of the machine, remove ignition key.
Place broom on the ground. If not intending toe immediately continue using the
broom, set the broom storage supports.
