2. Designed purpose of use
The AVANT Push broom is an attachment that is suitable for use with AVANT compact loaders that are shown
in Table 1. The push broom is a simple general purpose brush without moving parts - it simply pushes the
material in front of the broom. The broom is ideal for quick clearing of smaller areas. The broom is also very
useful in paving work to push sand between bricks. The brush will last long in use, and the brush elements
can be renewed as needed.
It is also possible to install the Push broom straight on the front of Avant Root grapple bucket, Silage grab or
Timber grab without removing any hoses. With the brush you can clear the site from braches and woodchips,
and there is no need to leave the driver's seat. It is possible to install side brushes, which are available as an
option, to the Push broom. When operating the Push broom with AVANT Timber grab or Silage forks, optional
adapter for silage fork or coupling bracket for timber grab is necessary.
The Push broom 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.

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 l
ower 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.
Al
ways 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 - Never go or allow anyone else to go under the loader boom
or attachment. The stability of the loader may change when leaving the driver’s seat,
leading to tipping over of the machine. Always remember that the boom may lower
unexpectedly due to loss of stability, mechanical fault, or if another person operates
the controls of the loader, leading to c
rushing hazard. The loader is not intended to
be left to keep a load elevated for longer periods. Lower the attachment firmly on the
ground before leaving the driver's seat and never allow anyone to be under the boom
or attachment.
Risk of impact from sudden stop - Never operate at high speed unless you can
be sure that there are no obstacles at the working area.
The loader may stop
suddenly if it hits an obstacle. Check the operating area and remove or mark any
obstacle that could be hit with the broom. Always use seat belt and drive with caution.
Risk of suffocation - Never operate the loader indoors or at poorly ventilated
areas. Ensure that ventilation is sufficient when operating indoors. Do not operate the
loader in closed spaces regardless of t
he engine or fuel type. Exhaust gases may
concentrate to hazardous levels.
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.
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

Be careful when lifting load to high level or
lifting load from high. Avoid sudden changes in speed or direction to main
tain
balance of the loader especially when handling heavy loads. Drive slowly and
carefully especially on inclined terrain or slippery surfaces.
Risk of tipping over - Keep loads close to ground while driving. Carrying heavy
loads can shift the centre o
f gravity of the loader and lead to tipping over of the
loader. For the best stability always transport loads as low and close to the loader as
possible, with the telescopic boom completely retracted, to keep the centre of gravity
low.
Watch out for the strong grapple. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts, and
make sure that the attachment can’t move before going near it.
Always keep a safe distance of at least two metres between the attachment and any
persons.
Keep the loader articulation in straight position when handling heavy loads. When
turning the articulation, the loader may tilt forward.
Make sure that the surface can bear the total load. Also follow the correct tyre
pressure settings.
Observe maximum load indicated in the operator’s manual of the loader. Be
especially careful when the load sensor indicator is activated, if your loader is fitted

5. Attaching 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 coupling plate on the loader boom and the counterpart on the
attachment.
If the attachment is not locked to the loader, it may fall from the loader and cause a hazardous situation.
Never drive with the loader and never lift the loader boom if the attachment has not been fully locked. To
prevent hazardous situations, always follow the coupling procedure shown below. Also remember the safety
instructions shown in this manual.
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.
5.1.1 Installing the front brush
Avant quick coupling system:
Step 1:

Lift the locking pins of the quick coupling plate of the loader 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 the locking system from the operator's
manual of the loader.

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 coupling plate hydraulically to an obliquely forward position.

Drive the loader onto the attachment. If your loader is equipped with a
telescopic boom, you can use it to reach to the co
upling brackets of the
attachment.

Align the upper pins of the loader’s quick coupling plate so that they are under
the corresponding brackets of the attachment.
Step 3:
Lift the boom slightly –
pull the boom control lever backward to lift the
attachment just off the ground.

Turn the boom control lever left to turn the bottom section of the quick coupling
plate of the loader onto the attachment.
Lock the locking pins manually or lock the hydraulic locking.
Always check the locking of both locking pins.

WARNING
Risk of crushing - Avoid tipping over the attachment.
Excessive tilting or lifting of an
unlocked attachment increases the risk of tipping the attachment over. Do not use the
automatic locking of the locking pins when the attachment is lif
ted 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.
WARNING
Risk of falling objects -
Prevent dropping of
attachment.
An attachment that has not been completely 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
Make sure the loader is compatible with the attachment.
Stability of the loader,
possible overload of the attachment, and compatibility of loader control systems must be
ensured in addition to mechanical compatibility of the attachment. If you use the
attachment with a loader that is not fit to
be used with the attachment model you have,
risks include tipping over, damage to attachment due to overload, and risks related to
uncontrolled motion of attachment and its parts. If your loader is not listed in Table 1 on
page 6, ask your Avant dealer before using this attachment.

6.3 Operating the Push broom
Adjusting the attachment to correct working position
The correct posit
ion of the Push broom
depends of the material being moved
and surface type.
The broom works in the most efficient
way, when the quick coupling bracket is
set to slightly forward tilted position and
when light load is applied on it, as
shown in the adjacent figure.
When a suitable position is adjusted, lift
the loader boom by operating the boom
control lever only longitudinally. In this
way, the correct position is maintained,
when lowering the attachment.
Operating speed
Set the loader speed according to t
he
surface being handled and operating
conditions. Moderate loader speed is
usually enough to brush up the surface.
Performance
It is possible to remove brush elements
when more intencity is necessary during
operation. Removing the midd
le
elements, for exa
mple, leaves more
space for braches, and other objects.
See the adjacent figure, and see page
27.
Avoid pressing the brush too much to avoid damaging and quick wearing of the bristles.
Do not press the broom so that the fron
t end of the loader would lighten significantly.
Pressing the brush too much also degrades the brushing performance.
Do not leave the brush against the ground when it is attached to the loader. The weight of
the boom could cause permanent bending of t
he bristles. Remove the brush from the
loader for storage.

16 (30)
6.3.1 Transport position
Lift the push broom off the ground before
transport drive. Keep the loader stable. Always
transport the attachment as low and close to the
ground as possible. Keep the telesco
pic boom
retracted during drive.
WARNING
Keep the loader stable. Always transport the attachment as low and close to the ground
as possible. Keep the telescopic boom retracted during transport drive.
