2. Designed purpose of use
AVANT tipping trailers are designed for transporting especially loose materials, such as soil, snow or sand.
When using the two available trailer models, their load capacities, safety instructions and recommendations
must be observed. Both trailer models are equipped with hydraulic dumping, which makes it possible to
empty the trailer from the driver’s seat. The hydraulic feature requires either single or double-acting hydraulic
rear outlet from the loader, according to the trailer model.
The sides and rear hatch can be opened, and they can be removed if necessessary. When removed, the
base of the trailer bed is completely flat. For transporting lighter materials, an extra side kit can be fitted to
increase the volume of the smaller trailer quickly and easily. The larger trailer model has side extensions as
standard. Extending the sides with other types of side extensions is prohibited.
Trailers are intended to be fitted only to Avant loaders or to other sufficiently robust
garden tractors or all terrain vehicles. The trailers mus not be coupled to cars or
tractors, and they are not suitable for road use. Find out about the applicable
regulations and restrictions before using the trailer on any road area.
The trailers are designed to require as little maintenance as possible. Regular maintenance tasks can be
performed by the operator. Repairing the hydraulic systems or the structures must be left for professionals.
Read the maintenance and servicing instructions in this manual. 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 for trailers
Please bear in mind that safety is the result of several factors. The loader-attachment combination is highly
powerful, and improper or careless use may cause serious personal injury or property damage. Due to this,
you should carefully familiarise yourself with the manuals of both the loader and the attachment before
starting operation. Do not use the attachment if you have not familiarised yourself with its operation and the
related hazards.
The purpose of these instructions is to help you to:
•use the equipment in a safe and efficient manner
•monitor and prevent any hazardous situations
•keep the equipment intact and ensure a long service life
•A trailer that becomes separated from the loader causes hazards of crushing and
impact. Make sure that the trailer coupling is securely locked.
