Designed purpose of use
The AVANT skip bucket is an attachment designed and manufactured to suite AVANT multi purpose loaders
for waste collecting, transporting, storing and emptying. The edge if the bucket tilts down to the ground so it
can be loaded from the ground level, and thanks to the sharp front edge the filling is easy and efficient. The
bucket has two support legs so that it can be left standing in place.
The attachments have been designed to require as little maintenance as possible. The operator can perform
regular maintenance tasks, but certain more demanding tasks must be left to qualified professionals.
Appropriate protective equipment and original spare parts must be used for the maintenance. 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.

Safety instructions for the skip bucket
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
•
Ensure that a bucket that is not mounted is supported properly.
•
Due to the tipping hazard of a bucket that has not been mounted, do not try to move it
by pushing or dragging it, instead lift it with the loader.
•
When mounting the bucket 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.
•
Fill the bucket in a way that its centre of gravity will not get shifted by too much, and
that the stability of the bucket will remain.
•
Always transport the bucket as low and as close to the machine as possible to keep the
centre of gravity low.
•
When transporting the attachment, pay attention to the contours of the terrain and other
hazards. Pay attention to the surroundings and any other persons and machines
moving in the vicinity.
•
Do not modify the structure of the attachment in a manner that would affect its safety.
