Designed purpose of use
The AVANT Snow plow is an attachment suitable for use with AVANT multi purpose loaders that are shown
in table 1. The plow is a versatile articulated plow to transferring and clearing snow. The position of the
blades can be adjusted independently directly from the driver’s seat with the use of electrically controlled
hydraulic valve on the plow. This makes it possible to use plow in various configurations, such as a
slewable straight dozer blade, collecting v-blade or as a point plow.
The floating mounting bracket allows vertical movement of the plow as well as horizontal twisting for the
best possible ground surface following. In addition, the lower blade sections are hinged in a way that allows
them to tilt backwards if they hit an obstacle, preventing sudden stopping of the loader and protecting both
the driver and the blades. Optional adjustable skids help the plow to move smoothly even on rough
surfaces. The snow plow is designed to be installed on an Avant loader for clearing and pushing snow on
street areas. Operating any controls of the plow or the loader is permitted only for persons who are familiar
with specific safety instructions and are capable to operate the equipment safely. Operating any control is
allowed only when sitting on the driver’s seat. Using the plow in other way or for other purposes than
shown in this manual is prohibited.
The attachments have been designed to require as little maintenance as possible. The operator can
perform regular maintenance tasks. All repair work can’t normally be performed by the operator, and
demanding repair and maintenance tasks, such as servicing or replacing hydraulic components, should left
for professional service technicians. All maintenance work must be done using proper safety equipment. All
spare parts must be similar to original specifications, which can be ensured by using only original Avant
spare parts.
Familiarise yourself with the instructions regarding service and maintenance 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 using the Snow Plow
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, 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 completely familiarised
yourself with its operation and the related hazards.
