Step 3:
•
Lift the boom slightly – pull the boom control
lever backward to raise the attachment off the
ground.
•
Turn the boom control lever left to turn the
bottom section of the quick attach plate onto the
attachment.
•
Lock the locking pins.
Unlocked attachment may fall on the
boom or operator and cause injuries.
Before
moving
or
raising
the
attachment, ensure that the locking
pins are in the lower position and
come through the fasteners on both
sides.
Do not use the automatic locking of the locking pins at a height of over one metre. If
the locking pins do not return to the normal position when the front plate is tilted, do
not raise the attachment any more. Lower the attachment on the ground and secure
the locking manually.

Connecting and disconnecting the hydraulic fittings
The attachment is equipped with either standard quick couplings or the multiconnector system. If you want
to change the type of the hydraulic couplings, contact your Avant dealer or service point for instructions or
installation services. On 200-series loaders only conventional quick couplings are available.
Never connect or disconnect quick couplings or other hydraulic components while the
system is under pressure or if the control lever of the auxiliary hydraulics control lever
is locked on. Connecting or disconnecting the hydraulic couplings while the system is
pressurized may lead to unintended movements of the attachment, or ejection of high-
pressure fluid, which can cause serious injuries.
Connecting standard quick couplings:
Before connecting or disconnecting the standard quick couplings, shut down the loader engine and move
the auxiliary hydraulics lever on the loader to its extreme positions a few times. This way, there will be no
residual pressure in the system and it is possible to connect the fittings.
To connect and disconnect the standard couplings, move the collar at the
end of the female fitting. The hoses should be connected so that the
coupling equipped with a coloured cap is connected to the corresponding
coupling of the loader. Note that the protective caps on the loader and the
attachment can be fastened to each other during operation to reduce the
accumulation of dirt. When disconnecting the standard quick couplings a
small amount of oil may drip from the couplings. Wear protective gloves
and have some cloth at hand to keep the equipment clean.
