Designed purpose of use 

The AVANT Carousel broom is an attachment suitable for use with AVANT multi purpose loaders, as shown in 

Table 1. The Carousel broom sweeps the material from floors and other hard surfaces efficiently aside, 

without the need to sweep the same location many times.  
The Carousel broom can be turned manually to both sides by max. 57 degrees (1090 mm), which allows 

brushing next to walls also. The side shift has multiple possible setting points. The direction of rotation of the 

attachment can be selected freely. The Carousel broom is equipped with replaceable nylon brush. The broom 

can be rotated in either direction with the auxiliary hydraulics of an Avant loader. 
The Carousel 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 intended. 
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 maintenance. 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 retailer if you have additional questions about the operation or maintenance of the equipment, or if 

you require spare parts or maintenance services.
