Designed purpose of use
The mini diggers are attachment designed for AVANT multi purpose loaders. They are digging attachments
meant for occasional digging in places, where the dug soil can be shifted to the sides with the loader. The
digging attachment utilises the movements of the loader boom and it is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder to
tilt the bucket. The digger can be mounted quickly and it is powerful with respect to its size. Depending on
the model, the digger is equipped with either a 250 mm or 400 mm bucket.
The attachments have been designed to require as little maintenance as possible. Regular maintenance
tasks can be performed by the operator. Not all maintenance tasks can be performed by the operator; certain
tasks must be left to qualified 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.

Safety instructions for the mini diggers
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
•
When mounting the mini digger 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
attached to the loader.
•
Start operating with the digger carefully and calmly.
•
Keep bystanders away from the operating area of the digger. Do not go near raised
digger or under the boom, or allow others to enter the danger area.
•
Do not use the digger on horizontally tilted terrains. Ensure the stability of the loader
and firmness of the ground also on even terrains.
•
Note that the excavation may suddenly cave in. Exercise extreme caution when driving
near ditches or embankments, and avoid driving along the ditch, as the machine could
suddenly tip over if an edge caves in.
•
Pay attention to the contours of the terrain .Pay attention to the surroundings and any
other persons and machines moving in the vicinity.
