An attachment that has not been completely locked to the
loader may fall on the boom or operator, or under the
loader while driving, causing serious injuries. Before
moving or lifting the attachment, make sure that the
locking pins are in the lower position and come through the
fasteners on both sides. Never move or lift an attachment
that has not been locked.
Excessive tilting or lifting of an unlocked attachment increases the risk of tipping the
attachment over. Do not use the automatic locking of the locking pins when the
attachment is lifted more than one metre from the ground. If the locking pins do not
return to the normal position when tilting, do not tilt or raise the attachment any more.
Lower the attachment on the ground and secure the locking manually.

Connecting and disconnecting hydraulic fittings
The default hydraulic connector for front mount compressor is the multiconnector system. If you want to
change the type of the hydraulic couplings of the attachment or the loader, contact your Avant dealer or
service point for instructions or installation services.
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 burns or other injuries.
Keep the fittings as clean as possible; use the protective caps for the quick couplings on both the attachment
and the loader. Dirt, ice, etc. may make using the fittings significantly more difficult. Never leave the hoses
hanging on the ground; place them on top of the equipment.
Connecting the multiconnector system:
Align the pins of the attachment connector with corresponding holes of the
loader connector. The multiconnector will not connect if the attachment
connector is upside down. Connect and lock the multiconnector by turning
the lever towards the loader.
The lever should move easily all the way to its locking position. If the lever
does not slide smoothly, check the alignment and position of the connector
and clean the connectors. Also shut down the loader and release the
residual hydraulic pressure.
To disconnect the multiconnector system, turn off the auxiliary hydraulics of
the loader and unlock the multiconnector. To unlock, push the knob on the
side of the connector, and turn the lever to disconnect.
