2. Designed purpose of use
This AVANT Lawn mower 1200 is an attachment that is suitable for use with AVANT multi purpose loaders
that are shown in Table 1. The Lawn mower is suitable for residential and professional use as well. It is
intended to be used to mow lawns on level, tended areas free of rocks, tree stumps, large branches, or other
similar obstacles. The robust lawn mower can also shred tree leaves and small branches during lawn mowing.
The lawn mower is equipped with the OptiFloat® floating linkage system, which allows the mower to freely
follow the ground, eliminating the need for the loader boom floating. In addition, the float system enables
efficient side tilting of the lawn mower.
The cutting deck has 2 blades. As standard, the lawn mower is equipped with a mulching kit, and the clippings
will be shred under the mower. Optional side discharge kit can be fitted, which makes it easy to cut longer
grass, or allows higher mowing speed. The Lawn mower 1200 is also available as a version with a collector
unit for the clippings. This operator’s manual is applicable only for the models without the clippings collector
unit.
Either a side cover, side discharge chute, mulching kit, or collector unit must be installed to the the lawn
mower. The use of the mower without any side guard in place is dangerous to both the operator and any
person nearby, and therefore it is strictly prohibited.
The lawn mower is not designed for any other use than what is specified in this manual and must not be used
for any other purposes than what is intended for. The lawn mower is not intended e.g. for mowing long hay
shrub or equivalent taller vegetation. The lawn mower cannot be used in a hung position; it is meant to run on
its own wheels. For mowing long hay, we recommend the AVANT Flail Mowers.
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.

It is recommended to use the attachment only with loaders marked with • in Table 1. When using with models
marked with (
•
), full performance may not be achieved. Additional counterweights may also be required. For
compatibility with a model not shown in table, contact your Avant dealer.
Compatibility recommendations are based on the width of the loader, the lifting capacity of the loader, and the
auxiliary hydraulics oil flow of the loader.
When using loader models 635, 640, or R35, which are equipped with Stage V Kubota
V1505 engine, full performance may not be achieved with this attachment. These Stage
V models have lower hydraulic output which may affect performance of the attachment.
