2. Designed purpose of use
The AVANT Snow plow is an attachment suitable for use with AVANT multi purpose loaders shown in Table 1.
The plow is a versatile articulated plow intended for clearing and pushing snow on street areas. It has two
hydraulically movable blades. The position of the blades can be adjusted directly from the driver’s seat with
the auxiliary hydraulics of the loader. This makes it possible to use plow in various configurations, such as a
turnable straight dozer blade, collecting v-blade, or as a point plow.
A valve is installed on the plow to make it possible to control the blades in two different modes. The valve can
be controlled either with the optional attachment control switch pack of the loader or with a separate cable kit
that is supplied with the plow.
The floating mounting bracket allows vertical movement of the plow as well as limited horizontal tilting for the
best possible ground surface following. The lower blade sections are hinged and held in place by springs. This
allows them to tilt backwards to prevent a sudden stop of the loader if the blade hits an obstacle, protecting
both the driver and the blades. Standard, adjustable skids help the plow to move smoothly also on rough
surfaces.
The blade edges are made from superior quality wear resistant steel. They can be replaced if needed. A
rubber blade kit and an ice scraper kit are available as option.
Operating any control of the plow or the loader is permitted only for persons who are familiar with specific
safety instructions and are capable to operate the equipment safely. Operating any control is allowed only
while seated on the driver
’s seat. Ít is prohibited to use the plow in other way or for other purposes than shown
in this manual.

Maintenance and service operations

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
