2. Designed purpose of use
The AVANT Collecting broom 1100 is an attachment that is designed and manufactured to be used with
AVANT multi-purpose loaders shown in Table 1. The collecting broom is intended for removing sand, sanding
gravel or other small trash from larger yards, streets, or other even and hard surfaces, and serves well also in
professional use. The powerful collector will remove small material from surfaces with a single pass, leaving
the surface completely clear. The collecting broom is not suitable for collecting larger trash, such as
disposable cups, boxes, or similar materials, where other broom types, such as the bucket broom, may be
more suitable.
The collecting broom is driven directly by a hydraulic motor. Also the collector box opening mechanism is
hydraulic and does not require any additional equipment on the loader to operate. With the side brush, the
cleaning of kerbs and operating near walls is easy. The side brush can be fitted on either side of the collecting
broom. To reduce dust formation during operation, a water spraying system is available as an option, which
includes nozzles for the side brush as well. The collecting broom is intended for outdoor use only and can be
used only as a collecting system from the driver’s seat of the loader, so that the collecting broom is firmly on
the ground supported by its own wheels.
This operator's manual also includes instructions regarding installation of additional components, involving
hydraulic assemblies. Safety instructions and safe working practices related to hydraulic assemblies must be
followed strictly. Installation work is intended only for persons with adequate training or experience about
hydraulic assemblies, and the system must be tested for safety before commissioning. Consult your nearest
Avant service point if necessary.
The collecting broom 1100 is not designed for any other use than specified 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.

The compatibility recommendations are based on the width of the loader, lifting capacity, and adequate
breakout force. Normally the width of the attachment should match roughly the width of the loader. When
using too wide attachment the actual breakout force (bucket tilting capacity) decreases and the overall
performance will decrease.
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.
