Intended use
The Avant e series loaders are battery powered, hydraulically operated, articulated compact loaders. They are
designed and manufactured for both private and professional use. The loader can be equipped with a range of
attachments offered by Avant Tecno Oy, which enables you to do several different jobs with the same machine.
Because of this multi-purpose nature of the machine and the various attachments and tasks, read always not only
this Manual but also the Operator's Manual of the attachment, and follow all instructions. Every person who deals
with this machine must follow work safety regulations, all other generally accepted rules related to work health and
safety, and all road traffic regulations.
Remember that safety consists of several factors. The loader, by itself or equipped with an attachment, is very
powerful and can cause serious personal injuries or property damages if it is operated in a wrong or careless way.
Never allow the compact size of the loader to distract from this fact and keep it in mind when you consider allowing
another user to operate it. Do not operate an attachment unless you have familiarised yourself with the use of it
and the eventual dangers and risks related to it. Take the keys with you when you leave the loader unattended to
prevent other, unfamiliar persons to operate the machine. The loader is not intended to lift or transport people or
be used as a work platform. Different jobs require different attachments, and it is not allowed to handle any
material or loads without any attachment fitted.
This loader has been designed to need as little maintenance as possible. The operator can perform the routine
maintenance operations. There are however more demanding service operations that can be done by professional
service personnel only. Wear appropriate protective equipment when you do any service or maintenance work.
Original spare parts must be used. Familiarise yourself with the service and maintenance instructions in this
Manual. Operating a loader that is in poor condition, or that has received unauthorised modifications, can be
hazardous to the operator and bystanders.
Contact your local AVANT dealer, if you are uncertain of anything concerning the operation and maintenance of
this loader, or for any questions, service, or spare parts.
In addition to the safety instructions included in this manual, you must observe all occupational safety regulations,
local laws, and other regulations concerning the use of the equipment. Particularly the regulations concerning the
use of the equipment on public road areas must be observed. Contact your Avant dealer for more information
about local requirements before you operate the loader on road areas.
Battery operated e5
Ambient temperature will affect the power that is available from the battery. Battery performance may decrease
significantly at temperatures below 0 ºC (32 ºF) and batteries can be discharged more quickly during use. For the
best performance in cold conditions, it is recommended to store the loader in a warm place. Always charge
immediately after use to avoid battery deterioration.
Discharged batteries may freeze in cold environment. Frozen batteries must never be charged. To avoid the
possibility of a freezing battery, never allow the battery to get fully discharged in cold tempeartures. Charging the
battery outdoors in freezing temperature will not recharge the battery to the full capacity. Because of this it is not
recommended to charge the loader at temperatures below 0 ºC (32 ºF). See instructions in this manual regarding
operating environment, charging, and safety of the battery and the electric systems of the loader.
The loader is designed to operate with the battery pack supplied with the loader and approved by the
manufacturer. The battery pack must be charged only with the charger that is provided with the loader, or other
charging system supplied by Avant specifically for this loader model. Using any other batteries or chargers can
cause fire or explosion of batteries and risk of electric shock.
Maintenance tasks that you can do to this system without special training and qualification are limited to charging,
water fill, cleaning, replacement of fuse. Never connect any device directly to the battery.
