Designed purpose of use
This AVANT Concrete mixer is an attachment designed and manufactured to suite AVANT multi purpose
loaders for mixing and easy dispensing of concrete. With the mixer concrete can be prepared and
transported easily even at difficult locations. Concrete mixer is hydraulically operated and it can be emptied
by tilting the bucket or by opening the ejecting hatch at the side of the bucket and using the chute to channel
the concrete accurately.
Concrete mixing bucket is a handy tool when you need to make concrete without electricity or when concrete
needs to be transported to a difficult place. Sand or gravel can be filled directly from the ground by using the
mixer like a normal bucket. The bucket can also be filled manually, when the bucket is supported against the
ground. The attachment is suitable for handling concrete or other similar type of material.
The attachments have been designed to require as little maintenance as possible. Regular maintenance
tasks can be performed by the operator, but certain more demanding tasks must be left to qualified
professionals. Appropriate protective equipment and original spare parts must be used for the maintenance.
Read the maintenance and servicing instructions in this manual. 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.

Safety instructions for the concrete mixer
Please bear in mind that safety is the result of several factors. The loader-attachment combination is highly
powerful, and improper or careless use may cause serious personal injury or property damage. Due to this,
you should carefully familiarise yourself with the manuals of both the loader and the attachment before
starting operation. Do not use the attachment if you have not familiarised yourself with its operation and the
related hazards. The purpose of these instructions is to help you to:
•
use the equipment in a safe and efficient manner
•
monitor and prevent any hazardous situations
•
keep the equipment intact and ensure a long service life
•
When attaching the attachment to the loader, ensure that the locking pins of the
loader's quick attach plate are in the lower position and that they have locked the
concrete mixer to the loader.
•
The loader and its controls are to be used by only one operator at a time. Do not go
near the attachment if another person is operating the controls of the loader, or allow
others to go near the machine when operating the loader.
•
Avoid the hazard of falling materials by keeping the bucket always close to the ground.
Be sure not to tilt the concrete mixer too far up to prevent material from spilling from the
bucket.
