Mounting attachment to the side shift adapter
The side shift adapter is equipped with similar locking pins as the quick coupling of the loader. Ensure that all
four locking pins are in the lower position and they have locked securely.
Attaching an attachment to the side shift adapter is easiest, when the side shift adapter is first mounted on the
quick attach plate of the loader. After this the attachment can be mounted to the side shift adapter in a similar
way as without the side shift adapter.
5.3
Connecting and disconnecting hydraulic hoses
The Side shift adapter is equipped with a multiconnector for connecting the hydraulic hoses of the adapter to
the loader. To use a hydraulically operated attachment that is connected to the side shift adapter, the
multiconnector of the side shift adapter must be replaced with conventional type hydraulic couplings. Contact
your Avant dealer or service point for more information.
WARNING
Risk of movement of the attachment and ejection of hydraulic oil - Never connect
or disconnect quick couplings or other hydraulic components while the control
lever of the auxiliary hydraulics control lever is locked on or if the system is
pressurized.
Connecting or disconnecting the hydraulic couplings while the system is
pressurized may lead to unintended movements of the attachment, or ejection of high-
pressure fluid, which can cause serious injuries or burns. Follow safe stopping procedure
before disconnecting hydraulics.
Keep all fittings as clean as possible; use the protective caps on both the attachment and
the loader. Dirt, ice, etc. may make using the fittings significantly more difficult. Never
leave the hoses hanging on the ground; place the couplings onto the holder on the
attachment.
