Intended use
Avant 755 / 760 is an articulated compact loader that is designed and manufactured for both private and
professional use. The loader can be equipped with attachments offered by Avant Tecno Oy, which enables
performing several different jobs. 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 has to do 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. A 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.
Do not operate an attachment unless you have familiarised yourself with the use of it and the eventual dangers
related to it. 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 loads or materials without any attachment fitted.
The loader must not be used in underground or tunneling work. Loads must not be suspended onto the loader
boom.
This loader has been designed to require 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. Any service operation is permitted only when wearing appropriate protective equipment.
Original spare parts must be used. Familiarise yourself with the service and maintenance instructions in this
Manual.
This Avant loader is equipped with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) in its exhaust system. During regeneration of
the filter the exhaust gas is very hot. If operating the loader at areas where there are combustible materials at the
work site, this must be taken into account as shown in this manual.
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.
