Drive control
Principle of operation
AVANT 755 / 760 loader is equipped with a
hydrostatic drive system. This is based on a variable
displacement hydraulic pump in the drive circuit that
is proportionally controlled with the two drive pedals.
Driving of the machine is controlled with the drive
pedals and hand throttle.
 Suitable engine speed is selected with the
hand throttle lever on the control panel, and
desired driving direction and speed are
controlled with the drive pedals.
 To get maximum pushing power push the
pedals lightly – for higher travel speed push
the pedal harder.
WARNING
Risk of collision or tip over - Use
low speed when you practise the
use of the loader. Familiarise
yourself with the driving of the
machine on low speed and on a
flat, even and open place. Make
sure that there are no persons in
the operating area of the machine
to avoid injuries that could result
from unintended movements.
When you have learned how to
drive with slow speed operating
mode, increase speed gradually
and learn how to drive and steer
the loader with higher drive
speeds.

Drive pedals
Using the drive pedals:
 Driving forward: press gently on the right
drive pedal until the machine starts to move
slowly.
 To drive backward: press gently on the left
drive pedal.
 When you wish to stop: gently release the
pedal by lifting your foot, and the loader will
slow down and stop.
If you need stop more quickly, press the drive pedal
of the opposite drive direction. Release both pedals
as soon as the loader has stopped, otherwise the
loader will immediately start to move to the direction
of the drive pedal that is pressed.
The hand throttle lever can be used to control engine
speed also while driving. The basic rule is to use
lower engine rpm for lighter work and higher rpm for
hard work or for high travel speed.
WARNING
Risk of tipping over -
Avoid high
speed turns.
The loader can tip
over, if you turn the steering wheel
sharply while driving. Slow
down
befor
e making sharp turns. Always
control and steer the loader with
smooth movements.
