2. Designed purpose of use
This AVANT Flail mower is an attachment that is suitable for use with AVANT compact loaders that are shown
in Table 1. The Flail mower is a cylinder type cutter, and it is intended for cutting of long grass, scrub, bush,
and similar vegetation. The use of the Flail mower is possible at areas where there are tree branches of up to
20 mm thick.
The Flail mower is equipped with a floating system, which allows the mower to follow the ground surface so
that the loader boom floating is not necessary. Furthermore, the blades on the flail mower shaft move freely,
so in case they hit a solid obstacle, such as rocks, ground, tree stumps etc., the blades will give in rather than
break. This saves blade costs when operating at uneven on unfamiliar areas.
The Flail mower is an optimal cutting device for places where a lot of cutting power is needed and a rougher
cut is good enough. The most common grounds for the Flail mowers are places with taller vegetation like
meadows, road banks, yard areas etc., where the lawn mower is not sufficient. The Flail mower can be
equipped with different types of blades, consult your dealer for more information.
It is recommended that the Avant is equipped with a cab (L, LX, DLX or GT) in order to protect the driver
against debris that might get thrown by the mower.
The flail mower is not intendend to be operated on horizontally inclined areas which can cause the loader to
tip over. On inclined areas the mower should be used driving up or down the slope. In addition to the Flail
mower models shown in this manual, Avant offers mowers equipped with S30 type quick coupling that are
intended to be used with a side arm. With a mower coupled to a side arm, it is possible to reach and mow
inclined surfaces, such as road banks and ditches.
The Flail mower is not designed for any other use than what is specified in this manual and must not be used
for any other purposes than what is intended for.
The attachment has been designed to require as little maintenance as possible. The operator can perform
regular maintenance tasks. All repair work can’t be performed by the operator, and demanding repair and
maintenance operations are to be left for professional technicians. All maintenance work must be done using
proper safety equipment. Spare parts must be identical with original specifications, which can be ensured by
using only original spare parts. A separate spare parts catalogue may be available, consult your Avant dealer.
Familiarise yourself with the manual's instructions regarding service and maintenance. Please contact your
AVANT dealer if you have additional questions about the operation or maintenance of the equipment, or if you
require spare parts or maintenance services.
