CONNECTING AN DISCONNECTING HYDRAULIC HOSES
On 200-700 series loaders hydraulic hoses are connected using the multiconnector system. If you want to chan-
ge the type of the hydraulic couplings, contact your Avant dealer or service point for instructions or installation
services. On old 200-series loaders only conventional quick couplings are available.
Never connect or disconnect quick couplings or other hydraulic components while the
system is under pressure or if the control lever of the auxiliary hydraulics control lever
is locked on. Connecting or disconnecting the hydraulic couplings while the system
is pressurized may lead to unintended movements of the attachment, or ejection of
highpressure uid, which can cause serious injuries or burns. Follow safe stopping pro-
cedure before disconnecting the hydraulic hoses.
Keep the ttings as clean as possible; use the protective caps for the quick couplings on
both the attachment and the loader. Dirt, ice, etc. may make using the ttings signi-
cantly more dicult. Never leave the hoses hanging on the ground; place them on the
holder on the attachment.
An attachment that has not been completely locked to the loader may fall on the boom
or operator, or under the loader during driving, and cause serious injuries or loss of
control of the loader. Before moving or lifting the attachment, make sure that the
locking pins are in the lower position and come through the fasteners on both sides.
Never move or lift an attachment that has not been locked.
WARNING!
!
200-700 series
loaders:
Old 200 series
loaders:
Excessive tilting or lifting of an unlocked attachment increases the risk of tipping the
attachment over. Do not use the automatic locking of the locking pins when the at-
tachment is lifted more than one meter from the ground. If the locking pins do not
return to the normal position when tilting, do not tilt or raise the attachment any more.
Lower the attachment on the ground and secure the locking manually.
