2. Designed purpose of use

The AVANT slurry mixer is an attachment suitable for use with AVANT multi purpose loaders shown in Table

The unit is equipped with a propeller which mixes the slurry, powered by a hydraulic motor. The mixer is 25

mm thick and 490 mm wide, meant to fit through the floor slat into the storage tank. Working depth is max. 1,5

m. There is also a red position indicator for the propeller at the upper end of the mixing shaft. When the

position indicator is crosswise in relation to the loader, the mixer can be lifted up through the slat.

The slurry mixer is intended for mixing of slurry in cattle buildings with slatted floors, where the animal waste

falls through the slats directly to the storage tank below the floor. The slurry that forms in the tank needs to be

mixed from time to time so that it stays liquid and moves towards the bigger slurry container which is usually

located outside the building.

The mixer is also equipped with a coupling for water hose at the upper end of the frame tube. Water is

conducted inside the tube down to the mixing propeller.

The slurry mixer is not designed for any other use than specified and must not be used for any other purposes

than intended.

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 maintenance. 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 retailer if you have additional questions about the operation or maintenance of the equipment, or if

you require spare parts or maintenance services.

3. Safety instructions for using the slurry mixer

Please bear in mind that safety is the result of several factors. The loader-attachment combination is highly

powerful and improper or careless use or maintenance may cause serious personal injury or property

damage. Due to this, all operators must carefully familiarise themselves about correct use and the operator's

manuals of both the loader and the attachment before starting operation. Do not use the attachment if you

have not completely familiarised yourself with its operation and the related hazards.

DANGER

Misuse, careless use, or using an attachment that is in poor condition, may

cause risk of serious injuries.
