Safety notes
X6 - P/N 6525032M1
Implements and attachments [4.5.1.1]
WARNING: Use exclusively front loader ap-
proved by the tractor's manufacturer, with CE
mark and parallelogram type. The installation
and modification of the tractor must be carried
out with the highest technical standards by
specialised workshops with qualified person-
nel. Such workshops must be able to guarantee
and attest the risk analysis provided for in the
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC concerning the
foreseen and predictable use of the tractor with
front loader, in order to carry out all required
adaptations of the tractor. Use the front loader
and all supplied equipment as prescribed by
the loader's operator manual.
IMPORTANT: Keep the loader's operation manual together
with the tractor's manual, always at hand in the storage
compartment of the tractor. Before driving or operation
your tractor, it is mandatory to read this manual very care-
fully, with special attention to the chapter concerning
safety rules.
DANGER: Use of the front loader and of the trac-
tor equipped with front loader, if not correctly
carried out, and handling not secured loads or
with unsuitable equipment constitute a serious
danger for the operator and everyone standing
by, because of the danger of falling objects.

•
Three-point hitch and side mounted implements make
a much larger arc when turning than towed equipment.
Make certain to maintain enough clearance for safe
turning. [4.2.b]
•
To use mounted, semi-mounted and towed equipment
it is required to use exclusively CE marked implements,
after reading their operation and service handbooks
carefully, giving maximum attention to risks connected
with their association to the tractor. [4.2.a]
•
If implements are hitched to the tractor by means of
the three-point linkage, check for compliance of the
implements according to category. [4.2.a]
The implement has to be fitted with suitable supports
in order to avoid tipping or accidental shifting during
hitching.
Always check three-directional fastening to the tractor
of the mounted or semi-mounted implement, to avoid
dangerous swinging and shaking during transport and
work that could jeopardize the stability of the tractor-
implement assembly.
•
The universal shaft must be always CE-marked and
suitable to tractor-implement coupling. Follow all
directions of the operation manual, concerning both
the fastening according to connection direction and
safety rules to avoid rotation of protections (chains)
and overlaying of the telescopic tubes. Also keep
articulation angles. [4.2.e][4.2.k]
•
Hitch loads to the drawbar only. Towing or attaching
to other locations may cause the tractor to overturn.
(Fig.2-36)
•
Improper use of the drawbar, even if correctly posi-
tioned, can cause a rear overturn.

WARNING: a tractor provided with 2-post frame
or cab, cannot be provided with a front loader
if not also provided with a protection from fall-
ing objects (FOPS). In such conditions there is a
residual risk from lack of passive protection from
objects falling from above due to improper use of
the equipment.
To reduce risks, the following precautions should be
used.
- Only use loader equipped with a load self-levelling
system, i.e. of the parallelogram type.
- Only use specific implements for the operation to be
performed. Strictly follow the directions and warnings
in the loader's operation manual. [4.1.g]
- Use the machine and the implement with caution,
drive on plane ground and avoid pits, excavations and
ditches. Do not turn, start or stop abruptly.
- If a front loader is mounted afterwards, it is advis-
able to use a tractor with cab or with a 4-post frame
with FOPS safety system. The loader installer should
carefully analyze all risks and make all required ad-
justments.
