1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
— PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) must be worn. Please refer to the "PPE table".
— Before each use, the operator must check that the loader is correctly hitched (locking indicator shows green) and that
the implement is correctly locked (test by pressing hard to the ground).
— Only control the loader from the control station. Keep controlling until movements stop.
— The loader controls must be locked when travelling by road (refer to the controls user manual).
— Do not leave the control station without stopping all control movements (control lever locked).
— Never leave the tractor with the loader lifted. After using the loader, park the tractor with the loader lowered to
the ground.
— All persons must be kept away from the area in which the loader is moving while it is in operation. If any lifting
operations require the presence of a person near the load, the MX loader must be tted with a safety device
(see the "SAFETY WHILE LIFTING AND DUMPING" section).
— Before use, the operator should be sure that the loader-tractor unit and the implement-loader unit are compatible.
They should refer to the MX price list in force with their dealer.
— The operator must use an implement designed and recommended by MX for the work to be carried out.
— Carrying or lifting persons using the loader is forbidden.
— Ensure tractor stability by using a suitable counterweight (see the "COUNTERWEIGHT" section).
— Restrict all movements with the load lifted as he tractor may become unbalanced.
— The maximum front axle loading specied by the tractor manufacturer must not be exceeded.
— In order to limit stresses on the front axle and steering ram, and to limit tyre wear, move forwards or backwards
when steering.
— The maximum loading on the front tyres specied by the tyre manufacturer must not be exceeded.
— Check tyre pressures regularly.
— Check periodically to ensure that safety pins and bolts are in place. Do not replace them with any other items such as:
nails, wire, etc.
— For full use of the MX loader, the tractor must be equipped with a structure to protect against falling objects. If this is not the
case, limit the use of the MX loader (see the "LOADER USE LIMITS" section). Caution: the protective tting must be in
active position while working. If the tractor is tted with a roll cage only, the loader must be equipped with a parallelogram.
— Watch out for overhead electricity and telephone lines, guttering, framework, etc. when moving with the loader
in raised position.
— In compliance with standard EN 12525 + A2 2010, the controls for operating the loader and implements must be
"sustained action" type except for the oating position which can be held in place by a notching system.
— Any fault diagnosis and/or removal of parts must be carried out by a professional who shall start by guaranteeing
that the work will be carried out safely for him and his environment, notably in the case of work on a lifted loader.
— For all operations on the machine, pay attention to the risks of crushing or pinching, especially with moving parts.
— For all interventions at height on the machine, use stable and secured means. Stop the tractor engine, if the loader
is hitched to the tractor.
— Keep the tractor-loader clean to avoid the risk of re.
- Ensure that airborne particles (straw, grass, wood shavings, etc.) do not accumulate in areas which reach
high temperatures.
- Inspect and clean sectors where dierent materials can accumulate, especially around the engine and the exhaust area.
