1. Safety rules
— PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) must be worn (please refer to the "PPE table").
— Seat belts must be worn by the driver and passengers.
— Before each use, the operator must check that the loader is correctly hitched and that the implement is correctly locked
(test by pressing hard to the ground).
— Only control the loader from the cab. Keep controlling until movements stop.
— The loader controls must be locked when travelling by road (refer to the controls user manual).
— When approaching a junction, release the controls then raise the loader to at least 2 m above the ground to avoid
endangering other road users. After passing the junction, return the loader to its initial position and lock the controls
again.
— When driving on the road, do not mask the tractor’s side lights and signalling lights.
— Do not leave the cab 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. When lifting
operations require the presence of a person near to the load, the MX loader must be tted with a safety device (see the
"SAFETY WHILE LIFTING AND DUMPING" chapter).
— 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 eect 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" chapter).
— Restrict all movements with the load lifted, as the 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 the 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 tted with a structure to protect against falling objects. If this is not the
case, there are limits on 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 of the
"sustained action" type, except for the oating position for lifting, 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
