  • Page 7 The loader is a complex machine. The operator must read this manual before using the loader for the first time. Familiarise yourself with: — The safety instructions. — Hitching and unhitching the loader. — Hitching and unhitching the implements. — Full use of the controls.
  • Page 8: Safety Rules

    — For full use of the MX loader, the tractor must be fitted 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 fitting must be in active position while working.
  • Page 9: Ppe Table (Personal Protective Equipment)

    If the tractor is not fitted with a structure protecting against falling loads, the driver is exposed to constant risk when handling loads. If the tractor is fitted with a roll cage only, the loader must be equipped with a parallelogram. Reminder: only implements recommended by the MX loader manufacturer may be used. Subject to modification...
  • Page 10: Non-Compliance With Instructions For Safety And Use

    MX on the MX loader, will render the MX guarantee on all supplied items null and void. — Use only genuine MX spare parts. Do not carry out any modifications yourself or have anyone else do so on your MX loader and its implements (mechanical, electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic specifications) without seeking prior approval in writing from MX.
  • Page 11: Safety Stickers

    2. Safety stickers Safety stickers are affixed to loaders. Ensure that these stickers are clean and legible; replace them if they become damaged. Familiarise yourself with the safety instructions in the user manual before using or working on the loader. Follow the loader hitching and unhitching procedure given in the user manual. Use the anchoring points when handling the loader.

    3. Identification plate The identification plate is located inside the loader's right arm. The serial number and loader model shown on this plate must be quoted in any request for spare parts information or technical assistance. Subject to modification...
  • Page 13: Counterweight

    4. Counterweight The stability of the tractor-loader unit can only be ensured with a counterweight installed on the rear of the tractor. This should ensure that 20% of the gross weight (tractor, loader, implement, maximum load and counterweight) bears on the rear axle of the tractor for optimum working safety.
  • Page 14: Control

  • Page 27: Shock Eliminator System

    12. SHOCK ELIMINATOR System Shocks are eliminated during movement or when stopping the loader quickly when lowering. This system softens impacts on the tractor and jolting in the cab. NOTE: The Shock Eliminator can be activated or deactivated directly in the cab (electric isolation). See manual specific to e-PILOT S.
  • Page 28: Auto-Level System

    13. AUTO-LEVEL System Automatic implement level reset, using the AUTO-LEVEL System (optional), is available for loaders controlled using the tractor's original control valve or by MX "Flexpilot" or "e-PILOT S" control valves. 13.1 Implement position adjustment The implement position is adjusted at the indicator rod. See pictures opposite.
  • Page 29: Automatic Implement Position Reset

  • Page 32: Maintenance

    16. Maintenance Drain the tractor's hydraulic circuit regularly and change the filters in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendation. Contaminated oil ceases to lubricate, causing wear to all the hydraulic components (pumps, control valves, rams). Even clear oil may be spent. Maintenance operations must be performed by competent persons, authorised by the dealer.
  • Page 33 Lubricate every 10 hours and after each wash (water drives grease out), particularly after using a pressure washer. See the lubrication points opposite. Recommended type of grease for maintenance: NLGI 2 When using a pressure washer, do not direct the jet of water onto the electric components.
  • Page 34: Directions For Use

    17. Directions for use — Each implement has been designed for a specific use and has its own resistance limits. — Land clearing and stump pulling are prohibited. This work must be done with specialized machinery and is not appropriate for the agricultural loader.
