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.
— 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.
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...
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.
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...
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.
Control using the tractor's control valves Refer to the user manual for the tractor. 5.1.1 Front/rear control selector (optional) From the tractor's original joystick, the user in the cab controls either the MX loader or the rear couplings. Subject to modification...
Control with MX e-PILOT S control valve See manual specific to e-PILOT S. 6. Loader unhitching This operation must be carried out by the driver, who must exit the cab and ensure all manoeuvres are prohibited while working on the loader.

— Hook the MACH System housing onto its support. — Reverse the tractor in one motion, then slowly until the loader is resting on its parking stands. — Check the stability of the whole assembly. Subject to modification...
7. Loader hitching This operation must be carried out by the driver, who must exit the cab and ensure all manoeuvres are prohibited while working on the loader. Watch the unhitching/hitching video at www.m-x.eu — Advance the tractor slowly so that the bracket is approx. 5 cm behind the frames.

— Lift the loader 0.5 m above the ground. — Lock the loader frame onto the bracket with the spindles. — Fold away the parking stands. Subject to modification...
8. Implement unhitching This operation must be carried out by the driver, who must exit the cab and ensure all manoeuvres are prohibited while working on the loader. — Choose a level and solid surface. — Position the implement horizontally, 0.30 m above the ground. —...

— Put the hoses on the front of the implement. — Set the implement down on the ground by lightly dumping to release the implement carrier from the implement. Subject to modification...
9. Implement hitching This operation must be carried out by the driver, who must exit the cab and ensure all manoeuvres are prohibited while working on the loader. — Align the loader with the implement. — Before attaching the implement, make sure that the locks are in the "open"...
Operate each moving part fully, in each direction, to check the integrity of the hydraulic circuit and the correct routing of the hoses. 10. Models of implement carrier frames — MX implement carrier — Euro implement carrier Subject to modification...
11. Level indicator The level indicator enables implement positioning as the loader is descending. It is located on the left side of the loader. It can be adjusted to suit the implement being used. (1) indicator (2) Bucket parallel to the ground Subject to modification...
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.
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.
13.2 Automatic implement position reset The system operates in both directions: crowding and dumping. If the implement is dumped when the AUTO-LEVEL System is activated, the loader crowds. If the implement is crowded, the loader dumps. Control: see specific manual for e-PILOT S. 14.
15. Safety when lifting and dumping In compliance with standard EN 12525 + A2 2010, it can be disengaged for working when no one is near the load. The movements can then be carried out, with no loss of power or speed of execution. Uniquely, this equipment is compatible with the Shock Eliminator and the notched floating position.
15.2 Use of the lifting and dumping safety device The hydraulic circuit of the lifting and dumping rams is fitted with a safety device (1) and (2). By default, the safety device is activated. When the user presses the button in the cab (3) (secure button), the safety device is deactivated and the red indicator lights are illuminated on: —...
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.
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.
18. Recycling MX products Hydraulic system — At the end of their service life, MX products must be drained of hydraulic oil by an authorised service technician. — The hydraulic hoses must be removed before the equipment can be recycled.
