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. Symbol Meaning Familiarise yourself with the safety instructions in the user manual before using or working on 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.
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. Control with the MX control valve 5.2.1 Handle setting * To ensure comfortable control of the loader, the handle's position can be adjusted.

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. Watch the unhitching/hitching video at www.m-x.eu The loader must always be connected to an implement of at least 100 kg in order to unhitch it.

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 — Check that the locking indicators on the left and right frames are in the red zone, and that no object is present to inhibit the loader connection.
Page 25
— Connect the hydraulics and the electrics. Loader with MACH System: - Ensure that the male and female couplings are clean before hitching. Clean them if necessary. - Take the housing in both hands and, with its back facing away, lift the control valve cover onto the guide bars and engage vertically.
Two-step hitching 1. Connect the hydraulics and the electrics. 2. Move the lever forwards to the notched floating position + move the tractor forwards. If necessary, turn the wheels. 3. Gently activate lifting. The loader is locked (indicator shows green). Subject to modification...

The AUTO-UNLOAD System only operates if the loader is fitted with a 3rd function. e-PILOT S control: see manual specific to e-PILOT S (function: AUTO-UNLOAD System).
— 300 mm, if the safety device is permanently activated. After 5 min, additional downward movement must not exceed 100 mm. " MX T400 19.2 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).
Button (4) is used exclusively to reactivate the safety device from outside the cab. In this case, the red indicator lights go off. 20. 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).
Page 45
Lubricate the MACH System locking system every 3 months. 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.
Tighten fasteners/screws in accordance with the tightening torque recommended in the table below. (Fasteners/screws used on the tractor must not be tightened using an air gun.) — Tightening torques (Nm) Thread Dowel Class of bolt marking (ISO 898) M 10 M 12 M 14 M 16...
22. 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.
23. SAFETY LIFT RAM STOP ON LOADER The lift ram stop must remain permanently attached to the loader. Install the lift ram safety stop before carrying out any work or maintenance operation under the raised loader arms. Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury. Only supplied in case of specific local safety regulations (Code of Practice, …).
Compliance plate. WARNING Do not exceed Rated Operating Load (ROL). TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAUSED BY FALLING LOADS: • Load on raised bucket or fork can fall or roll back onto oprator causing serious injury or death. • Use approved clamping and/or guard attachments for handling large, loose or shiftable loads such as bales.
