The loader is a complex machine. The operator must read this manual before using the loader for the first time. — Any use not intended by the manufacturer is considered improper use. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any resulting damage. —...
— 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.
— 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. —...
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. Operating rules — 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.
3. Safety stickers Safety stickers are affixed to the loaders. Ensure that these stickers are clean and legible; replace them if they become damaged. If replacing a sticker, clean the surface used for the sticker with isopropyl alcohol and affix the sticker using a special tool.

Symbol Meaning Drive with the loader in the low position. Climbing on the implement is prohibited. Standing beneath the load is prohibited. Use an implement suitable for the work to be carried out and use it in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
4. Identification plate The identification plate is located inside the loader's left arm. The serial number and loader model shown on this plate must be quoted in any request for spare parts information or technical assistance. 5. Counterweight The stability of the tractor-loader unit can only be ensured with a counterweight installed on the rear of the tractor.

7. Loader unhitching This operation must be carried out by the driver, who must exit the driver's seat 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.
Page 22
— Disconnect the hydraulics and the electrics. Loader with MACH System: - Unlock the housing of the MACH System by pressing the safety latch on the left, then lift the handle. — There must be 10 to 30 mm between the ground and the parking stand shoe.
Page 23
— On the right side, pull the unlocking handle sharply downwards. IMPORTANT : The locking indicator is in the red zone. — Go back to the driving position and check that the locking indicators on the left and right hitching frames are in the red zone.
8. Loader hitching This operation must be carried out by the driver, who must exit the driver's seat 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 — Connect the hydraulics and the electrics. — Move the lever forwards to the notched floating position + move the tractor forwards. If necessary, turn the wheels. — Gently activate lifting. The loader is locked (indicator shows green). Subject to modification...
Page 27
— Raise and lock the right and left parking stands. — Check: apply ground force to the implement. Subject to modification...
9. Implement unhitching This operation must be carried out by the driver, who must exit the driver's seat and ensure all manoeuvres are prohibited while working on the loader. Implement carrier with manual unlocking — Choose a level and solid surface. —...
— Pull the lever towards you until it stays engaged. — Set the implement onto the ground, lightly dumping to release the implement carrier from the implement. EURO/TENIAS implement carrier — Position the implement horizontally and without load, 0.30 m above the ground.
FAST-LOCK implement carrier — Lift the loader to clear the implement from the ground. — With the implement horizontal, press the green and padlock buttons while moving the monolever to the right (dumping). — The implement is now unlocked. — Set the implement onto the ground, lightly dumping to release the implement carrier frame from the implement.
— Turn off the engine. — Decompress the hydraulic lines supplying the implement. NOTE : If the loader has a solenoid valve, switch on the ignition and press the control button. — Ensure that the male and female couplings are clean before connection.
10.3 FAST-LOCK implement carrier — “Open” position, to allow space for the implement parts. — Align the loader with the implement, — Fit the implement carrier onto the implement, — Crowd slightly and raise the loader to lift the implement from the ground.

16. AUTO-UNLOAD System The bucket/grab synchronisation (optional) operates both ways: — Opening the grab/Tipping the bucket. — Crowding the bucket/Closing the grab. 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).
— Close the MACH 2 system. 18. Work lights The Work lights kit (option) consists of two LED lights located above the lifting cylinders. This kit illuminates the front of the LOADER for maintenance or handling operations where visibility is reduced (dark building, night, raised loader handling, etc.).
19. Safety when lifting and dumping This device is essential for working when people are present near the load (optional). 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.
MX U500 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). By default, the safety device is activated. When the user presses the button in the driver's seat (3) (secure...
20. Interference L40 – BR15 If your loader is hitched to an L40 or BR15 implement, check that there is no interference at the lower crank when dumping. NOTE: In there is any interference, please contact the after-sales service team. 21.

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.
Every month, or more often with heavy use, check: — The condition of the loader's pivot points. As required, replace wear bushes and/or the pins. — The wear rings must be replaced if they are less than 1 mm thick. —...
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.
Page 47
High-tech MX product components and electrical and electronic equipment: — Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) present in MX products will be removed and then disposed of via approved channels for recovery. Recycling of decontaminated MX products — Decontaminated MX products will be sent to approved iron and metal recycling channels.
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, …).
