The user must read and understand this manual before first use. — Any use that is not intended by the manufacturer is considered improper use and therefore constitutes misuse. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for any resulting damage. — The safety information given in this manual does not replace safety codes, insurance requirements, local, state, or federal laws.
— To ensure safe operation of the MX loader, the tractor must be equipped with a cab or 4-post rollbar guard against falling objects. Caution: the protection must be in the functional position during operation. If the tractor is only equipped with a rollbar, please refer to the chapter entitled “Loader use limits on a tractor without a cab or 4-post roll bar”.
— For all work at height on the machine, use stable and secured means. Stop the tractor engine if the loader is hitched to the tractor. — Keep the tractor-loader unit clean to avoid the risk of fire. Ensure that airborne particles (straw, grass, wood shavings, etc.) do not accumulate in areas which reach high temperatures.
PPE Table (Personal Protective Equipment) Symbolic Meaning Example of risk Cuts, trapped fingers when unlocking the Hand protection equipment must be worn. implement on the loader. Ear protection must be worn. Bucket shake with cab-less tractor. Eye protection must be worn. Splattering during high-pressure cleaning.
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.

MX C2, C3, C4 loaders 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.
4. 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...
5. 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.
6.2.1 Handle setting * To ensure comfortable control of the loader, the handle's position can be adjusted. NOTE: * only for control on MX C1 or C1s (if tractor with cab), C2, C3 and C4 loaders. 6.2.2 Safety To prevent any unwanted control of the loader, the MX monolever can be locked.
