1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

— Only control the loader from the control station. Keep controlling until movements stop.

— Do not leave the control station without stopping all control movements (control lever locked).

— Never leave the tractor with the loader lifted. After using the loader, park the tractor with the loader lowered to the ground.

— All persons must be kept away from the area in which the loader is moving while it is in operation. If any lifting

operations require the presence of a person near the load, the MX loader must be ﬁtted with a safety device

(see the "SAFETY WHILE LIFTING AND DUMPING" section).

— The operator must use an implement designed and recommended by MX for the work to be carried out.

— Carrying or lifting persons using the loader is forbidden.

— Ensure tractor stability by using a suitable counterweight (see the "COUNTERWEIGHT" section).

— Restrict all movements with the load lifted as he tractor may become unbalanced.

— The maximum front axle loading speciﬁed by the tractor manufacturer must not be exceeded.

— In order to limit stresses on the front axle and steering ram, and to limit tyre wear, move forwards or backwards

when steering.

— The maximum loading on the front tyres speciﬁed by the tyre manufacturer must not be exceeded.

— Check tyre pressures regularly.

— Check periodically to ensure that safety pins and bolts are in place. Do not replace them with any other items such as:

nails, wire, etc.

— For full use of the MX loader, the tractor must be ﬁtted with a falling object protective structure, or at the least a roll-over

protective structure with four uprights. If this is not the case, limit the use of the MX loader (see the "LOADER USE

LIMITS" section). Caution: the protective ﬁtting must be in active position while working.

— Watch out for overhead electricity and telephone lines, guttering, framework, etc. when moving with the loader in

raised position.

— In compliance with standard EN 12525 + A2 2010, the controls for operating the loader and implements must be

"sustained action" type except for the ﬂoating position which can be held in place by a notching system.

— 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.
