1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
—
PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) must be worn (please refer to the "PPE table").
—
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" chapter).
—
Before use, the operator should be sure that the loader-tractor unit and the implement-loader unit are compatible.
They should refer to the MX price list in force with their dealer.
—
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" chapter).
—
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" chapter). 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 the EN 12525 + A2 2010 standard, 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.
—
For all operations on the machine, pay attention to the risks of crushing or pinching, especially with moving parts.
—
For all interventions 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 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.
- Inspect and clean sectors where different materials can accumulate, especially around the engine and the exhaust area.
