SAFETY REGULATIONS
— The tractor/loader/linkage assembly must only be driven by someone who is trained and experienced.
—
When the tractor is fitted with a front linkage and loader, the user has to unhitch the loader before to using the MX front linkage (please see the loader
instruction book for the unhitching proceedure).
—
CAUTION: before using of the front loader, please check the front linkage is locked (with the hydraulic tap), and the arms are folded or removed (see chapter
"folded arms position").
—
Control the front linkage only from the driver’s seat, or from the external remote control supplied by MX. Do not let go of the controls until the movements
are complete.
—
The controls for operating the front linkage must be of the "continued action" type with the exception of the lift floating position which can be maintained
in its position by a notching system.
—
Do not leave the seat before locking the controls to prevent any movement.
—
It is compulsory to ensure that nobody is in the area while the front linkage and tractor are in use.
—
The transport or elevation of persons using the front linkage is forbidden..
—
Before moving with a front implement fitted, check and ensure that the tractor-front implement assembly is stable by fitting a counter weight at the rear of
the tractor. This should provide 20% of the gross weight (tractor-front implement) on the rear axle of the tractor for driving and working in the best
safety conditions.
—
The maximum front axle safe load provided by the tractor’s manufacturer must not be exceeded.
—
The front tyres maximum safe load provided by the tyres’s manufacturer must not be exceeded.
— Check regularly tyres pressure.
—
An implement hitched to the front linkage must be able to be lifted through the full range of linkage’s movement. Any excess load preventing this movement
is strictly forbidden.
—
Before moving, the user must ensure that the front linkage is in good working order and can be used safely.
—
When driving on the road with a front implement, the front linkage must always be in a raised position and the road regulations must be respected
(dimensions, signalling on implement, etc.).
—
When driving on the road without a front implement, the front linkage must be set to the transport position (see section "Setting the front linkage to transport
position").
—
Whenever the tractor is stopped for a short or long time, the engine must be switched off and the linkage lowered.
—
The tractor must never be towed from an anchoring point on the front linkage.
—
Regularly check the presence of safety pins and bolts. Do not replace with any other object such as nails, wire, etc.
—
Any activity relating to defect investigation (diagnosis) and / or disassembly of parts may only be undertaken by an accredited professional who shall
assure his safety and the protection of the environment in which the actvity is conducted.
Caution!
—
The front linkage’s hydraulic circuit is designed to have a maximum service pressure of 200 bar.
—
Never modify the hose connections
—
The assembly of an MX front linkage which excludes the recommendations in the MX price list in force at the purchase date, cancels the MX guarantee
on all the equipment supplied.
—
Any modification to a section of any MX equipment (rams, arms, pivot frame, etc.) or the use of an implement or element installed on the MX front linkage
from foreign origin, cancels the MX guarantee for all equipment supplied.
—
Use only MX original spare parts. Do not modify your MX Front linkage yourself or have another person modify them, without prior written agreement from
MX. Failure to respect these regulations may make the Front linkage dangerous. MX will disclaim all responsibility in the event of damage or injury.
—
The guarantee is immediately invalid when the instructions for use, and the MX Front linkage maintenance schedule outlined in the "User Manual" are
not observed.
