The loader is a complex machine. The operator must read this manual before using the machine for the first time. Familiarise yourself with: — — — — The safety instructions, Hitching and unhitching the loader, Hitching and unhitching work implements, Full use of the controls.
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.
1.2 LOADER USE LIMITS ON A TRACTOR WITH A ROLL CAGE WITH 2 UPRIGHTS Additional information for a tractor fitted with a roll cage with two uprights. 1.2.1 Warning If the tractor is not fitted with a falling object protective structure or a roll-over protective structure with four uprights (tractor with roll cage with 2 uprights), the driver is exposed to a permanent risk when handling loads. Reminder: only implements recommended by the MX loader manufacturer may be used. 1.2.
2. SAFETY STICKERS Safety stickers are affixed to the loaders. Make sure these stickers are clean and legible; replace them if damaged.
— MX 30C+ 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. Handling above people is prohibited. It is prohibited to use the loader and its implements for any other purposes than handling the materials it was designed for.
3. IDENTIFICATION PLATE The identification plate is located inside the loader’s left arm. 19, rue de Rennes F - 35690 ACIGNÉ Désignation/ Designation Type / Model / Typ Poids à vide Unloaded weight / Leergewicht Année / Year kg 328462 N˚ de série Serial number Seriennummer The serial number and loader model shown on this plate must be quoted in any request for spare parts information or technical assistance. 4.
5. CONTROL Reminder: Never leave the tractor with the loader lifted. Every control valve with spool generates an internal leak required for proper operation. 5.1 Control with the tractor’s control valves Refer to the user manual for the tractor. 5.2 5.2.1 Control with the MX control valve Handle setting * To ensure comfortable control of the loader, the handle’s position can be adjusted. * only for control on MX C2 (if tractor with cab), C3 and 30C+ loaders. 5.2.
5.2.3 Movements Y X First function: along "Y" axis — Forwards = loader lowered (Double action of the hydraulic ram). — Forwards after notch = floating position (Single action of the hydraulic ram). — Backwards = loader raised. Second function: along "X" axis — To the left = implement crowding. — To the right = implement dumping. Y X 3rd function: Direct control: Equipment available on C1 and C2 loaders. 1 — Button (1): grab opening, for example. — Button (2): grab closing, for example.
6. LOADER UNHITCHING This operation must be carried out by the driver who must leave the seat and ensure all manoeuvres are forbidden while he is working on the loader. The loader must always be hitched to an implement for unhitching. — Choose a level and solid surface. — Put the implement on the ground slightly dumped (approx. 20°). — Install any parking stands.
— Remove the locking pins from the frame and put them into the open holes. MX C1, C2 MX C3u, C3, C3+ MX 30C+ — Lower in double action to retract the lifting rams. Crowd slightly to set down the parking stands. — Crowd slightly by moving forwards to release the bracket frames. — Apply the hand brake. Stop the engine.
— Fully decompress all the hydraulic circuits. — Close the valve and disconnect the hydraulic couplings. — Install protection caps (clean) on the male and female couplings. Stow the hoses on the loader. — Reverse the tractor slowly, to clear the loader from the bracket.
7. LOADER HITCHING — Advance the tractor slowly so that the bracket is approx. 5 cm behind the frames. — Apply the hand brake. Stop the engine. — Fully decompress all the hydraulic circuits. — Connect the hydraulic couplings and follow the colours. — Open the valve.
— Dump the implement to lift the front of the loader: by pivoting, the frames fit into the bracket yokes. — Lift the loader 0.3 m above the ground. 0.3 m — Lock the loader frame onto the bracket with the spindles and safety pins. MX C1, C2 MX C3u, C3, C3+ MX 30C+ — Stow the parking stands.
8. IMPLEMENT UNHITCHING - MX C3, C3+, 30C+ LOADERS This operation must be carried out by the driver who must leave the seat and ensure all manoeuvres are forbidden while he is working on the loader. — Select a stable parking area. — Lower the implement horizontally 0.3 m above the ground. — Apply the hand brake. Stop the engine. 0.3 m — Stand on the left side of the loader. — Pull the handle fully towards you, then move it backwards to lock it, springs compressed.
— Start up the tractor, then lower the loader by dumping. When the implement touches the ground, reverse slightly in line and continue to lower the loader. 9. IMPLEMENT HITCHING - MX C3, C3+, 30C+ LOADERS This operation must be carried out by the driver who must leave the seat and ensure all manoeuvres are forbidden while he is working on the loader. — Make sure that the unlocking lever is in "HITCHING" position: spindles in, springs compressed.
— MX C3, C3+ loaders Fit the rounds of the hitching frame into the hooks of the implement. Lift the loader: locking is automatic. Caution - crush hazard! Do not put your hands near the implement detector - risk of locking. — MX 30C+ loader Fit the rounds of the hitching frame into the hooks of the implement. Crowd to maximum and continue to advance until the locking lever trips.
10. IMPLEMENT UNHITCHING / HITCHING - MX C1, C2, C3u LOADERS 10.1 Implement unhitching — Select a stable parking area. — Lower the implement to the ground. — Remove the safety pins, then the dumping-implement ram link pins (1). — Remove the safety pins, then the boom-implement link pins (2). 1 2 10.2 Implement hitching — Mount the boom-implement link pins, then the safety pins (1). — Mount the dumping ram link pins, then the safety pins (2). Adjust the ram rod extensions as required. 2 1 11.
12. 3rd FUNCTION * Positioned on the loader cross-bar, the two front couplings enable the hydraulic supply of a grab or other implement requiring double acting operation. MX C1, C2 For easier connection-disconnection, stop the engine and decompress the 3rd function hydraulic circuit. MX C3u, C3, C3+ MX 30C+ 13. MACH 2 * The MACH 2 (optional) enables effortless once-only connection of the implement’s hydraulic functions. MX C3u, C3, C3+ The MACH 2 kit includes the hoses for supplying MX implements.
14. SHOCK ELIMINATOR * Shocks are eliminated during movement or when stopping the loader quickly when lowering. MX C3u, C3, C3+ — Supension on (1). — Supension off (2). 2 1 MX 30C+ 1 2 * Depending on configuration 15. LOADER MAINTENANCE Drain the tractor’s hydraulic circuit regularly and change the filters following the manufacturer’s recommendation. Polluted oil stops lubricating, and wears all the hydraulic components (pumps, control valves, rams). Even clear oil can be overused.
Lubricate every 10 hours and after each wash (water drives grease out) and particularly after washing with a pressure washer. See lubrication points opposite. MX C1, C2 MX C3+ MX 30C+ 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. Wear bushes must be replaced if they are less than 1 mm thick. — The level of the tractor’s hydraulic oil and the sealing of the hydraulic circuit.
16. SAFETY WHILE LIFTING * If the loader is used for any lifting operations requiring the presence of persons near the load when the loader is in raised position, the hydraulic circuit of the lifting arms must be fitted with a safety device. This in compliance with standard EN 12525 + A2 2010. * Depending on configuration 17. USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS — Each implement has been designed for a specific use and has its own resistance limits. — Land clearing and stump pulling are prohibited.
