Safety Information

DANGER

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  

Do not get pinned in the loader lift arms. Getting pinned in 

the loader arms is one of the leading cause of fatal 
accidents.

Do not go near or under raised loader arms without first 

securing loader arms in the raised position with an 
approved lift-arm support.

Keep your head, arms, and legs inside the cab while 

operating the power machine. Any extremity extended 
outside the cab can be crushed by the loader arms and 
attachment.

Never operate equipment from outside the cab.

Use the skid steer’s alternate emergency exit when exit 

passage through the front is blocked.

Do not use hand or foot controls for handholds or steps. 

Using them for handholds or steps can activate the controls.

Keep mud, snow, ice, and debris out of foot controls.

If included, raise restraint bar and move controls until both 

are locked and interlock system is activated.

Inspect interlock control system regularly and perform 

required maintenance to keep it operating properly.

Never bypass or modify a safety device.

Keep attachment, loader arms, and/or load away from 

overhead electrical power lines. Place an orange warning 
sign under overhead lines indicating type of danger above.

Do not allow bystanders to be near the attachment, loader 

arms, or power machine during operation. They can be hit 
by falling objects, entangled in the equipment, ran over, etc.
