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

Never operate equipment from outside the cab.

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