DANGER
Risk of crushing - Going under the loader boom or an attachment can cause
serious injury or death.
Never go under the loader boom and prevent others from
getting near lifted boom or attachment. Going under a raised attachment or loader boom
is dangerous, as the boom may lower due to loss of stability, mechanical fault or when
other person operates the controls of the loader. Lower the attachment firmly on the
ground to a safe position before leaving the driver’s seat.
Keep in mind that the loader boom can be lowered or tilted even if the engine has been
shut down (crushing hazard). The loader is not intended to be left to keep a load elevated
for longer periods. Always lower the attachment to a safe position before leaving the
driver's seat.
