Objective:
To understand and know how to prevent the dangers associated with the skid-steers and loaders.
Background:
Circle the machine to check for bystanders and to ensure that the lift arms are lowered or restrained by
a lift arm restraint device. When getting on or off, face the machine and use the grab handles as contact
points. Do not use steering or control levers as a hand hold. Never jump on or off the machine. Never
attempt to mount or dismount a moving machine. Know the exact starting procedure for your machine
(consult manufacturer's manual). Start the engine from the operator's seat only. Operators do not start
the engine when dismounted.
