Ensure that all safety shielding, and safety signs are properly installed and in good condition. Maintenance Safety Good maintenance is your responsibility. Poor maintenance is an invitation to trouble. Follow good shop practices.
Wear proper hand and eye protection when searching for a high-pressure hydraulic leak. Use a piece of wood or cardboard as a backstop instead of hands to isolate and identify a leak. If injured by a concentrated high-pressure stream of hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention immediately. Serious infection or toxic reaction can develop from hydraulic fluid piercing the skin surface.

Operate at a safe slow-paced speed that will allow you to watch the area ahead and behind the attachment & loader. Since about half of your duty cycle may be in reverse, look behind you and/or utilize your mirrors when backing up. Verify that your backup alarm is working properly to warn others when you are in reverse, but never think that the alarm replaces your responsibility to visually check what’s behind you.
11. Be careful that a branch or root doesn’t “whip” back at the skid steer. Wear safety glasses to prevent dirt getting in your eyes. WARNING! Use extreme caution when working around low hanging electrical lines. Do not raise the attachment in an area where there are low electrical lines to prevent an accident that could result in Death or Serious Injury.
WARNING! Hazardous dust can be generated if painted surfaces are heated or welded and could result in death or Serious Injury. Remove paint before welding and always make repairs in a well-ventilated area and wear an approved respirator. CAUTION! Cutting edges can be very heavy and could cause Minor or Serious Injury if mishandled. Always wear protective gloves and footwear.
