  5. 1 seat and 1 seat belt = 1 operator Lower safety restraint bar and fasten seat belt every time! Be sure surrounding area is clear of people, animals, etc. Don’t work around overhead utility lines Lower load bucket for travel Use slow speeds on rough ground Don’t overload bucket! Exceeding capacity may result in serious accidents! When moving up a slope, keep heaviest weight up hill. With empty bucket, back up the hill; with full bucket, drive forward up hill Avoid crossing steep slopes Avoid ditches and stream banks to prevent overturns Lower boom and bucket, stop engine, set brake before getting off machine Do not reach outside of cab while skid steer is running Skid Steer Safety

  9. Safe Utility Vehicle Use • No operator younger than 16 • More cargo = center of gravity raised • Secure load from shifting sideways • Avoid steep slopes • Reduce speed on rough terrain • Second rider in passenger seat only • Don’t drive in ditches/embankments • Use tractor, skid steer,loader, and ATV skillsto drive utility vehicle http://www.e-kmi.com/Archives/pre050105/clubcar_0603.JPG
