Editing Skid-steer loader (section)

====Loader arm safety precautions==== 
When controls are activated, the loader or lift arm attachments can move and crush individuals who are within the range of the machinery. To prevent injuries, it is strongly advisable for operators to not start or operate controls from outside of the cab. When in the operator’s seat, the operator should always fasten the seatbelt and lower the safety bar to stay securely in the cab and avoid being crushed.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Ebert |first1=Kerri |url=https://www.osha.gov/sites/default/files/2019-03/skid_steer_loader_safety.pdf |title=Skid Steer Loader Safety |last2=Ricketts |first2=Mitch |last3=Lind |first3=Sarah |publisher=K-State Research and Extension |year=2006 |location=Manhattan, Kansas |page=14 |language=English}}</ref> Operators should also ensure that any helpers or bystanders are clear of the machine before starting it.
