• Description:
  Big farm equipment is fascinating to children, but adults have to resist the temptation to use them for entertainment or recreation. Only use a front-end loader for its intended work purpose. Never allow a person to ride in the loader, bucket or attachments. Do not lift people in the bucket for any reason. Keep the bucket low during travel. Watch for overhead clearance when the bucket is raised. Do not walk or work under a raised loader. Operate the front-end loader slowly and cautiously. [Description provided by NIOSH]
