Loader Safety Tips From Kubota 

• Never walk or work under a raised loader.
• Raise and lower loader arms slowly and steadily.
• Always carry loads as low to the ground as possible and watch for obstructions.
• Before raising the loader to full height, make sure the tractor is on level ground; if not, it may tip over — even if the tractor is not moving.
• Allow for the extra length of the loader when making turns.
• Be careful when handling loose or shiftable loads.
• Never move or swing a load with people in the work area.
• Be extremely careful when backfilling. The total weight of the material plus that of the tractor and loader could cause the trench wall to collapse.
• Avoid undercutting high banks. If you must do it, watch for such hazards as falling rocks and cave-ins.
• Stay away from the edges when working along banks and slopes.
• Watch for overhead or underground wires and obstacles when you use the loader.
• Never lift or carry people in the bucket.
