o true
o false

Explanation:

• Question 1: Safety is a top priority when operating machinery. Putting on the seatbelt is a fundamental safety measure to protect the operator in case of sudden movements or accidents. Looking around for things in the way is also important but is usually done before climbing into the skid - loader. Checking the fuel is a pre - operation check but not the first thing upon climbing in.
• Question 8: Even if the lift arms are raised and the attachment is tilted forward, there is still a risk of the lift arms moving (due to hydraulic leaks, for example). One should never work under the lift arms without proper support (like safety stands).
• Question 9: Operating the loader's controls from outside the cab is extremely dangerous as the operator has no protection and may not have a clear view of all potential hazards.

Answer:

• Question 1: C. Put on the seatbelt
• Question 8: False
• Question 9: True
