While operating a skidsteer the equipment overheated. The employee exited the equipment to inspect the issue and while the engine compartment was open the radiator overflow line had whipped up and a burst of hot coolant came out hitting their hands. The overflow hose was not secured in place due to the mounting brackets being on the wrong side of the radiator frame.
