When the seat bar is down, the engine is running, the
PRESS TO OPERATE LOADER button is activated, and

functions
can be operated.
When the seat bar is raised, the lift, tilt and traction drive
f
unctions are deactivated and both foot pedals (if
equipped) will be locked when returned to NEUTRAL
position.
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
Before you leave the operator’s seat:
• Lower the lift arms and put the attachment flat on
the ground.
• Stop the engine.
• Engage the parking brake.
• Raise the seat bar.
• Move all controls to the NEUTRAL / LOCKED

drive functions are deactivated.
The seat bar system must deactivate these functions
when the seat bar is up. See your Bobcat dealer for
service if controls do not deactivate.
