Operator’s Seat
The seat is mounted on rails for backward
or forward repositioning. A spring-loaded
latch handle activates the seat adjustment
mechanism.
Suspension seat (optional): A weight
adjustment knob is provided with this
seat for operator comfort.
Upper-Torso Restraint
ALWAYS wear the upper-torso restraint when
operating skid-steer.
The seat belt should always be fastened during operation.
Important: Inspect the seat belt(s) for damage before use, and replace if dam-
aged. Keep seatbelt(s) clean. Use only soap and water to wash seat belt(s).
Cleaning solvents can cause damage to seatbelt(s).
Safety Interlock System
NEVER defeat the safety interlock system by
mechanically or electrically bypassing any
switches, relays or solenoid valves.
An interlock system is used on the loader for operator safety. Together with
solenoid valves, switches and relays, the interlock system:
¾ Prevents the engine from starting unless the operator is sitting on the seat and
the operator restraint bar is down.
¾ Disables the lift arm, attachment tilt and wheel drives when the operator
leaves the seat, turns the keyswitch to OFF or raises the restraint bar.
¾ Disables auxiliary hydraulic system when the restraint bar is raised or the
keyswitch is OFF.
Testing the Safety Interlock System
Before leaving a parked machine, check the safety interlock system for proper
operation:
