Automatic Parking Brake
(Fig. 5-6)
This skid loader is equipped with a spring applied
hydraulic release parking brake. The parking brake
engages when the operator lifts the restraint bar, leaves
the operator’s seat, and/or shuts the engine off. The
brake can also be applied manually using the switch
located on the left control panel of the ROPS. The red
indicator on the switch lights up when the parking brake
is applied.
Operator Restraint Bar
(Fig. 5-7)
The operator restraint bar is securely anchored to the
ROPS. The restraint bar switch is wired in series with
the seat switch forming an interlock for the lift arm, tilt,
drive and starter circuits (refer to the “Interlock System”
topic in this chapter for more information).
Lower the restraint bar after entering the operator’s
compartment. Used in conjunction with the seat belt, the
restraint bar serves to keep you in the operator’s
compartment. For operator comfort and convenience,
the restraint bar is padded for use as an arm rest while
operating the loader.
WARNING
NEVER defeat the operator restraint bar or seat
switch electrically or mechanically, and
ALWAYS wear your seat belt.
Seat Positioning (Fig. 5-7)
The loader seat is mounted on rails for backward or
forward repositioning to accommodate the operator’s
size and comfort. A spring-loaded latch handle activates
the seat adjustment mechanism.
Suspension Seat (Optional): A 3-position back-angle
adjustment bar and a weight adjustment knob are
provided with this seat for operator comfort.
