2. 4 SEAT BAR
For operator protection the loader is equipped with a seat
bar.
The loader must be started with the operator seated in the
loader and the seat bar in the up position. To raise the seat
bar, lift up on the bar (Fig. 2.3A). In the up position, the
seat bar activates the parking brake.
When down (Fig. 2.3B), the seat bar releases the park
brake and the hydraulic controls of the lift and tilt circuits.
Before exiting the loader always check the controls by
cycling them to ensure that they are in the neutral position.
2. CONTROLS
To avoid personal injury,
lower the lift arms, shut off
the engine, raise the seat bar
and cycle the hydraulics to
ensure they are locked. Then,
unlatch the seat belt and exit
the loader. Do not enter or
exit with the engine running
unless as specified in this
manual or under specific
service and backhoe
operating procedures.
