2 CONTROLS
In the up position, the seat bar automatically centers the
steering controls in neutral.
To lower the seat bar, place both hands over the latch,
release handles and lift the seat bar slightly (Fig. 2. 3B).
Squeeze the latch handles and pull down on the seat bar.
Pull the seat bar down beyond the locking point and
release the latch handles. Completely lower the seat bar to
operating position.
When down, the seat bar releases the park brake. (Fig. 2.
3C).
2. 4 PARKING BRAKE
The loader is equipped as standard equipment with a
parking brake. The brakes are built into the loader chain
drive, and are activated and released when the seat bar is
raised or lowered.
To engage the parking brake, raise the seat bar (Fig 2. 4B).
The brakes should not be engaged while the loader is in
motion or damage occurs to the brake mechanism. To
release the parking brake, simply lower the seat bar (Fig 2.
4A). Should the brake not release, simply move the
control lever slightly forward or rearward to free the lock
mechanism.
