2. 3 SEAT BAR
For operator protection the loader is equipped with a seat
bar.
To raise the seat bar, lift up on the bar (Fig. 2. 3A). In the
up position, the seat bar activates the park brake.
Before exiting the loader always check hand control
levers by cycling them to be sure they are in the neutral
position. The loader must be started with the operator
seated in the loader and the seat bar in the up
position.When down, the seat bar releases the park brake
(Fig. 2. 3C).
2. 4 PARKING BRAKE
The loader is equipped with park brakes, located inside the
torque motor. The brakes are activated and de-activated by
the seat bar, via charge pressure. When the seat bar is in
the up position, the brake is activated (Fig. 2.3A). When
the seat bar is in the down position, the brake is off (Fig.
2.3C).
The loader has a parking brake indication light to warn that
the brake is engaged. When the seat bar is in the down
position, activation of the emergency brake
can be carried
out by pushing on the button (optional), located on the
ROPS in front of the Left Control Handle.
