Restraint Bar Replacement
1 Lower the liftarms and park the loader on a level sur-
face. Shut off the engine.
2 Remove the nut from the upper gas spring pivot ball.
(fig. C1105, C3573) Remove the mount and gas spring
together allowing the restraint bar to lower.
3 Remove the 2 restraint bar mounting nuts. (fig.
C1104) There is one on either side of the restraint bar.
4 Squeeze the restraint bar ends inward and remove
each side from it’s pivot / mounting bolt. Use caution, do
not damage the safety switch located to the right rear of
the restraint bar.
5 Replace the restraint bar in the reverse order. Use
new lock nuts on the restraint bar mounts. Tighten to
remove slack between the restraint bar and spacer bush-
ings. Do not over tighten. The restraint bar should cycle
freely up and down without binding.
6 Re- attach the upper ball pivot mount to the restraint
bar. Cycle the restraint bar to check proper operation.
7 Check to make sure the safety switch is contacting
the restraint bar, and functioning properly. This safety
switch activates the parking brake when the engine is
operating, the operator is seated with the seat belt fas-
tened, and the restraint bar is in the raised position.
Lower the restraint bar to release the parking brake.
