3.11.1Shifter/ParkingBrakeSafety
The following safety features are provided:
• The foot throttle will only function when the parking brake is in the OFF/DOWN position.
• The hand throttle (knob or push button) will only function when the parking brake is in the
ON/UP position AND the shifter is in neutral.
• The conveyor belt will only function when the parking brake is in the ON/UP position AND
the shifter is in neutral.
• The engine is automatically returned to idle speed when either the parking brake is
placed in the OFF/DOWN position OR if the shifter is placed into FWD or REV.
• OPTIONAL: Conveyor will not raise or lower unless the shifter is in neutral AND the
parking brake is in the ON/UP position.
3.11.2ShifterGuard
Integral with the right-hand side of the Instrument Panel, the Shifter Guard prevents cargo falling
off the conveyor belt, knocking the belt loader unintentionally into gear.
3.11.3NeutralSafetyStartSwitch
The Neutral Safety Start Switch is located in the shifter / throttle assembly and is wired between
the ignition and the starter. The Neutral Safety Start Switch closes when the shifter is in the NEU-
TRAL position, allowing the starter to engage. If the shifter is in the FORWARD or REVERSE
position, the Neutral Safety Start Switch is open and the starter will not engage.
3.11.4Anti-RestartIgnitionSwitch
The Anti-Restart Ignition Switch prevents starter engagement while the engine is running. To
engage the starter, the Anti-Restart Ignition Switch must be turned to the OFF position and then
turned to the START position. The starter cannot be engaged from the START position without
first cycling through the OFF position.
