STOPPING THE BOBCAT LOADER
Using The Steering Levers or Joysticks
When the steering levers or joysticks are moved to the
neutral position, the hydrostatic transmission will act as a
service brake to stop the loader.
SEAT BAR RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Operation
Figure 27
The seat bar restraint system has a pivoting seat bar with
arm rests (1) [Figure 27].
The operator controls the use of the seat bar. The seat
bar in the down position helps to keep the operator in the
seat.

When operating the machine:
•
Keep the seat belt fastened snugly.
•
The seat bar must be lowered.
•
Keep your feet on the pedal controls or footrests
and hands on steering levers.

When the seat bar is down, the PRESS TO OPERATE
LOADER button is activated, and the brake is released,
the lift, tilt, and traction drive functions can be operated.
(Traction drive will operate only when the engine is
running.)
When the seat bar is up, the lift, tilt and traction drive
functions are deactivated and both foot pedals (if
equipped) will be locked.

•
Lower the lift arms, put the attachment flat on the
ground.
•

tilt control functions when the seat bar is up.
Service the system if hand controls do not
deactivate.
•

joysticks to the NEUTRAL POSITION to make
sure that travel and hydraulic functions are
deactivated.
The seat bar system must deactivate these
functions when the seat bar is up. Service the
