Testing the Safety Interlock System
Before exiting the machine, check the safety interlock system for proper opera-
tion:
Restraint Bar
With the engine running, raise the restraint bar. Test each of the controls. There
should be no more than a slight movement of the lift arm, hitch and machine. If
there is any significant movement, troubleshoot and correct the problem immedi-
ately. Contact your dealer if necessary.
Seat Switch
With the engine off and the restraint bar lowered, unfasten the seatbelt, and lift
your weight off the seat. Try to start the engine. If the engine starts, turn off the
engine, troubleshoot and correct the problem. Contact your dealer if necessary.
ROPS/FOPS
The ROPS/FOPS (Roll-Over/Falling Object Protective Structure) is designed to
provide protection for the operator from falling objects and in a tip over accident,
if the operator is secured inside the operator’s compartment by the seatbelt and
restraint bar.
Never operate the loader with the ROPS/FOPS
removed or locked back.
Parking Brake
This skid-steer loader is equipped with a
spring-applied, hydraulic-released parking
brake. The parking brake engages when
the operator lifts the restraint bar, exits the
seat or shuts off the engine. The brake can
also be applied manually by using the
switch located on the right instrument
panel. A red indicator in the switch lights
when the parking brake is applied.
Horn
On dual joystick and hand/foot loaders, pressing the right button on the left con-
trol handle sounds the horn. On T-bar loaders, pressing the bottom button on the
left control handle sounds the horn.
