Safety Features – Mini Track Loaders
One operator and a Bobcat® mini track loader can be a very productive combination in many jobsite applications. Among the attributes that make the machine so valuable are several standard built-in safety features. They include:
Lift and Tilt Function Lockouts
The function lockouts deactivate the lift and tilt functions when the engine is off. A manual lift arm bypass control allows the lift arms to be lowered when the engine is off.
Attachment Shutdown System
MT100 Only
Stepping off the continuous flow shutoff pedal disengages hydraulic flow to the attachment and stops any attachment motion. The pedal must be released to start the engine.
Reverse-Travel Stop Panel
MT55 Only
Push the panel, which is located on the back of the MT55, and the drive control will return to neutral, stopping the machine and preventing it from moving backward.
Neutral Start Interlocks
The engine will not start if the drive/steering control, lift arm control or the auxiliary hydraulic control lever are engaged.
Parking Brake
Use whenever the loader is stopped.
Lift-Arm Supports
Prevent the lift arms from being lowered accidentally when servicing the loader with the lift arms raised.
