ABSTRACT:
A vehicle is provided with a control lever which is mounted in a vehicle cab so as to be incorporated in a housing supporting the left arm rest of the operator seat. The control lever is of a type movable among various positions for actuating hydraulic valves for controlling equipment attached to the vehicle and a normal neutral position for neutralizing the control valves. Fixed to the control lever is a pin which projects vertically when the lever is in its neutral position and a vertically swingable latch member is biased towards a latched position wherein it receives the vertical pin and holds the control lever in its neutral position. The latch member includes a pin which extends crosswise to the axis of and below the pivot of the latch member at a location whereat it is engageable by a bumper carried by the door when the door is closed so as to move the latch member upwardly to a deactivated position permitting the control lever to be operated when the vehicle door is closed.
