ABSTRACT:
A front end loader in the form of a skid-steer loader which includes a power operated working implement and control apparatus that has a plurality of operative positions for supplying power to the working implement and at least one neutral position where power cannot be supplied to the working implement. The control apparatus is capable of being manipulated by the operator of the loader to place the control apparatus in any one of the selected operative positions or the neutral position. An operator restraint member has two ends and is pivotally mounted on the skid-steer loader at one of its ends. The restraint member is swingably movable between an engaged position for securing the operator to the operator position during rough ride conditions and a disengaged position to permit the operator to enter or leave the loader. A latch is provided to selectively secure the restraint bar in the engaged position. A locking assembly is engaged with the control apparatus when the restraint member is in its disengaged position and is disengaged from the control apparatus when the restraint member is in its engaged position.
