Safety precautions

[MATTYZ426F]

Had my case 75xt running Sunday but it wouldn't move so I had the cab up, bucket down and was trying to push the seat forward and it kept hitting the controller. I reached over bucket arm and in-between cab to move controller over so I could push seat up! Dumb move on my part, bucket arm came up and pinched my arm between the cab. I was lucky.
I thought with safety bar up and seat up along with cab the controllers were inactive!?? Guess not

sounds like switches may be bypassed

I'll have to check into this. Thanks

Pretty sure those have arm and bucket spool lockout solenoids like the 400 series. Those solenoids can fail, but if they do, they fail in the locked out position i.e. the arms or bucket cannot be moved. If they are in good working order but not receiving power they will also be in the lock position. Given your sequence of events I suspect those solenoids are missing in action or have been disconnected and modified to be always unlocked.

I'll have to check my owners manual, I did buy it used. Came close to breaking my arm and won't be doing that dummy move again
