Machine Starts / Hydraulics & Drive Locked Out

Diagnosis & fix steps

LOGIC: Hydraulic Lockout Solenoid Circuit Open or Ground Short. ACTION: Inspect the hydraulic lock solenoid on the pilot supply block under the cab. Measure coil resistance (~24Ω); check operator seat switch and pull-down safety lap bar proximity switch continuity.

Red Seal field insights

Armrest Proximity Drift: Vibrations loosen the magnetic lap bar safety switch mounting nuts; the sensor drifts out of alignment, preventing the ECU from energizing the pilot unloader valve.
