Function: Tells the machine whether the operator seat is facing the loader or the backhoe, so the correct controls and drive functions are active for the direction the operator is facing
Location: Under the operator station, where the plunger is pressed as the seat swivels into position
Used In Kit: 392161A1 switch kit (also contains toggle switches, a protector, spacers and clamps — sold separately)
Weight: 0.20 lbs (0.09 kg)
Condition: Aftermarket replacement part
Common Use Case or Symptoms: Use when the backhoe won't start or won't go into gear with the seat facing forward, a seat or neutral warning light stays on, or loader or backhoe functions don't respond after the seat is swiveled — a failed seat switch sends the wrong seat-position signal to the machine.
