controls are locked. Need help. Is there a seat safety switch in the KX121-3?

KX121 · Apr 10, 2017

I really need advice here! My Kx121-3 is locked up on a jobsite. I pulled the lever up on the left as always to get out of the cab and my shirt caught the lock lever and pulled it down. I got back in, pulled lever up, then down to engage, and controls are LOCKED. Engine runs, turns on/off fine, etc. The lock lever is only recognized as being in the locked (UP) position no matter if it's up or down.

Contact Dealer.... is the only thing I can think of.

You may have bumped one of the interlock switches out of line when catching the shirt. On my BX I was amazed by the flimsy way some of them are installed. Had several get out of line over 1500 Hrs.

On my 6530 there is a pin on the side of the joystick.

On a friend's 4052 JD it's on the side, just below the mid point where your right leg would be when sitting in the seat.

Got an owner's/operator's manual. Should call it out in there.
