Abstract
A operator restraint bar for a working vehicle, specifically for a skid steer loader, is mounted on the rear wall of the cab of the loader and is movable from a restraint position to a raised position with one end adjacent the roof of the cab. The restraint bar is mounted onto brackets that are self contained and include a spring for holding the bar in either its working position or its raised position by arranging the pivot points of the bar and the spring so that they go over center between the working and raised positions. A sensor is used at the pivot for indicating when the restraint bar has reached its working position.
