How to Troubleshoot Lift Hydraulics Without Seat Sensor - Bobcat 763

Question:

How to bypass the seat sensor to restore lift hydraulics when there is no seat or lift light on the panel?

Top Replies

By-passing the seat sensor with jumper wires is not possible, as it operates on a Hall Effect circuit that requires a specific reference voltage input and output. Bobcat used to provide a kit for removing the seat sensor on older C and F series machines. If your seat sliders are still functioning properly, you can either opt for the kit or replace the seat sensor. Ensure there are no obstructions under the seat that could affect sensor engagement.

If you're looking for a seatswitch bypass kit, Bobcat still offers them for purchase. When installing the kit, make sure to properly disconnect the seat switch for optimal functionality.

crewchief888 confirmed that the seatswitch bypass kit is still being offered by Bobcat. It's good to be aware of this, as it is a question that comes up from time to time.
