An operator restraint member having two ends is pivotally mounted at each end to a skid-steer loader. The restraint member has an engaged position for securing the operator to the operator position during operation of the loader and a disengaged position to permit the operator to enter or leave the loader. A friction device is connected to one end of the restraint member to retain the restraint member in the rotative position selected by the operator until repositioned. An automatic lock-quick release latch is connected to the other end of the restraint member for selectively locking the seat bar in its engaged position. A locking assembly is engaged with the control apparatus when the restraint member is in its disengaged position and undergoes pivotal movement to become disengaged from the control apparatus when the restraint member is in its engaged position.
