Abstract
A sensor for a power machine includes a seat bar which is movably coupled relative to a seat on the power machine. A magnet and a Hall effect sensor are coupled to the seat bar and to the power machine so that they are movable relative to one another based on movement of the seat bar. The seat bar is movable from a first position to a second position. The Hall effect sensor provides a position sensing signal indicating when the seat bar is in one of the first or second positions.
