Abstract
A lock valve switching section switches a lock valve from a locked state to a released state when a lock member is switched from a locked position to a release position. An erroneous operation monitoring section maintains the lock valve in the released state when the pilot pressure is equal to or more than a predetermined pressure when elapsed time, which is from a point in time where the lock member is switched from the locked position to the release position, is equal to or more than the predetermined time. The erroneous operation monitoring section switches the lock valve to the locked state when the pilot pressure is equal to or more than the predetermined pressure when the elapsed time is less than the predetermined time.
