A new seat swivel locking pin needs to be installed to prevent seats from unlatching on certain 416C, 426C, 428C, 436C and 438C Backhoe Loaders. The normal flexing of the seat swivel may cause the locking pin to disengage and allow the seat to swivel. To prevent this unwanted disengagement a new 1345492 Locking Pin needs to be installed.
