If it works anything like the lawnmower my step-dad had, then it is quite simple really.
The seat is hinged at the front and rests on springs in the back. To operate the machinery, an operator needs to be in the seat which would cause a metal tab (contact?) mounted to the bottom of the seat to connect with one mounted on the frame below the seat and complete the dead-man/kill circuit, allowing the machine to operate. With no weight on the seat, the springs will lift it and break the circuit, causing the motor to shut off and brakes to engage.
Again, this is only if they work the same way my step-dad's lawnmower worked.
Hope this helps!

What else can I help you with?
What action actuates a dead mans seat brake and causes a forklift to break?
On vehicles with a "dead man's brake", there is a lanyard which attaches to the operator on one end, and to a pull-out key on the other. If the operator gets up or falls off of the equipment, the key is pulled out. This interrupts the ignition sequence, causing the vehicle to cut off.
Where is the cam that actuates parking brake on a 2004 jeep liberty?

What do you have to have in order to drive a forklift?
Typically, forklifts feature two brake pedals: a service brake and a parking brake. When the forklift is moving, the service brake pedal is utilized to reduce speed or come to a complete stop. This brake uses the hydraulic system of the forklift to provide pressure to the brake shoes or pads, slowing or stopping the vehicle. The service brake pedal functions similarly to the brake pedal on an automobile and is typically situated to the left of the accelerator pedal. On the other side, the forklift is kept in place while it is parked by the parking brake pedal. The forklift is held stationary by this mechanical brake, which operates independently of the hydraulic system and makes use of a different set of brake shoes or pads. To aid prevent unintentional activation while driving, the parking brake pedal is often placed to the right of the accelerator pedal and is frequently distinguished by its vivid colour or distinctive form. Forklift operators can control each brake independently when the service and parking brakes are on different pedals, which can increase safety and lower the likelihood of accidents. The operator can use the parking brake to stop the forklift without mistakenly using the service brake, which could put extra strain on the brake shoes or pads.
How do you add brake fluid on forklift?
Locate the brake fluid reservoir, and pour brake fluid in until it's at the appropriate level.
What are brake chambers?
On an air brake system, the brake chamber is what actuates the air brakes... it converts air pressure to mechanical force, either turning an S-cam (on foundation brakes), or actuating a caliper (on disc brakes).

Locate the brake adjustment mechanism, typically found near the brake drum or on the brake lever. Turn the adjustment screw or nut clockwise to tighten the brakes or counterclockwise to loosen them, checking the brake pedal feel as you adjust. Always test the brakes after adjustment to ensure proper function before returning the forklift to service.

To add brake fluid to a Yale forklift, locate the brake fluid reservoir, which is typically found near the operator's compartment or on the master cylinder. Remove the cap of the reservoir and check the fluid level; if it's low, add the appropriate type of brake fluid as specified in the forklift's manual. Always ensure the area is clean to prevent contamination and replace the cap securely after adding fluid.
