What's this lever do?

What does this lever do? It's on a LA463 FEL mounted on a L2800.
It dosen't seem to move very well. Obviously, I'm talking about the small lever on the top of the shroud for the loader control.
TIA

That is a safety lock to prevent the control lever from being moved.

Thanks, I knew someone would know.
