NEUTRAL LOCK

To prevent the driven clutch from turning the rear wheels
during service operations and to prevent wear to the belt
while being towed, a neutral lock is located on the direc-
tion selector.
To operate the neutral lock, turn the key switch to 'OFF',
place the direction selector in 'R' and remove the seat.
Pull out (1) and rotate (2) the neutral lock pin handle so
that the pointed portion of the handle is over the side of
the direction selector cam (Ref. Fig. 18). Move direction
selector lever towards the area between 'F' and 'R'. Dur-
ing that motion, the pin will snap into the hole in the direc-
tion selector mounting bracket, preventing any movement
of the lever. When in this position, the direction selector
remains locked in the neutral position.
The direction selector is a spring-loaded mech-
anism. To prevent the possibility of fingers
becoming pinched in the direction selector

mechanism, hold the direction selector lever
when releasing the neutral lock pin handle.
To activate the direction selector, pull the neutral lock pin
handle out and rotate it until the pointed portion of the
handle fits into the hole (3) in the direction selector cam.
