NEUTRAL LOCK

tion selector or the rear axle.

On Rear Axle

To operate:
Position direction selector lever between 'F' and 'R'. Turn
key switch to 'OFF'. Rotate pin on rear axle shift lever as
shown (Ref. Fig. 13 on page 10). The pin will snap into a
cavity in the differential case. When in this position, the
direction selector remains locked in the neutral position.
To unlock the direction selector, pull the pin out and
rotate until the pointed portion of the pin handle fits into
the detent position in the rear axle shift lever.

To operate:
Turn key switch to 'OFF' and lift seat. Pull out and rotate
the neutral lock pin handle so that the pointed portion of
the handle is to the side of the direction selector cam
(Ref. Fig. 14 on page 10). Move direction selector
towards the area between 'F' and 'R'. During that motion,
the pin will snap into the hole in the direction selector
mounting bracket preventing any movement. When in
this position, the direction selector remains locked in the
neutral position. To unlock the direction selector, pull the
neutral lock pin handle out and rotate until the pointed
portion of the handle fits into the hole in the direction
