NEUTRAL LOCK-OUT

For the convenience of the trained technician, there is a neutral lock-out cam located on the back of the For-

ward/Reverse handle. If the neutral lock-out cam is pulled out approximately 3/8 inch (10 mm) and then

rotated one-half turn until it snaps into place, the cam will be in the SERVICE position (Figure 8, Page 9).

This will allow the technician to operate the engine in NEUTRAL for certain maintenance procedures. With

the cam in this position, the vehicle will not operate if the Forward/Reverse handle is placed in either the

FORWARD or REVERSE position.

To put the cam back into the OPERATE position, pull the cam out approximately 3/8 inch (10 mm) and rotate

it one-half turn until it snaps into place (Figure 9, Page 9). See following WARNING and NOTE.

WARNING

• WITH THE CAM IN THE SERVICE POSITION AND THE ENGINE RUNNING, THE VEHICLE MAY

MOVE SUDDENLY IF THE FORWARD/REVERSE HANDLE IS SHIFTED OR ACCIDENTALLY

BUMPED. TO PREVENT THIS, CHOCK THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS AND ALWAYS FIRMLY

SET THE PARK BRAKE BEFORE SERVICING OR LEAVING THE VEHICLE.

NOTE

• BE SURE TO RETURN THE CAM TO THE OPERATE POSITION AFTER SERVICING THE

VEHICLE, OR IT WILL NOT OPERATE WITH THE FORWARD/REVERSE HANDLE IN EITHER

THE FORWARD OR REVERSE POSITION.

CHOKE

The choke is located on the seat support panel below and to the left of the driver's left knee (Figure 10, Page 10).

If the vehicle is hard to start in cool or cold temperatures, simply push in the choke cover with your left hand to acti-

vate it. Hold it during start up and release the choke cover after the engine starts and operates smoothly.

OIL LIGHT

The DS Gasoline golf car is equipped with a low oil warning light, located on the dash panel just above the

steering column (Figure 11, Page 10). If the oil warning light comes on, oil should be checked and added to

the engine as necessary before continuing to use the vehicle. The vehicle should never be driven with the oil

warning light remaining on. If the oil warning light goes on and off, you may proceed, but oil should be added

at the ﬁrst opportunity. If the oil level is correct and the light stays on, have a trained technician check the

vehicle. See following CAUTION.
