• Before Towing the Vehicle: Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position to disable all motor braking functions,
thus preventing possible damage that could occur to the vehicle or electrical components if the vehicle is towed
while the walk-away braking function is operating.
• Before Disconnecting or Connecting Battery Cables: Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position to turn
off power to the vehicle electrical system, thus preventing arcing and possible battery explosion as the battery
cables are disconnected.
• For Long Term Storage: Place the Tow/Run switch in the TOW position to turn off power to the vehicle electrical
system, thus preventing vehicle electrical components from discharging the batteries.

NEUTRAL LOCKOUT
Gasoline Vehicles
For the convenience of the trained technician, there is a neutral lockout switch located on the seat support panel
under the seat (Figure 16). The neutral lockout switch has two positions, MAINTENANCE and OPERATE, which
are clearly marked.
• When the switch is in the MAINTENANCE position, it will allow the technician to run the engine in FORWARD,
REVERSE, or NEUTRAL for certain maintenance and/or repair functions. However, if the Forward/Reverse
handle is in either the FORWARD or REVERSE position and the accelerator pedal is pressed, the engine will
stop running. See following WARNING and NOTE.
WARNING
• With the switch in the MAINTENANCE 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 firmly set the park brake before servicing or leaving the vehicle.
NOTE: The switch must be returned to the OPERATE position after servicing is complete, or the engine will stop
running when the accelerator pedal is pressed, and the Forward/Reverse handle is in the FORWARD
or REVERSE position.
