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 direction selector.
The neutral lock is located on the direction selector. To
operate neutral lock located on the direction selector,
first turn the key switch to 'OFF', place direction selector
in 'R' and remove 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. 2). Move direction selector lever 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 of the lever. When in
this position, the direction selector remains locked in
the neutral position. To activate the direction selector,
pull the neutral lock pin handle out and rotate until the
pointed portion of the handle fits into the hole (3) in the
direction selector cam.
Spring loaded mechanism. To prevent possi-
bility of fingers becoming pinched in the direc-
tion selector mechanism, hold direction
selector lever when releasing neutral lock pin
handle.
