Place the direction selector in neutral and engage the

tral position.
Do not tow a single vehicle at speeds in excess of 12
mph (19 kph). Do not tow more than three vehicles at a
time. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 kph) while towing multi-
ple vehicles. Towing the vehicle above the recom-

Tow bars are not intended for road use.
Never use ropes or chains to tow vehicle(s). Tow bars
are available from the E-Z-GO Service Parts Depart-
ment.
Tow bars are not intended for highway use. Before tow-
ing, place direction selector in neutral and engage the
neutral lock. Do not ride on the vehicle being towed.
Tow bars are designed to tow only one vehicle at a max-
imum speed of 12 mph (19 kph) and up to three vehicles
at a maximum speed of 5 mph (8 kph).
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
direction selector mounting bracket, preventing any
movement of the lever. When in this position, the direc-
tion 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.
