the oil to circulate freely within the roller, thereby
permitting the roller to be moved without the engine
running. This engagement pin is only to be used in
the event the roller is disabled.

transmission underneath the acess cover. It is actuated
by pushing the pin inward and placing the locking
clip over the pin to keep it in place.
