NEUTRAL LOCKOUT
For the convenience of the trained technician, there is a neutral lockout cam located on the back of the For-
ward/Reverse shifter. If the neutral lockout 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 MAINTENANCE position
. 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 17). See following WARNING and NOTE.

WARNING
• With the cam 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: 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 right of the driver’s right knee
. If the vehicle is hard to start in cool or cold temperatures, simply push in the choke cover to activate
it. Hold it during start up and release the choke cover after the engine starts and runs smoothly.
