Jacking the Vehicle

Whenever the engine is run for routine maintenance

and/or engine diagnostics, the rear wheels of the

vehicle should be 25mm (1”) off the ground with the

rear axle supported on jack stands.

The jacking point at the front of the vehicle is on the

front of the frame behind the towing tongue (Fig. 14).

The jacking point at the rear of the vehicle is under

the axle tubes (Fig. 15).

Neutral Lock Assembly

When performing routine maintenance and/or engine

diagnostics, the transaxle must be shifted into a

neutral position. The vehicle does not have a neutral

position on the shift lever, so the following steps must

be performed:

1. To lock the transaxle in neutral, rotate the

locking pin 180 degrees on the shift block

(Fig. 16).

2. Shift the gear selector into REVERSE and then

into FORWARD. Leave the gear shift selector in

the FORWARD position.

3. Ensure that the transaxle is locked in neutral by

rotating the secondary clutch (Fig. 17). No tire

rotation should occur.
