CRUISE CONTROL LOCK
MECHANISM
To engage the cruise control, first the ground speed
pedal must be depressed. This moves the lock plate (O,
Figure 8) forward. Second the parking brake / cruise
knob is pulled up rotating the plate and pad assembly (Q,
Figure 10) (clockwise from top) into the lock plate (O,
Figure 8). The lock plate is pinned between the pad and
frame, and the transmission’s return-to-neutral spring
provides the tension to lock the mechanism. Depressing
the ground speed pedal moves the lock plate forward,
allowing the pivot plate to rotate back to disengaged
position; or depressing the brake pedal rotates the brake
cam (B, Figure 9), causing the cruise release tabs (A) to
contact each other, rotating the plate and pad out of
locked position, releasing the lock plate.
If the cruise control will not engage or release properly,
the components should first be cleaned and lubricated.
If this does not rectify the problem, replace any worn
components.
