DIRECTION SELECTOR
Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
To decrease the risk of an electrical arc that
can cause an electrical explosion, make sure
that the key switch is off and all electrical
accessories are turned off before you start
work on the vehicle.
Never disconnect an active circuit at a battery
terminal.
The negative (-) battery cable must be
removed before you start work on the vehicle.
Use insulated wrenches
to decrease the possibil-
ity of a dropped wrench
causing a short-circuit,
which could result in an explosion and severe
personal injury or death.
Before you remove the direction selector switch from the
body, the negative (-) battery cable must be disconnected
to decrease the risk of the possibility of electrical spark or
shorting out the battery, either of which could result in an
explosion and severe personal injury or death.
Remove screw (1) securing the handle (2) to the direction
selector shaft, and remove handle (Figure. 1). Loosen the
hardware (3) attaching the direction selector bracket (4)
to the seat frame and remove direction selector from
body.
Replacing a Micro Switch
To replace a micro switch (5), remove the attaching hard-
ware (Figure. 1). Carefully remove the two electrical wires
from the switch and attach to the new switch. Use a
DVOM and test the switch to ensure it is operational
before continuing. Once it is determined that the switch is
functional, continue reassembly of micro switch to the
direction selector bracket (4) with screws (6), nuts (7) and
washers (8). Tighten nuts (7) to the torque value specified
below.
Shift Cable Adjustment
The single cable direction selector is a mechanical device
that operates a cable connected to the rear axle. The
cable is sealed and does not require lubrication. Required
adjustment should be minimal.
Set the direction selector to the reverse (R) position.
Adjust the cable (9) at the forward cable mount until the
directions selector cam contacts the reverse stop and
when moved to forward (F) contacts the forward stop. A
small gap of less than 1/8 inch is permissible when the
direction selector is set to forward.
If more adjustment is required, adjust the threaded fitting
(10) at the axle mounting bracket (11).
Lubricate the direction selector and linkage moving parts
periodically.
Neutral Lock Operation
The neutral lock is located on the direction selector.
To operate neutral lock:
Turn the key switch to OFF, place direction selector in R
and remove 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 (Figure. 2).
Move direction selector lever toward the area between F
and R. During that motion, the pin will snap into the hole
in the direction selector mounting bracket (12), preventing
any movement of the lever.
When in this position, the direction selector remains
locked in the neutral position.
To decrease the risk of fingers becoming
pinched in the direction selector mechanism,
hold direction selector lever when releasing
neutral lock pin handle.
To unlock the direction selector, pull the neutral lock pin
handle out and rotate until the pointed portion of the han-
dle fits into the hole (3) in the direction selector cam.
