6.3. When the differential lock lever is released, there
should be slight slack in the cable.
6.4. When fully engaged, the differential lock arm
should move up at least 3/4” as measured along
the cable. See Figure 6.4.
NOTE: The differential lock bracket is located at
the right rear corner of the transmission, beneath
the air filter.
6.5. Loosen the jam nuts that hold the differential
lock cable to the differential lock bracket.
6.6. Trace the cable to the bracket that is mounted to
the frame.
NOTE: At both brackets, the inner jam nut
should be all the way up against the shoulder of
the threaded cable end.
NOTE: The differential lock lever is able to apply
more movement to the cable than is necessary
to engage the differential lock. Looseness of the
cable will seldom be an issue.
6.7. If there is an issue with differential lock engage-
ment or disengagement, inspect the cable, lever,
and differential lock arm on the transmission for
freedom of movement and correct mounting.
6.8. Lubricate or repair them as necessary. See “Dif-
ferential Lock Linkage Removal and Replace-
ment” section of this manual for linkage service
instructions.
NOTE: If adjustment and repair of the linkage
does not make the differential lock function prop-
erly, an internal transmission problem exists.
6.9. Install the cup holder and parcel bin by reversing
the removal procedure.

7. Brake System Description
7.1. There are two multi-disc wet brakes inside the
transmission. One brake assembly works on the
left out-put shaft, the other works on the right
out-put shaft.
7.2. The brakes are actuated by two heavy cables
that connect to the brake pedal.
7.3. A third cable connects to the brake pedal. The
third cable is used to operate the clutch pulley
brake and the shift interlock mechanism.
7.4. If the brakes are out of adjustment, the travel of
the cable that operates the clutch pulley brake
and shift interlock will be effected as well.
