hold the shifter lever between F and R. push cart a little and make sure the belt doesn't turn. Or to be safe, take belt off.

Re: used cart buying tips
Above 150 psi is good. It will run on comp. below that but I would be iffy at best if it was lower. Look in the breather to see if any oil is in it. If you see oil in the breather it usually means that ring wear is evident. On your comp. values, keep in mind a low comp. value doesnt mean the engine is bad, it might just need the valves adjusted.
