DS Gas Service Mode

[insbob]

I have read mention of "SERVICE MODE".
I assume when the cart is in SERVICE MODE a person can run the engine and have the cart in neutral for diagnosis and repair.
I have a GAS 95 Club Car DS.
If I am correct in my assumption of what SERVICE MODE is, how do I put the cart in SERVICE MODE?
If I am not correct, what is SERVICE MODE for and is there anyway to run the engine in Neutral?

The neutral lock-out circuit prevents the operator from starting the vehicle in neutral. Also, if the vehicle is
started in forward or reverse and then shifted to neutral, the engine automatically stops running.
The neutral lock-out circuit consists of a limit switch that is located on the forward and reverse assembly and
is activated by a neutral-lock-out cam, a limit switch that is located in the electrical component box and is activated
by the accelerator pedal, and the connecting wires.
The neutral lock-out cam is a feature included for the convenience of the trained and experienced mechanic.
If the neutral lock-out cam is pulled out approximately 3/8 inch (10 millimeters) and rotated one-half turn until
it snaps back into place, the vehicle will be in the SERVICE position (Figure 12-10). This allows the
mechanic to run the engine in neutral for certain maintenance procedures. With the cam in the SERVICE
position, the engine will start in neutral. If the forward and reverse switch is shifted to either the forward or
reverse position, the engine will stop running.
To put the vehicle back in the OPERATE position, pull the cam out approximately 3/8 inch (10 millimeters)
and rotate one-half turn until it snaps back into place (Figure 12-11).


This is the cam behind the Forward/Reverse lever that activates the Limit Switches. It is either white or yellow in color. If used be careful that cart dose not take off and hurt someone.
