<p>A locking hub assembly has a hub rotatably engaged to a vehicle's non-rotati ng axle and a manually controlled actuator for selectively switching the hub as sembly between an engaged position for rotatably fixing the hub to the axle and a disengage d position for freeing rotation of the hub on the axle. A locking mechanism for the hub ass embly has a lock operatively engaged with the actuator and at least one throw arm. The l ock is selectively operable between: a locked position in which the throw arm is ex tended into locking engagement with the hub to prevent operation of the actuator, and to prevent removal of the actuator from the hub as well as the hub from the axle; and, an unlocked position in which the throw arm is retracted from locking engagement to perm it operation of the actuator.</p> |
