Scott,

'86 PT-40 here. I have a lock. Big black lever on the front. I would
expect you should have one, too. Do you have the corresponding dash
light?? I have a red light on the dash that will come on if the gen
tray is unlocked. The digitel will also complain about it.

I'd find out why you don't have one - previous owner modification is
my guess - and get it fixed. I'd imagine this is a critical safety
feature to keep the genset in the coach. You'd hate to lose the entire
unit into the back of a compact if you had to come to a quick stop and
the hydraulics decided not to hold it.
