BTW, I tried killing the engine from the red "stop" switch and it sounds like the engine is trying to stop, but never stops dieseling. Is there an adjustment or do I need to check vacuum?

It is safe to drive without the locks, but definitely not safe to drive without to stop level functional!
you need to adjust the accelerator rack system to allow the stop lever to have enough travel to cut fuel to the engine. id take the time to adjust all of the throttle levers to the correct lengths as specified in the factory service manual. i believe the Haynes manual has a diagram as well.
