2. MACHINE'S SAFETY EQUIPMENT
General
This section describes the machine's safety equipment, its purpose, and how checks and mainte-
nance should be carried out to ensure that it operates correctly.
Throttle trigger lockout
The throttle trigger lock is designed to prevent accidental operation of the throttle. When the lock (A)
is pressed in this releases the throttle (B).
The trigger lock remains pressed in as long as the throttle is pressed. When the grip on the handle is
released the throttle trigger and the throttle trigger lock both return to their original positions. This is
controlled by two independent return spring systems. This means that the throttle trigger is automa-
tically locked in the idle position.
Checking the throttle lockout
- Make sure that the throttle trigger is locked at idle setting when the throttle trigger lockout is
released.
- Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to its original position when you release it.
