To do a check of the throttle trigger lockout
The throttle lockout is designed to prevent accidental
operation of the throttle control.
1. Press the throttle trigger lockout (A) and make sure
that the throttle control is released (B). When you
release the handle the throttle control and the throttle
trigger lockout both move back to their initial
positions. This movement is controlled by two
independent return springs. This arrangement
means that the throttle control is automatically
locked at the idle setting.
