Throttle lockout
The throttle lockout is designed to prevent
accidental operation of the throttle control. When
you press the lock (A) (i.e. when you grasp the
handle) it releases the throttle control (B). When you
release the handle the throttle control and the
throttle lockout both move back to their original
positions. This movement is controlled by two
independent return springs. This arrangement
means that the throttle control is automatically
locked at the idle setting
Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle
setting when the throttle lockout is released.
Press the throttle lockout and make sure it returns to
its original position when you release it.
