1. 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.
B
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.
Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout move freely
and that the return springs work properly.
