Machin e ’s safety e quipment
This sect ion describes the machine’s safe-
ty equipment, its purpose, and how checks
and maintenance should be carried out to
ensure that it operates correctly. See the
“What is what” sec tion to locate wher e this
equipment is positioned on your machine.
The life span of the machine can be re-
duced and the risk of accid ents can in-
crease if machine maintenance is not car-
ried out correctly and if service and/or re-
pairs are not carried out professionally. If

Throttle lock--out
The throttle lock--out is designed to prevent
accidental operation of the throttle control.
When you press the lock--out (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
lock--out both move back to their original
positions. This movement is controlled by
two independent return springs. This ar-
rangement means that the throttle control is
automatically locked at the idle setting.
