ottle lockout
The throttle loc
kout 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.
Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout move
freely and that the return springs work properly.
