Thr

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.

See instructions under the heading Start. Start the machine 
and apply full throttle. Release the throttle and check that the 
cutting attachment stops and remains at a standstill. If the 
cutting attachment rotates with the throttle in the idle position
