1 Anti-vibration system

Check the anti-vibration elements regularly for material cracks and deformation.

Check that the anti-vibration elements are securely mounted between the engine unit and the handle system.

4 Throttle lock

The throttle lock is designed to prevent accidental opera- tion of the throttle control.

When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle trigger (B).

When you release the handle the throttle trigger and the throttle lock 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 when you release the handle.

2 Stop switch

Start the engine and make sure that the engine stops when the stop switch is moved to the stop position.
