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.

Press the throttle lock--out and make sure it returns to its original position when you re- lease it.

Check that the throttle control and throttle lock--out 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 then the carburettor idle setting must be checked. See instructions under the heading Maintenance.
