•Check that the throttle is locked in the “idling position“ when the throttle trigger lock is in its original position.

•Press in the throttle trigger lock and make sure it returns to its original position when released.

•Ensure that the throttle and throttle trigger lock move easily and that their return spring systems function.

The throttle trigger lock is designed to prevent the throttle from accidentally being engaged. When the trigger lock (A) is pressed into the handle (= when you hold the handle) the throttle

(B)is released. When the grip on the handle is released the throttle and the throttle trigger lock return to their original positions. This takes place via two independent return spring systems. This means that the throttle is automatically locked in its “idling“ position.
