Throttle lock
The throttle lock 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 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.
Stop switch
Use the stop switch to switch off the engine.
Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system
that is designed to minimise vibration and make operation
easier.
