This section descr
ibes the machine´s safety equipment,

Thr
ottle lockout
The throttle tr
igger lock is designed to prevent accidental
operation of the throttle.
When the lock (A) is pressed in
this releases the throttle (B).
The trigger lock remains pressed in as long as the throttle
is pressed. When the g
rip on the handle is released the
throttle trigger and the throttle trigger lock both return to
their original positions. This is controlled by two
independent return spring systems. This means that the
throttle trigger is automatically locked in the idle position.
