s safety equipment
 
This section describes the machine
 
 
s safety equipment, its 
purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried 
out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the ”What is 
what?” section to locate where this equipment is positioned 
on your machine.
 
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.
