Checking, Maintaining And Servicing The Machine's Safety Equipment - Husqvarna K960 Chain Operator's Manual

Muffler
WARNING! The muffler gets very hot in use
!
and remains so for a short time afterwards.
Do not touch the muffler if it is hot!
The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
WARNING! The exhaust fumes from the
!
engine are hot and may contain sparks
which can start a fire. Never start the
machine indoors or near combustible
material!
IMPORTANT! For mufflers it is very important that you
follow the instructions on checking, maintaining and
servicing your machine. See instructions under the heading
Checking, maintaining and servicing the machine's safety
equipment.
WARNING! The inside of the muffler contain
!
chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid
contact with these elements in the event of a
damaged muffler.
Throttle lockout
The throttle trigger 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 grip 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.
