This section describes the machine´s safety equipment,
its purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be

Throttle lockout and ON/OFF valve for the
water
The throttle lockout is designed to prevent accidental

valve.
When you press the lock (1) into the handle (i.e. when you
grasp the handle) it opens the water valve and releases
the throttle control (2).

position, the machine will stop and the throttle will be
locked, while the water valve returns to closed position.

trigger lock is in its original position.
