The trigger lock remains pressed in as long as the throttle is
pressed. When the grip on the handle is released, both the
throttle and throttle lockout return to their original positions.
This should be done via two, independent return spring
systems. This position means that the throttle is automatically
locked to idling and unintentional activation of this is
prevented.
