Throttle Lock - Husqvarna 385XP Operator's Manual

Checking the front hand guard
Make sure the front hand guard is not damaged and that there
are no visible defects such as cracks.
Move the front hand guard forwards and back to make sure it
moves freely and that it is securely anchored to the clutch
cover.
Checking the inertia brake release
Place the chain saw, with the engine switched off, on a stump
or other stable surface. Release the front handle and let the
saw fall by its own weight, rotating around the rear handle
towards the stump.
When the bar hits the stump the brake should be applied.

MAINTENANCE
Checking the brake trigger
Place the chain saw on firm ground and start it. Make sure the
chain does not touch the ground or any other object. See the
instructions under the heading Start and stop.
Grasp the chain saw firmly, wrapping your fingers and thumbs
around the handles.
Apply full throttle and activate the chain brake by tilting your
left wrist forward onto the front hand guard. Do not let go of
the front handle. The chain should stop immediately.
