Throttle Controls

Engine throttle controls engine speed, which
determines available power.
Engine throttle is controlled with both a knob (I, Fig
23) and a pedal (J).

Fig. 23 – Throttle Knob and Pedal
The throttle knob (I) is the primary throttle control.
Generally, the throttle is set with the knob to the
desired idle/run position. The pedal can then be used
to increase engine speed whenever additional power
is required. When the pedal is released, the engine
returns to the speed set by the throttle knob.
