SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Checking, maintaining and servicing
the machine ' ' ' ' s safety equipment
IMPORTANT!
All servicing and repair work on the machine requires
special training. This is especially true of the machine ' s
safety equipment. If your machine fails any of the checks
described below you must contact your service agent.
When you buy any of our products we guarantee the
availability of professional repairs and service. If the retailer
who sells your machine is not a servicing dealer, ask him for
the address of your nearest service agent. The life span of
the machine can be reduced and the risk of accidents can
increase if machine maintenance is not carried out correctly
and if service and/or repairs are not carried out
professionally. If you need further information please
contact your nearest service workshop.
Throttle lock
• Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting
when the throttle lock is released.
• Press the throttle lock and make sure it returns to its
original position when you release it.
• Check that the throttle control and throttle lock move freely
and that the return springs work properly.
The throttle lock is designed to prevent accidental operation
of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when
you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control (B).
When you release the handle the throttle control and the
throttle lock both move back to their original positions. This
movement is controlled by two independent return springs.
This arrangement means that the throttle control is
automatically locked at the idle setting.
