As far as I can see, this lever mounted on the bulkhead behind the gear stick is connected to the heater. However, I've never been able to actually work out exactly what it does. :confused:

I also have this metal thing attached to the top corner of the windscreen at the passenger side. What is it?

Thanks for any info.

From searching on the forum, the hand throttle is required when using PTO, which I don't have fitted.

What other reasons are there to use it? This is probably a daft question but I knew nothing about it until today.

Good for keeping revs up wen crawling etc off road
 
I read that when it is set furthest to the right it is disengaged.

Is this the correct setting for normal road driving?
 
The bit in the window looks like a broken bracket from a m/c tax disc holder - makes it a bit more difficult to steal the disc, supposedly.....
 
Used a hand throttle to get myself unstuck once, low box first set the throttle, jumped out and rocked the vehicle side to side and of it went.

The hand throttle is not for use on the move...

It's purpose is to keep the revs high when stationary in order to charge or keep charged the batteries when to radio equipment or winch is used...

Use of this equipment with this would soon run the batteries down ...

Most simple thing for a hand throttle is a push bike gear change lever and cable. Simply clamp it to the gearstick and route the the cable to your prefered connection point...

Now you can operate it with your thumb whilst holding the gear lever!

The advantage of a push bike lever is that you can set the damping on the lever to either hold the throttle position or spring return to tickover when you let your thumb off the lever...

but it comes in handy if your stuck in mud and need some extra revs ...
