Throttle control and safety switch device

A throttle control and safety switch device comprising:

• an operating lever connected to a pivot shaft for pivotal movement about an axis (A-A′);
• a first carrier connected to the pivot shaft and pivotal about the axis (A-A′) in accordance with pivotal motion of the operating lever, the first carrier comprising:
• a safety switch configured to generate and transmit a cutoff signal to an electronic control unit (ECU) upon pressing by a plunger portion;
• and
• a cable attachment portion adapted to engage a throttle actuating cable;
• and
• a second carrier pivotally connected to the pivot shaft by a fastener and connected to the first carrier by a dowel and slot arrangement, the second carrier comprises the plunger portion configured at a lower end of the second carrier,
• wherein, in a non-operational state of the throttle actuating cable, the first carrier is adapted to move towards the second carrier and the plunger portion of the second carrier presses the safety switch.
