Abstract
A control arrangement comprises a pivotal control member having a pair of arms and a pivotal lever disposed between the arms. The stop member is secured on the lever to engage a snubber upon relative pivoting between the control member and lever. The control arrangement is adapted for connection to a control valve to alert the operator when the control lever has over-travelled a "run" condition of operation when the stop member engages the snubber.
