Description

State the condition of the PTW throttle cables.

(OECD RS9/TEG/ 151 definitions)

The following procedures may be used as a guide to determine cable condition:

If the drum does not return to the normal position, the cable must be inspected for any crushing or binding due to the accident.

The inspection should include a detailed analysis of the cable path from the drum through to the carburettor.

Particular attention should be paid to the cable travel near the triple clamp assembly as this is a common location for cable crushing and binding.
