The “Cruise” function allows the operator to use a thumb controlled lever for constant speed use without using the throttle trigger. This is useful for limiting the fatigue caused from holding the throttle for extended periods of time. On the opposite side, a two position “Limiter” control allows full engine speed when set for “Turbo” or limits the throttle to a pre-set engine speed when set to lo
