The problem
The foot treadle accelerator is equipped with a return spring which serves as a backup device for the throttle return spring mounted on the engine; should both springs fail simultaneously the engine throttle could become stuck open.
The risk
The throttle would not disengage when foot pressure isremoved from the treadle; the vehicle would be subject to loss of speed controland a possible accident.
The fix
Replace the treadle return spring with a newly designed spring.
