The hazard
On certain B700, F700, F800, FT900, L8000, LA8000, LN7000, LN8000, LNT8000, LS8000, LT8000 and LTS8000, the Hand throttle cable may wear the brass swivel block on the governor lever through which it passes. In some cases the wear may result in the cable jamming in the damaged swivel, which could prevent the governor lever from returning to the idle position. Correction: A revised governor lever with a stainless steel swivel will be installed on affected vehicles.
