SECTION 7 CONTROLS
The control unit on
the TC1000 houses the
on/off switch and the throttle control trigger. The
actual housing was cast aluminum in
1985
although subsequent production uses a plastic
version.
Directly behind the control unit is a padded grip
which covers the connectors
for the ignition
ground leads and a portion of the throttle cable.

NOTE: The grip is located on the tube with a
plastic pin. The
pin can be released
by
pulling or prying down on
the front of the grip
housing while sliding the grip back, off the
end of the tube. It may help to lubricate the
tube with soapy water prior to this
procedure.
