Multiquip 469466970 Throttle Lever - OEM Replacement Part for Plate Compactors

The throttle lever controls engine speed on Multiquip reversible plate compactors, allowing operators to regulate power output and clutch engagement during compaction operations. This critical control component mounts directly to the handle assembly and connects to the engine harness to provide precise throttle adjustment from idle to full operating speed.

During operation, the throttle lever must be moved quickly without hesitation when increasing engine speed to prevent clutch slippage and ensure proper vibrational frequency for effective compaction. The lever is secured with four mounting screws and includes a backing plate that fits within the handle cutout. Installation requires removal of the outer handle panel (six screws) and careful connection to the electrical harness to maintain proper throttle control functionality.

This throttle assembly is essential for maintaining safe operation and achieving the appropriate vibrational frequency indicated by the green LED flash on COMPAS-equipped models. Faulty or worn throttle levers can result in inconsistent engine speed control, compromised compaction performance, and potential clutch damage from improper engagement.

Compatible with the following Multiquip plate compactor models:
