ABSTRACT:
A safety interlock system for a fire truck pump throttle control. The fire truck has a transfer box which is coupled through an automatic transmission to the engine. The transfer box is manually shiftable from a first mode in which it operatively connects the engine with the fire truck wheels, to a second mode in which it operatively connects the engine with the pump. The fire truck has a throttle control remote from the cab to vary the engine speed when the engine is driving the pump. The present invention provides a mechanism which senses the mode of the transfer box and locks the remote throttle control when the transfer box is in its first mode so that the engine speed is not inadvertently advanced from the position remote from the cab while the engine is coupled to the wheels of the truck.
