The Titan 779-089 Throttle Lever Control Assembly is a complete replacement kit for the engine throttle control on compatible PowrLiner line striping machines. It allows the operator to smoothly increase or decrease engine speed for consistent spray output and safe machine movement.
Over time, throttle cables can stretch, levers can crack, springs can lose tension, and pivot points can corrode. These issues cause sticky, loose, or non‑responsive throttle control, which can lead to dangerous speed surges or stalling. Replacing the entire assembly restores factory feel and reliable engine response.

| Return‑to‑idle | Spring‑loaded lever returns engine to idle when released |
| Operator comfort | Ergonomic lever with smooth, progressive feel |
| Safety | Prevents unintended high‑speed operation |
