The Husqvarna 542160172 Locking Throttle Cable is a genuine OEM replacement designed for the FS4800D, FS8400D, and Pro65G floor saws. This cable delivers the exact routing, length, and end-fitting geometry specified by Husqvarna, ensuring the throttle engages and locks with the same response as the original. As a genuine OEM component, it is manufactured to the same standards as the part installed at the factory, giving operators confidence in both fit and function. DHS Equipment supplies this part to help keep your floor saw performing at its best.
Key Features
- OEM-Specified Cable Construction — Manufactured to Husqvarna's exact length, sheath diameter, and end-fitting specification, ensuring correct throttle travel and positive locking action on the FS4800D, FS8400D, and Pro65G floor saws.
- Integrated Locking Mechanism — The locking feature allows operators to hold a set throttle position during extended cutting passes, reducing hand fatigue and maintaining consistent blade speed.
- Direct Bolt-In Replacement — Mounts to the original cable anchor and throttle body connection points without modification, restoring the control linkage to its original operating condition.
- Confirmed Fitment for Husqvarna Floor Saws — Verified for the FS4800D, FS8400D, and Pro65G walk-behind floor saws. Cross-reference 542160172 against your parts diagram before ordering.
- Restored Throttle Control — A worn or frayed throttle cable causes inconsistent engine response and prevents the locking function from holding position; replacing it with this cable restores full, predictable control.
- Operator Safety Compliance — A correctly functioning locking throttle cable is a critical control component; using a genuine OEM part maintains the intended safety behavior of the throttle system.
The locking throttle cable connects the operator's throttle lever to the engine's throttle body, transmitting hand input into precise engine speed control on walk-behind floor saws. The locking function allows a set RPM to be maintained hands-free during long, straight cutting runs, which is particularly important for consistent diamond blade performance in concrete and asphalt. When the cable stretches, frays, or the locking mechanism fails to hold, engine speed becomes erratic and the locking feature is lost — both of which affect cut quality and operator comfort on demanding flatwork jobs.
