Don't bother with the slang Mike, what Bill is saying is that the message to discontinue the hand throttle got lost somewhere between engineering and the proguction department.
Engineering, lets see, isn't someone here an engineer? Ahhh yes, don't lubricate it, or put a kink in it, or tie a knot in it, or crimp it in the vise, or better yet, just hit it with a BFHammer. Just pullin your jeeber 4onthefloor!
This is probably one of those things that we'll never know, one of those things that the designer took to the grave with him.
"My big old wife" came up with another one, use it when you hand crank it?
