Bonjour,

J'aimerais savoir si, dans cette phrase, "throttle" peut être traduit par "papillon":
"Hydraulics and throttle speed up; this switch is used to power up compaction mechanism and load discharge functions, for example when carrying out checking and setting hydraulic circuit pressures."

Merci
