Abstract

A load-shifting device has a control element (8a, 8b) which acts on a setting member 9 which determines the output of an internal combustion engine. A control element cooperates with a driver (4) which is coupled to an accelerator (1). The driver is controllable in addition by means of an electrical setting drive 14 which cooperates with an electronic controller (17). In the load-shifting device, a setting path of the driver in idling direction is limited by an idling stop (LL). Upon application of the driver against the idling stop, the control element is movable in its idling control range relative to the driver by means of the electric setting drive. With a simple structural development the load-shifting device makes it possible to control the internal combustion engine over its entire load range and, in particular, by means of the electrical setting drive, over its idling range.
