A throttle operating device includes a fixing member, a throttle lever, and a detection sensor. A drive source of the transport is configured to be controlled based on the rotational operation angle of the throttle lever detected by the detection sensor. The throttle lever is configured to be rotated in a forward direction and a reverse direction. When the throttle lever is rotated in the forward direction, the drive source of the transport can be controlled. When the throttle lever is rotated in the reverse direction, a predetermined device mounted on the transport can be operated or an operation of the predetermined device can be stopped.

A position detection device detects a current positon of a operation member among positions including a predetermined position and includes a detection system that includes a part to be detected and 3N magnetic sensors S. The operation member can move to the positions in N (≥3) different directions from the predetermined position. Movement of the operation member between the predetermined position and another position cause outputs from three of the magnetic sensors to be switched. The magnetic sensors of which outputs are switched by a movement of the operation member between the predetermined position and a first position are all different from the magnetic sensors of which outputs are switched by a movement of the operation member between the predetermined position and a second position.

A manual controller for controlling a machine comprises a mounting platform and a control lever. The control lever is mounted in a joint on the mounting platform so that it can pivot about an axis. A position sensor detects the deflection of the control lever and generates a signal corresponding to the deflection. An evaluation and processing unit processes the signal from the position sensor and controls the machine according to the deflection. A return mechanism returns the control lever back to a starting position.
