The 2 slots of the Totem were designed to be used with double ropes in stitch plate mode but people started noticing that you could use the totem as a lever to adjust friction thus the name throttle mode
A student in one of our Totem workshops came up with a way to rig throttle mode on a single strand of rope as demonstrated here
Pushing up on the throttle lever can dramatically increase friction or even bring it to a complete stop
Be sure to tether your Totem to your harness especially when rappelling into water
