Narrative:
On takeoff roll, first officer flying, takeoff warning horn went off. We immediately aborted takeoff, cleared runway. First officer found number condition lever not full forward (1 inch) back from takeoff position, pushed forward, returned for takeoff. Takeoff normal. This morning it was XA30, dark, rain, drizzle, fog, visibility 2 mi. I had first officer do autofeather check on first flight of the day. Normally captain does check. Autofeather switches right in front of condition levers on panel. First officer must have bumped condition lever while doing autofeather check. Friction lock on condition levers must not have been tight enough to prevent movement. From now on, will put condition levers forward, followed by a good tightening of friction lock to prevent this from happening again.
