Narrative:

During pushback; the number 1 yaw damper lever tripped off; and we performed a successful system reset in accordance with the Q.right.H. (Facility) procedure. During taxi for take-off; when I performed the rudder portion of the flight control check the 'stop rudder inputs' warning system (glare shield lights and audio) activated. This being a new warning system recently installed on the A300; I supposed that in this instance I simply performed the rudder check with too great a celerity of motion; and the system was performing as designed. I then performed the rudder check more slowly; and no subsequent activation of the warning system occurred. This satisfied us at that time that the activation of the warning system was not due to a fault in the system. During the initial take-off roll (below 80 knots) the 'stop rudder inputs' warning system lights and audio activated. I rejected the take-off; taxied clear and contacted flight control. Maintenance control advised us to return to the ramp for maintenance action to be performed.
