Abstract: An assist handle for assisting an operator with climbing on to, or off of, a ground maintenance vehicle such as a mower, and a ground maintenance vehicle incorporating the same. The assist handle includes, in one embodiment, a grip portion movable between a deployed position, wherein the grip portion is positioned at a deployed elevation configured to assist the operator with ingress to, or egress from, a platform such as a seat; and a stowed position, wherein the grip portion is positioned at a stowed elevation lower than the deployed elevation.

Abstract: A walk power mower having a cutting deck supported upon the ground by a front and rear wheel(s). The mower includes a traction drive system incorporating a bidirectional transmission adapted to propel the mower alternatively in both forward and reverse directions. In some embodiments, the mower may include a single bidirectional transmission (e.g., powering only rear wheel(s) or only front wheel(s) of the mower), while in other embodiments, two bidirectional transmissions may be provided to power both the front and the rear wheel(s). In other embodiments, the mower may include a bidirectional transmission powering the rear wheel(s), while the front wheel(s) may be attached to the deck via a caster assembly.

Abstract: A walk power mower has a deck with an upwardly and rearwardly extending handle behind which a use walks when operating the mower. The mower is self-propelled by a variable speed traction drive. The handle includes a slidable handle grip for engaging and selecting a speed of the traction drive to control the ground speed of the mower. Forward ground speed is set by pushing the handle grip forwardly on the handle from a neutral position. Reverse ground speed if available is by pulling the handle grip rearwardly from its neutral position. The handle grip follows a curved path as it moves forwardly or rearwardly to flatten the path of travel of the handle grip from the travel that would have occurred absent the curved path.

Abstract: A walk power mower having a cutting deck supported upon the ground by front and rear wheels. The mower includes a biased handle that permits the handle to be pivotally displaced downwardly, against an upward bias force, during operation. The bias force may be provided by a resilient member that compresses as the handle is displaced downwardly. The compression of the resilient member allows downward movement of the handle without initially producing corresponding upward movement of the front wheels of the mower during rearward pulling of the handle.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a grounds maintenance vehicle are disclosed. The grounds maintenance vehicle can include an electronic control unit (ECU) in electrical communication with a transmission control input, clutch, parking brake, and OP switch of the vehicle. In response to a pre-defined operator activity, the ECU is adapted to manipulate the clutch from an engaged state to a disengaged state, while an engine of the vehicle remains in an operative state, when the transmission control input is in a neutral state and the OP switch changes from an on state to an off state.
Abstract translation: 公开了地面维修车辆的各种实施例。 地面维护车辆可以包括与车辆的变速器控制输入,离合器,驻车制动器和OP开关电连通的电子控制单元(ECU)。 响应于预先定义的操作者活动,当变速器控制输入处于中立状态时,ECU适于将离合器从接合状态操纵到分离状态,而车辆的发动机保持在工作状态; OP开关从开状态变为关状态。
