摘要： An operator control system for a self-propelled vehicle such as a lawn mower is provided wherein the control system includes two opposing and preferably upwardly extending and converging hand grips each having a corresponding drive control lever associated therewith. Each drive control lever may have at least a portion that is parallel to a grip axis of its respective hand grip. Further, each drive control lever may have a pivot axis that is substantially parallel to the corresponding grip axis such that the drive control lever remains substantially parallel to its respective hand grip throughout its travel. In some embodiments, a neutral lock is provided to permit locking of each drive control lever in at least one position, e.g., a neutral position. Secondary levers such as operator presence control (OPC) levers may also be included. In one embodiment, an OPC lever is associated with each hand grip.

摘要： An operator control system for a self-propelled vehicle such as a lawn mower is provided wherein the control system includes two opposing and preferably upwardly extending and converging hand grips each having a corresponding drive control lever associated therewith. Each drive control lever may have at least a portion that is parallel to a grip axis of its respective hand grip. Further, each drive control lever may have a pivot axis that is substantially parallel to the corresponding grip axis such that the drive control lever remains substantially parallel to its respective hand grip throughout its travel. A latching device may be provided to permit latching of each drive control lever in two or more positions, e.g., a neutral position and a park position. Secondary levers such as operator presence control (OPC) levers may also be included.

摘要翻译： 提供了一种用于诸如割草机的自推进车辆的操作员控制系统，其中控制系统包括两个相对且优选地向上延伸和会聚的手柄，每个手柄具有与其相关联的相应的驱动控制杆。 每个驱动控制杆可以具有至少一部分平行于其相应手柄的握持轴线的部分。 此外，每个驱动控制杆可以具有基本上平行于相应的抓握轴线的枢转轴线，使得驱动控制杆在整个行程中基本上平行于其相应的手柄保持平行。 可以设置闩锁装置以允许每个驱动控制杆在两个或更多个位置（例如中立位置和停放位置）中的锁定。 也可以包括诸如操作者存在控制（OPC）杆的辅助杠杆。
