Abstract: A foot pedal lift assist that is operably associated with the lift mechanism of a lawn care apparatus. The lift assist includes a foot pedal that is pivotally connected to a holder. The foot pedal may be locked into an operative position where the longitudinal axis of the foot pedal is perpendicular to the axis of the holder. The foot pedal includes a positioning hole that is aligned with a first hole on a mounting surface of the holder when the foot pedal is in the operative position. The foot pedal may be locked into an inoperative position where the longitudinal axis of the foot pedal is parallel to the axis of the holder. The positioning hold of the foot pedal is aligned with a second hold on the mounting surface when the foot pedal is in the inoperative position. The foot pedal lift assist may be used alone, or in conjunction with a standard hand lever to reposition a mower deck or other implement.

Abstract translation: 与踏板护理装置的提升机构可操作地相关联的脚踏板提升辅助装置。 提升辅助件包括一脚踏板，该脚踏板枢转地连接到支架。 脚踏板可以被锁定到操作位置，其中脚踏板的纵向轴线垂直于保持器的轴线。 脚踏板包括当脚踏板处于操作位置时与支架的安装表面上的第一孔对齐的定位孔。 脚踏板可能被锁定到不工作的位置，其中脚踏板的纵向轴线平行于支架的轴线。 当脚踏板处于非操作位置时，脚踏板的定位保持与安装表面上的第二保持件对齐。 脚踏板提升辅助可以单独使用，也可以与标准手柄一起使用，以重新定位割草机甲板或其他工具。
