Electric mower having two-motion activation system

摘要

An electric outdoor power machine (10) includes a machine body (12) supported by wheels (14) and having an output member (24) driven by a motor (22). The motor is powered by a source of electrical power such as a battery (20). An upright assembly (44) extends from the machine body (12) and has a gripping handle (56). A manual input member (46) such as a bail handle is mounted adjacent to the gripping handle (56) and is movable relative to the gripping handle between a deactivated position and an activated position. A control assembly (50) that selectively communicates electric power to the output member (24) includes a button (76) supported by a housing (70) on the upright assembly (44). The button (76) is movable between an unactuated position and an actuated position. A button crank (84) is coupled to the button and has an interface portion (142).
