Abstract:
A power machine including a traction mechanism for driving the power machine, and a power actuator, comprising:a first sensor sensing a first operating condition and providing a first sensor signal indicative of the first operating condition;a traction lockout mechanism coupled to the traction mechanism to selectively lock the traction mechanism;an operator actuable override mechanism providing an override signal in response to actuation thereof;a power circuit coupled to the traction mechanism and the power actuator to provide power to the traction mechanism and the power actuator; anda controller coupled to the first sensor, the power circuit, the traction lockout mechanism, and the override mechanism and configured to instate a first lockout condition in which a plurality of functions are locked out in response to the first sensor signal and to selectively override the first lockout condition based on the override signal, and the first sensor signal.
