A snow thrower includes a body, a chute rotatable relative to the body about a vertical axis, wherein the chute is configured to discharge snow from the snowthrower, a chute motor for rotating the chute, and a chute position user interface. The chute motor is electrically controlled to rotate the chute in response to a first input duration to the chute position user interface and to rotate the chute in response to a second input duration to the chute position user interface. The chute motor ceases operation after the first input duration and the chute motor continues operation after the second input duration.

Snow thrower with electronic controls

A pressure washer includes a prime mover, a pump driven by the prime mover, and a spray gun fluidly coupled to the pump. The spray gun includes a flow-control valve movable between an open position and a closed position to control a fluid flow from the spray gun, a user interface for controlling the flow-control valve, a sensor configured to detect the state of the user interface, and a first wireless system electrically coupled to the sensor. In a first state of the user interface, the flow-control valve is in the closed position. In a second state of the user interface, the flow-control valve is in the open position. The pressure washer further includes a second wireless system electrically coupled to the prime mover. The second wireless system signals the prime mover to start to drive the pump to provide fluid to the spray gun upon receiving a start signal from the first wireless system indicating that the sensor detects the user interface in the second state.

Wirelessly controlled trigger start and chemical tank change-over for pressure washers

A snow thrower includes a body, a chute rotatable relative to the body about a vertical axis, wherein the chute is configured to discharge snow from the snowthrower, a chute motor for rotating the chute, a chute position user interface, and an electronic control unit configured to cause the chute motor to rotate the chute incrementally in response to receiving a first input from the chute position user interface, and to cause the chute motor to rotate the chute to a predetermined position in response to receiving a second input from the chute position user interface.
