Abstract
The present invention relates to an improved electric start lawn mower control. The improved control includes a housing having a bail disc and a cable disc pivotally mounted therein, an electric switch secured within the housing and a starter button accessible on the exterior of the housing for actuation by the operator and having an arm which pivots to actuate the switch when the starter button is depressed. The bail disc includes a stop shoulder to mechanically prevent operation of the starter button until the bail disc is moved to its bail down position and the cable disc is moved to the 'on' position. The bail disc is interconnected with the cable disc so that movement of the bail disc moves the cable disc to move the cable from its 'off' position to its 'on' position and release of said bail disc allows said cable disc and its cable to return to its 'off' position. Additionally the housing includes the cable and wiring exiting through the same opening.
