Abstract
A pedal assembly is characterized by a shipping connection, generally shown at (18), interconnecting the pedal arm (12) and the pedal platform (16) for pivoting the platform (16) to a shipping position (as shown in FIG. 7) generally overlying the pedal arm (12) and for pivoting to and locking the platform (16) in a locked position extending generally in the same direction and as an extension of the pedal arm (12) (as shown in FIGS. 1-3) for the normal operational pivotal movement about the operational axis. A locking pin (22) includes a beveled end (36) projecting into the space between the legs of the pedal platform (16) for engaging the arm (12) and calming the locking pin (22) out of the locked position during movement of the pedal platform (16) from the shipping position to the locked position.
