Abstract
A control system on a power machine which includes a first sensor sensing a first operating condition and providing a first sensor signal. An operator actuable override mechanism provides an override signal in response to actuation thereof. A controller is coupled to the first sensor, a power circuit, a traction lockout mechanism, and the override mechanism. The controller is configured to instate a lockout condition in response to the first sensor signal. The controller selectively overrides the lockout condition based on the override signal, and the first sensor signal.
