Abstract

See full text

A lawnmower comprising a frame, an engine supported by the frame, a mower deck supported by the frame, a rotating cutting blade disposed below the mower deck. A PTO is coupled to the engine and the cutting blade to rotationally drive the cutting blade. A drive system is connected to the frame and coupled to the engine to drive or propel the lawnmower. The lawnmower includes a tilt sensor for sensing a tilt angle representing the orientation of the lawnmower with respect to a horizontal level plane. A signal indicator may provide a notice signal when the tilt angle exceeds a pre-determined check angle. A CPU is electrically coupled between the tilt sensor and signal indicator, and activates the signal indicator in response to the tilt sensor sensing that the lawnmower is tilted beyond the threshold angle to warn the lawnmower operator of a tilt condition.
