A mobile machine includes an internal combustion engine operatively connected to a plurality of propulsion devices for travel over a work surface. The mobile machine can include an electronic controller that receives condition data signals indicative of the operating state or condition of the mobile machine from a plurality of condition input sensors. The electronic controller compares the condition data signals with condition threshold to determine whether to operate the internal combustion engine in accordance with rated engine speed range or an adjusted engine speed range.

A shovel enabled to set an engine revolution speed to revolution speeds including a revolution speed for a running operation and a revolution speed for an idling running operation that is lower than the revolution speed for the running operation includes an engine provided as a driving source of the shovel, an operating part configured to be driven by a driving force of the engine, an operation component configured to operate the operating part, a detecting device configured to detect a position of a movable portion of an operator and a position of the operation component, an operation determining part configured to determine a positional relationship between the movable portion and the operation component, and a control part configured to set the engine revolution speed of the engine based on the positional relationship between the movable portion and the operation component that is determined by the operation determining part.

A side-by-side off-road utility vehicle comprising a vehicle operational status switch for controlling the operational status of the vehicle, a side-by-side seating structure, a plurality of safety restraint devices operable to retain one or more vehicle passenger in the side-by-side seating structure, and a prime mover RPM controller. The prime mover RPM controller operable to output commands to the one or more prime mover of the vehicle to limit a rotational speed of the prime mover(s) when the vehicle is in an On operational status and a selected one or more of the one or more safety restraints is in a disengaged status.

An internal combustion engine for driving a working assembly with a clutch, including a combustion chamber into which a mixture of fuel and air is supplied, a spark plug to ignite the mixture, ignition of the mixture driving a piston operably coupled to a crank portion of the engine, a fuel supply system including a fuel valve and a throttle valve, a throttle position sensor configured to determine a position of the throttle valve, a speed sensor configured to determine engine speed, and an electronic control unit configured to control operation of the fuel valve and the spark plug, the electronic control unit being configured to initiate a speed limitation operation in response to a first position of the throttle valve at engine start-up, wherein the speed limitation operation continues until the throttle valve is moved from its first position.

A powered device may include an engine, a mobility assembly operably coupled to the engine to provide mobility of the powered device responsive at least in part to operation of the engine, a working assembly operably coupled to the engine to perform a working function responsive at least in part to operation of the engine, and a key-operated combination ignition and speed control assembly including switch circuitry configured to control both starting the engine and selection of different selectable positions corresponding to respective different operating speeds for the engine.

An adaptive engine speed control system for a grass mowing machine having an internal combustion engine, a hydrostatic traction drive circuit and a hydraulic mowing circuit for operating a plurality of cutting units. A controller provides a traction feedback output signal if the grass mowing machine is moving at an actual ground speed that is below a pedal based desired ground speed, and uses the traction feedback output signal to command the internal combustion engine to an increased speed above a pedal based engine speed control range.

A generator set for a transport climate control unit is provided that is operable at a first frequency and a second frequency. The generator set includes a generator, a prime mover configured to operate at a first non-zero speed and a second non-zero speed that is less than the first non-zero speed, and a genset controller configured to control operation of the generator set. When operating at the first non-zero speed, the genset controller is configured to monitor a prime mover load parameter to determine whether the prime mover is approaching or has exceeded an overload or stall situation. The genset controller is configured to reduce the speed of the prime mover from the first non-zero speed to the second non-zero speed to prevent the overload or stall situation.

A roadway sweeper vehicle includes one or more processors and a control console allowing the vehicle operator to select one of a plurality of available engine speeds. A power increase assist feature is available through a throttle (e.g., pedal) that provides an increased power output of the vehicle engine for a momentary or transient period of time. The additive engine speed may be calculated based on a detected position of the throttle or determined from a lookup table based on the user-selected engine speed. Related methods are also described.

A method and system for operating a two-stroke engine includes a fuel system comprising a fuel pressure sensor, fuel temperature sensor and a fuel injector and a controller in communication with the fuel pressure sensor and fuel temperature sensor. The controller controls the fuel injector with a fuel pulsewidth determined by determining a beginning time of a window for measuring fuel pressure, determining an ending time of the window, measuring fuel pressure between the beginning time and the ending time, determining a fuel pulsewidth based on the fuel pressure and fuel temperature and injecting fuel into the two-stroke engine in response to a desired fuel mass.

Provided is a construction vehicle including: a rolling-use hydraulic pump coupled to an output shaft of an engine and supplying hydraulic oil to a rolling-use hydraulic circuit; a task-use hydraulic pump coupled to the output shaft of the engine and supplying the hydraulic oil to a task-use hydraulic circuit; and an overspeed suppression mechanism configured to activate the task-use hydraulic pump to suppress overspeed of the engine when a load equal to or greater than allowable rotation speed is applied from the rolling-use hydraulic pump to the output shaft of the engine.
