Zusammenfassung:A handle (20) for an outdoor power equipment unit, such as a lawn mower (2), includes a control system for allowing the user to manually vary the ground speed of the mower provided by a self propel system. The control system includes a handle grip (32) on the handle (20) that slides up and down relative to a lower portion (22) of the handle (20). As the handle grip (32) slides down, the ground speed increases. As the handle grip (32) slides up, the ground speed decreases. A grab member (42) can be used to allow the operator to have leverage in pushing the handle grip (32) down.
