Abstract: A foot pedal control for controlling operations of a machine has a folding foot pedal assembly that has two sections that pivot relative to each other, and both sections are pivoted relative to a platform of the machine. The two pedal sections will pivot relative to each other from a first folded position where they nest together with foot rest portions closely adjacent, to a second position where the foot rest portions are separated and will support a foot. In the position with the foot rest portions separated, both of the sections will pivot around a common axis to provide movement of a control link when using the foot operated pedal. The folded pedals can be locked from pivoting to then serve as a foot rest.
