  • Patent number: 11152164
    Abstract: A lock-out pinion can be coupled to a center sump control shaft to rotate therewith. A lock-out slide can include a rack and a blocking cover. A lock-out guide can be coupled to the sump control housing and can form a guide channel. The lock-out slide can be received in the guide channel with the lock-out pinion drivingly coupled to the rack to move the lock-out slide along the guide channel from a lock-out position in which the blocking cover prevents rotation of the intermediate sump control shaft with the driving handle, to an unlocked position in which the blocking cover permits rotation of the intermediate sump control shaft with the driving handle, in response to manual rotation of the center sump control shaft in the center sump opening direction.
