PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric husbandry machine which has a battery with a grip part attachably/detachably mounted on a battery mounting stand of the machine main body while avoiding the grip part and the battery mounting stand from being overloaded.SOLUTION: When a lock/release lever switchable between a lock position and a release position is switched to the lock position, a locking part of the lever engages with a locked part of a battery and a manual operation part of the lever approaches a grip part, so that an operator is kept from gripping the grip part with the lever held in the lock position while the battery is prevented from being removed from the battery mounting stand. On the other hand, when the lever is manually switched to the release position, the locking part is disengaged from the locked part and the manual operation part is spaced from the grip part such that the battery is allowed to be detached from the battery mounting stand and the operator is allowed to grip the grip part.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】把持部付きバッテリを機体本体のバッテリ載置台に着脱可能に装着させつつ、前記把持部や前記バッテリ載置台に過度の負荷が作用しない電動管理機を提供する。【解決手段】ロック位置及び解除位置をとり得るロック・解除レバーがロック位置に位置されると、前記レバーの係止作用部が前記バッテリの被係止部に係合して前記バッテリの前記バッテリ載置台からの脱離を防止しつつ、前記レバーがロック位置に位置されたままでの作業者による前記把持部の把持を禁止するように前記レバーの人為操作部が前記把持部に近接する。一方、作業者による人為操作力によって前記レバーが解除位置に位置されると、前記係止作用部の前記被係止部に対する係合が解除されて前記バッテリの前記バッテリ載置台からの脱離を許容し且つ作業者による前記把持部の把持を許容し得るように前記人為操作部が前記把持部から離間する。【選択図】図5
