ABSTRACT:
Button type blade brake controls are disclosed that can be disposed on a handle of a power machine such a lawnmower. A blade brake clutch control can include a housing having a top portion that has a front side and a rear side. A control bail can have a pin extending therefrom that extends into the housing. A pivot arm can be disposed within the housing and connected to a control cable. A rotatable latch can be secured to the pivot arm. The latch can have a latch head that is aligned with the pin extending from the control bail. A rearward button can be disposed on the rear side of the top portion of the housing. The rearward button can have a contact surface positioned above the latch head. The rear button can be configured for pushing downward so that the contact surface contacts the latch head to rotate the latch head into an engaged position about the pin of the control bail so that, as the control bail is pulled downward, the pivot arm also pivots downward to pulled the control cable forward.
