Abstract
A clutch/brake unit especially adapted for use with a walk-behind lawn mower and having a braking element which applies a brake and disengages a clutch when shifted axially in response to turning of a rotary actuator in one direction. A single anti-rotation bolt extends between the braking element and the engine of the mower to prevent rotation of the braking element when the brake is applied. Angularly spaced springs urge the braking element axially toward the rotary actuator and are located above the actuator so as to be shielded from lawn trash.
