A method and apparatus for two motion cable engagement includes a housing adapted for attachment to a tubular member such as a handlebar or the like of a walk-behind lawnmower, a lever assembly pivotably mounted to the housing, and a socket operatively connectable to the lever assembly and actuatable by a deadman handle. The lever assembly preferably includes a lever, a hub connected to the lever, and a pivotable member which is selectively pivotably driven by the hub. When the socket is pivoted by the deadman handle from a primary position to an engaged position, movement of the lever from an initial position to an advanced position produces pivoting of the pivotable member and a control cable attached thereto. With the socket remaining in the engaged position, the lever may be permitted to return to the initial position, and the pivotable member remains advanced and held by the socket, keeping the control cable in the actuated condition until the deadman handle is released, whereupon tension on the control cable causes the pivotal member returned to its initial position and permits the control cable to extend and deactivate a controllable mechanism to which it is attached.
