System Description
Clutch

A

The clutch tension actuator is fed by engine oil pressure through a four-way distributor controlled by the CLUTCH switch.
It’s regulated by a non-return valve to keep clutch engaged in case of engine oil drop.
A gas spring maintains disengagement during prolonged stoppage.
The CLUTCH light lights off when pressure of the oil is above 3.6 bar.
