CLUTCH CONTROL SYSTEM

Clutch Control System Operation: Power from the engine flywheel is transmitted to the transmission

through a single plate, mechanically operated disk clutch. The drive plate of the clutch is splined to the

transmission input shaft. The clutch is controlled by mechanical linkage mounted on the chassis frame

and transmission clutch housing. The major components of the clutch control system are as follows:

E CLUTCH PEDAL When pressed down, it disengages transmission from engine. When released,

engine and transmission are engaged.

F PEDAL REMOTE CONTROL LEVER Transmits movement of clutch rod to actuate clutch.

G CLUTCH ROD Transmits movement from clutch pivot assembly to remote control lever and

shaft, and is used to adjust clutch pedal free travel.

H CLUTCH PIVOT ASSEMBLY Transfers torque from clutch lever to clutch rod.

I CLUTCH REMOTE CONTROL LEVER Transmits movement from clutch pedal to clutch pivot

assembly.
