OPERATION

The pump (5), operated by the clutch pedal, pressurizes the hydraulic circuit and operates the clutch control cylinder (2).

The latter acts on the linkage (3) which "pulls" the thrust bearing, overcoming the action of the pressure plate springs.

This action causes the release of the clutch plate from the flywheel.

When the pedal is released, the action of the diaphragm springs returns the mechanical to the original position.
