Clutch Pedal Assembly: Description and Operation

Hydraulic Clutch Pedal System

CONSTRUCTION





^ The hydraulic clutch pedal is connected to the master cylinder via a rod.
^ The clutch pedal and brake pedal are mounted on the same bracket.
^ The clutch pedal has a mechanism that reduces (assists) the force required to depress the clutch pedal and reduce the initial pedal depressing force.
^ A starter interlock mechanism is provided to prevent the engine from starting unless the clutch pedal is pressed.

OPERATION
STARTER INTERLOCK MECHANISM





When the clutch pedal is fully depressed, the stopper on the pedal pushes the clutch switch pushrod inwards.
When the pushrod is pressed in, the switch turns ON and connects the ignition switch to the starter circuit enabling engine start.
