SAFARI STORME MY14

CLUTCH 6 D. HYDRAULIC ADAPTER The hydraulic adapter connects the high pressure line from CMC via peak torque limiter to CSC through a small opening in the housing. The hydraulic adapter consists of a bleeding valve which helps to bleed and drain the clutch system. The bleeding valve is just an ON/OFF valve which needs to be operated while bleeding the system. ™ NOTE The hydraulic adapter parts are not serviceable and needs to be replaced completely if found defective. E. SINGLE MASS FLYWHEEL The single mass flywheel (SMF) is a flywheel having single inertia mass. It is fitted on the engine crankshaft and provides mounting for the clutch assembly, comprising of clutch cover assembly and the driven disc. The function of a conventional flywheel is to dampen the speed fluctuations caused by impulses during the engine cycle. F. SELF ADJUSTING CLUTCH A self-adjusting clutch (SAC) eliminates problems both in terms of wear in the clutch cover and the need for increased force at the pedal as the facing thickness reduces. In addition, the service life of the clutch is increased considerably. A self-adjusting clutch does not normally need to be replaced during the service life of the vehicle. A self-adjusting clutch (SAC) senses the increase in release load at the diaphragm spring. It has an adjustment mechanism between the diaphragm spring and the clutch cover. This maintains the angle of the diaphragm spring and ensures that the pedal effort remains constant throughout the life of the clutch.
