  2. OPERATION

    1. The clutch motor rotates a worm shaft which drives the worm wheel at a reduced speed. This movement causes the push rod to move via a fulcrum provided on the worm wheel, actuating the clutch release lever.

    2. The worm wheel is provided with an assist spring, which provides a force to assist the movement of the push rod when the clutch is being operated. This reduces the load on the clutch motor at the time the clutch is being released.
