ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and device for bringing the driven load of an internal combustion engine into motion by controlling the throttle or fuel delivery system of the engine and supplying a series of voltages to an electromagnetic clutch in a clutch engagement cycle. The throttle is set to a position or the fuel flow is regulated such that a specified torque output is produced by the engine. A detection means designates the time at which this output torque has been achieved. At this time, as designated by the detection means, a series of voltages is output to the clutch comprising a first voltage or voltage sequence to ensure engagement of the clutch, a second lower voltage to rapidly reduce holding torque to induce clutch plate slippage, a third voltage to maintain a desired rate of slippage, and a fourth voltage, preferably the rated voltage of the clutch, to lock the clutch plates together.
