ABSTRACT:
A method for coupling a load to a power source by means of a clutch, the method having the steps ofinitially increasing the pressure of the actuator to bring the pressure plates of the clutch into contact with the clutch platesgradually increasing the pressure of the actuator even further to allow the clutch plates to be engaged with the pressure plates while decreasing at least ones the pressure during a short time to create pressure dips such that the torque generated over the load is at least temporarily decreased, andlevelling the pressure of the actuator to maintain the engagement of the pressure plates with the clutch plates to allow the load to be driven by the power source.
