Primary Valve

The function of the primary valve is to regulate primary pressure, controlling the primary pulley, and changing the transmission ratio. The pressure in the primary cylinder defines the position of the primary pulley mobile half. The greater the distance between the pulley halves the smaller the primary radius of the belt and the higher the transmission ratio.
