Abstract

An oil pass for communicating a hydraulic servo a change-over valve is provided with an orifice and a by-pass disposed parallel to one another. The by-pass is provided with a sequence valve. When the hydraulic servo is subjected to less than a predetermined pressure, the sequence valve communicates to the change-over valve and the hydraulic servo through the by-pass, and when the hydraulic servo is subjected to a pressure that is higher than the predetermined pressure, the sequence valve is cut off.
