It probably has a hydraulic clutch so you will have to bleed the air out of it.
An air assist hydraulic clutch uses compressed air to enhance the operation of a hydraulic clutch system. In this setup, air pressure helps to reduce the force needed to engage and disengage the clutch, making it easier for the driver to operate. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the hydraulic fluid moves to disengage the clutch, while the air assist provides additional support, allowing for smoother and quicker engagements. This system is often used in applications where quick shifting and lower pedal effort are desirable, such as in racing or heavy machinery.

hydraulics work because fluids are considered a non-compressible material. therefore when you put your foot down on the clutch pedal it pushes the hydraulic fluid pressure through the line to disengage the clutch. if there is air in the line the air bubble will compress (gases ARE compressible) and you will feel a "spongy pedal" and you will have to "pump" the clutch pedal to move that air bubble down the hydraulic line before you get a "good" clutch

It has a hydraulic clutch
There is no adjustment on your hydraulic clutch. Try pumping (quick stabs on the pedal with your foot) the clutch a few times and then push your clutch all the way in. If the clutch works better after pumping it, your slave cylinder is leaking and needs to be replaced. If there is no difference, you may need to bleed your hydraulic lines - if you have air in there, the air will compress unlike hydraulic fluid and your slave cylinder won't have the full range of motion.

When the clutch is in the engaged position, it typically maintains around 10 psi of residual pressure in the hydraulic clutch line. This pressure ensures that the hydraulic fluid is adequately primed, allowing for smooth engagement and disengagement of the clutch. It helps prevent air from entering the system, which can lead to performance issues. Maintaining this pressure is crucial for the proper functioning of hydraulic clutch mechanisms.
It is a hydraulic operated clutch.
Most hydraulic clutch systems do have a bleeder valve.
