Check Whether Brake Hose and Brake Pipe are Damaged and Their Installation States
●Check whether the brake hose, brake pipe and
accessories are corroded and whether there are cracks
or leaks.
○If the brake hose and brake pipe are not properly
maintained, the high pressure inside the brake pipe will
cause the leakage of brake fluid [A] or rupture of brake
hose and brake fo
rming pipe. When checking the
rubber hose, the pipe needs to be bent and twisted.
★If it is found that there is any crack [B], expansion
[C] or leakage on the brake hose or brake forming pipe,
it must be replaced.
●Tighten all the hollow bolts of brake hose.
Tightening torque of hollow bolt of brake hose: 30
N·m
Tightening torque of connecting nut of brake hose:
18 N·m
●Check the winding method of brake hose.
★If the winding methods of brake hose and brake pipe
are incorrect, arrange the brake hose and bra
ke pipe
according to the section in the “Accessory” chapter:
“Winding Method of Cable, Wire and Hose”.
