Brake Systems
WARNING! Please, remember that the stopped engine and the
disabled vacuum booster increase the effort necessary for pushing
the brake pedal to stop the motor vehicle.
WARNING! If one of the brake circuits is broken, pedal travel
is increased and breaking efciency is decreased. In this case do
not make short-time multiple pedal pushes, instead push the pedal
until maximum efciency breaking.
If the brake system is broken, it is not permitted to drive it or
to tow it with a tow-rope. In this case use two wheel towing or a
tow truck service.
WARNING! Brake uid is poisonous. Keep it in a tightly
closed container. While working with it follow these rules:
– avoid any operations as a result of which the liquid can enter
into the mouth cavity;
– do not let the uid dry out on the skin; wash it off with soap
and warm water;
– ush the spilled uid with water, air the room;
– take off the clothes, contaminated with the uid, dry it outside
the room, and wash it.
The level of brake uid in tank 3 (see Fig. 9.20) can be checked
visually with the marks on the tank housing made of semitrans-
parent plastic. When the cap is off and the brake linings are new,
uid level should be on MAX mark. If the brake hydraulic drive
is in good order, reduced level of the tank uid is connected with
the wear of the brakes shoes linings. Reducing of the uid level
to MIN mark indicates its maximum wear. In this case, control
the linings condition as installation of new linings heightens the
uid level in the tank up to normal.
The brake uid warning light comes on when the uid level
falls lower than MIN mark, which indicates that if the brake shoe
linings are new or partially worn, the system is non-hermetic or
the uid is leaking. In this case, add the uid only after all leak-
ages are eliminated.
