ADJUSTMENT OF TH E BRAKE PRESSURE CONTROLLER FOR
THE PARALLEL BRAKING SYSTEM
Imposed conditions : -the vehicle on wheels
- empty trunk
- one person on board
ADJUSTMENT METHOD
Mount the flexible connection of the FR 501 device at the purging screw of one rear wheel
cylinder. Purge the manometer.
Push the brake pedal to enable reading several times the limiting pressure obtained on the
rear wheels cylinders.
Unscrew the adjustment nut ( A) to distance it from the pushing rod end (B ).
A ct upon the rod end ( B):
- by unscrewing it towards the pushing rod ( C ) in order to increase the pressure in the
rear circuit;
-by screwing it towards the pushing rod (C ) in order to decrease the pressure in the rear
circuit.
Tighten to the required moment ( 0.15 damn) the adjustment nut (A) locked with the pushing
rod end ( B) so that between the lever end a nd the lever ( D) a c learance of L = 0.5 mm to be
ensured.

40Carriage body checking GENE
RAL
The checking / straightening bench type CELETTE (service code CAR 500) is composed of
: - CAR 501 (1 m obile bench with four wheels, four parts for ve hicle a nchoring, one
traction arm of 10 t, t ype CAIMAN). - CAR 502 – set modular cross bars;
- CAR 503 – set of 22 towers MZ;
- CAR 504 - set accessories for t raction ;
- CAR 505 - set of specific supports for DACIA Berline, Bre ak.
- CAR 506 - set of specifi c supports for DACIA 1304, 1307
- CAR 507 - set of specifi c supports for DACIA Nova/SupeRNova /SOLENZA.
1. CAR 501
The mobile bench (1) is provided with four anchoring parts (2) - (fig 1 ), which can be used when
a carriage body straightening operation is performed.

40Carriage body checking
To straighten the vehicle body, CELETTE bench is provided with a traction arm of 10
tons, Caiman type, 250-mm stroke of the hydraulic cylinder, with rapid anchorage on any side
of the mobile bench (pict. 2).
2. CROSS BARS MODULAR SET ( CAR 502)
CELETTE bench has in its composition, five modular cross bars (pict.3), as follows:
- two front cross bars A and B (T shaped) which are always in the same position
(towards front of bench) – fig 4 .
- two straight cross bars C1 and C2 and one D cross bar (U-shaped) which may be
placed in different positions subject to the vehicle type.
The m arked figures (14…36) are engraved on t he m obile bench, every mounting being
s upplied with a drawing i ndicating the e xact position of the m odular crossbars subject to the
vehicle type.

3. TRACTION ACCESSORIES SET ( CAR 504)
CELETTE bench is equipped with a traction accessories set CAR 504, which allows the op-
erator to achieve different anchoring when a body strengthening is performed (pict. 5).
4. SET OF MZ TOWERS AND SPECIFIC SUPPORTS ( CAR 503 +CAR 507)
This kit represents a MZ system and consists of two elements: - kit of 22 MZ t owers, universal CAR 503 – (see pict. 6);
- kit of specific supports CAR 507. Each MZ tower has an arrow, which settles
its orientation on the cross bar and a MZ
reference (fig 7) Example – MZ 080, where:
MZ - measurement on OZ axle of the vehicle,
080 – MZ tower height (in mm).
In the same way as f o r COMPAC T
assembly , the arrow (1) marked on the specific
support must be oriented towards the bench
front part, as follows: -attachment on the right part of the
mobile bench; - attachment on the left part of
the mobile bench.
REMARK :
The MZ tow ers may be used also for the checking/ straightening of the carriage
bodies of other vehicles types, being then necessary the purchasing of the specific
supports for each type of vehicle.

one or two attachments holes ( 3) in the MZ
tower (in this case you should take into
consideration the specific diagram from the
assembly drawing supplied together with the
kit. Symbols:
1 – with or without dismounted mechanical
elements. 4 – with dismounted mechanical elements.
REMARK :
I dent i ficat ion and m ount ing of t he
towers on different modular cross bars
and of the specifi c supports in the MZ
towers (1…20), when repairing a carriage
body, is to be performed as per mounting
drawing (pict.8 and pict.9) which is
supplied together with this kit.

REPLAC EMEN T
This operation shall be performed only on the repair/checking bench.. For the specific sup-
ports mounting on the bench, please see the 40 chapter.
DISMOUNTIN G
Dismount the damaged elements, which are
in contact with the rear longitudinal girder. Proceed to a straightening on the body
checking/ straightening until bringing the ve-
hicle as closed as possible to the initial shape.
D etach the welding points of the rear
longitudinal girder (1), which are i n contact
with:
- central floor in the area ( 2);
- rear floor in the are a ( 3);
- rear extreme cross member in the area ( 4);
- tank front cross member in the area ( 5);
- tank rear cross member in the area ( 6);
- inner wheel passage in the area ( 7);
- rear towing hock in t he area ( 9).
Detach the welding points between the rear
s ide cross member, re ar floor a nd threshold
closing plate in the area ( 8).
Strai ghten the areas resulted after dismounting.
Grind the areas resulted after dismounting.
R EMOUNTIN G
Position and center the new element by
means of the repairing bench. Weld the rear longitudinal girder following
the assembling outlines 2,3,4,5,6,7, 8 and
9(spots and under gas protection welding) Grind the performed welding.
Protect the performed welding with an
anticorrosive product.
Protect the replaced element with a noise
absorbent product. Mount the co nn ect i on e l eme n ts b y
performing the dismounting operations in the
reverse order.
