Operation test of vacuum booster
Remark: check the operation of vacuum booster with the
vacuum booster tester if workable.
1.Operation inspection
(a) Before starting the engine, tread down the brake pedal
several times, and check the pedal reservation distance to
ensure there is no change occurs.
(b) Tread down the brake pedal and start the engine. If the
treaded pedals continue to move downward, which means
the operation is normal.
1. Inspection on Air-tight
(a) Start the engine for 1-2 min and then turn it off. Then
tread down the brake pedal slowly for several times, if the
pedal move downward continuously in the first, but
return gradually in the second or third time, which means
the vacuum booster has a good air-tight.
(b) Tread down the brake pedal when the engine is working,
then stop the engine, but tread the pedal down. If the
reservation distance doesnít change within the 30 seconds,
which shows the air tight of vacuum booster is good.
Air-bleeding of braking system
Remark: air-bleeding is required if any operation for braking
system is conducted or the pipe line is doubted to have air.
1. Fill the oil cup with the brake liquid
Check the liquid level of oil cup after the air in each wheel
brake pump is exhausted. If necessary, add the brake liquid.
2. Connect the vinyl resin pipe with the vent screws.
Insert the other end of pipe into the container with half brake
liquid.
Remark: the air-bleeding shall begin from the longest pipe line
when the wheel-brake cylinder is exhausting the air.
3. Air exhaust of the pipe line in braking system
(a) Tread down brake pedal slowly several times.
(b) Loosen the vent screws until the brake liquid flows out
while letting the assistant tread down the pedal. Then
screw up the vent screws.
(c) Repeat this approach until there is no air in the liquid.
4. Repeat the approach for the wheel-brake cylinder.

Brake pad change
Remark: Check the thickness of the friction material of brake
pad through the observation hole on caliper body after the
vehicle covers thirty thousand; if the thickness fails to fall
within the specified range, change is required. (If the brake is
used often, the thickness of friction materials of brake
pad is required to check whether it is within the specified
range after the vehicle covers more than ten thousand,
if not, change it.
1. Tear down the front wheel;
2. Check the thickness of friction material of brake pad:
Check the thickness of friction material of brake pad through
the observation hole on caliper body, if it fails to be within the
specified range, change it.
Min thickness: 2.0mm
3. Raise the wheel-brake cylinder:
(a) Tear down the short bolts of sliding sleeve;
(b) Uplift the wheel brake pump and hang it with rope to
protect the brake oil pipe.
Remark: Do not loosen the brake oil pipe and the bleeding plug.
4. Tear down the following parts:
(a) Two braking pads;
(b) Two silent pad clusters;
(c) Four braking pad lock plates.

5. Brake disc measurement
(See page BR-17)
6. Measure the radial run-out of the brake disc;
(See BR-18)
7. Mount the lock plate of brake pad.
8. Mount the new brake pad.
(a) Mount the silent pad cluster on brake pads of both the
inner and outer sides;
Remark: Pollution of oil stain or coat is not allowed on the
work faces of brake pad or brake disc.
(b) Draw out a little brake liquid from the liquid container to
prevent the brake liquid overflowing from the liquid
container;
(c) Press in the piston with the hammer lever or similar tool.
9. Mount the wheel-brake cylinder;
Mount and screw up the hex bolts (the hex bolts shall be coated
with the thread locking sealing agents.
Fastening torque(38-50)Nm
Remark: only one brake pad can be changed in one time so as
to prevent the piston of other wheel being shot out.

2. Tear down the piston dust cover snapping ring and the
piston dust cover;
Tear down the piston dust cover snapping ring and the piston
dust cover with screwdriver.
3. Tear down the piston from the wheel-brake cylinder:
(a) Put a wooden plate between the piston and the caliper
body.
(b) Tear down the piston from wheel-brake cylinder with the
compressed air.
Warning: Do not put your finger in front of the piston when
using the compressed air.
4. Tear down the piston sealing ring from the caliper body.
Tear down the piston sealing ring with bent needle.
Notice: the tools used shall not be sharp so as not to
scrape the piston sealing ring.
Check the front brake parts
1. Measure the thickness of brake pad liner;
Standard thickness10.0mm
Min thickness2.0mm
If the thickness is less than the min thickness or is unevenly
worn; change the brake pad.
2. Measure thickness of brake disc
Standard thickness25.0mm
Min thickness23.0mm
If the brake disc is scraped, repair it, if the brake is serious
worn to the degree that its thickness is less than the min thickness,
brake disc requires to be changed Braking SystemFront Brake (Dr)

3. Measure the bouncing value of the brake disc face;
Remark: verify the bearing is aligned correctly before
measuring.
The bouncing value of max face: 0.11mm
4. Change the brake disc according to the requirements
(a) Tear down the calipers body from the steering knuckle.
(b) Tear down the hub and the brake disc (See Page SA-11).
(c) Mount the new brake disc and screw up the connecting
bolts according to the specified torque.
Fastening torque(6079)N.m
(d) Mount the hub and brake disc assembly (see page SA-12);
(e) Mount the caliper bracket on the steering knuckle and
screw up the bolts according to the specified torque.

Cylinder Assembly of Wheel-brake
1. Preparation
All parts shall be washed, dried and cleared away the alien
materials before the assembly. And coat moderate vacuum
silicon base grease on the work faces of sliding sleeve dust
cover, sliding sleeve and the sliding liner; and plaster the
moderate rubber lubricant on the work faces of piston, piston
dust cover and the rectangular sealing ring.
2. Encase the piston sealing ring and piston in the caliper body;
(a) Screw the vent screw in the vent hole of calipers.
Fastening torque(813)N.m
(b) Coat moderate rubber lubricant on the work face rectan-
gular sealing ring and encase the caliper body in groove.
(c) Encase the piston in the caliper body.
