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.

Change of power steering liquid
1. Tear down the oil-returning hose from the oil cup to
drain the liquid into the container;
2. Run the engine in the idle status, and rotate the
steering wheel toward the max rotating angle for
several times in right or left direction while draining the
liquid, until the oil in steering liquid is drained up.
3. Turn off the engine.
4. Connect the oil-returning pipe and inject the new
power steering liquid in the liquid tank;
Hydraulic oil type: No.8 Liquid drive oil (Q/SH003.01.012-88)
5. Start the engine, and make it running in the idle status.
Rotate the steering wheel to the max rotating angle repeatedly
several times, meanwhile, supplement new power steering
liquid in the liquid tank until there is no foam or turbidities in
the liquid tank, and the oil indicating lamp reaches the marked
range when the engine is turned off.
6. Tighten the liquid tank cover
7. Exhaust the air in the power steering system;
Ai-r bleeding in power steering system
1. Check the liquid level height in the liquid tank
Check the liquid level and, if needed, supplement the liquid.
2. Start the engine in the idle status and rotate the
steering wheel repeatedly to the max rotating angle
several times.
3. Turn off the engine and connect the ethane pipe and
bleeding plug.
4. Start the engine and rotate the steering wheel
repeatedly to the max rotating angle several times.
5. Locate the steering wheel at the intermediate position.

6. Exhaust the air in steering system:
(a) Loosen the bleeding plug;
(b) Screw up the bleeding plug when there is no air bubble
exhausted from the pipeline.
Notice: take care not let the ethane pipe slide from the
bleeding plug, because the liquid is high in temperature
and pressure.
7. Check to see whether there is air bubble or turbidities
in the oil cup, and ensure the liquid level will not
exceed the max value when the engine stops,
Measure the liquid height under the condition of engine running,
then turn off the engine and measure the liquid height again.
In case any problem is found, repeat the approaches of (5) and
(6) in Power Steering Liquid Change. If the problem still
exists, repair the power steering oil pump.
