4.11 (Another method of manual brake adjustment)

Length design of manual brake cable of the vehicle is

fixed-length, it is possible to adjust effect of hand brake by

referring to disassembly part of rear brake, and achieve

adjustment of manual brake by adjusting length of jogger

(clockwise, loose; anticlockwise, tight).

5. Assembling step

Conduct assembly in contrary step of disassembling step.

Note: Please adjust parking brake after replaced shoe plate of brake or bracing wire of manual brake:
² Loosen parking brake handle
² Tread brake pedal once forcibly.
² Draw parking brake handle for four teeth.
² Fasten adjusting nut until these two wheels cannot be turned by hand.
² After completed abovementioned procedure, please loosen parking brake to check if two rear wheel can rotate

freely, or repeat the above adjustment procedure.

Section 5

Addition of brake fluid and air exhaust

1. Tools requirement

Diagnostic tools, 10# open end wrench.

2. General information

In case that air enters into brake system while repairing or replacing brake parts, please conduct complete exhaust

process. Before brake exhaust, please make cylinder pistons front and rear exhaust return to highest position, and

select using diagnostic tools to reset program in advance. In case diagnostic tools could not be used, please adopt

the second kind of program and conduct operation according to described order strictly.

In case that air enters because too low liquid level or disconnection of brake tube of primary cylinder, please

exhaust air in hydraulic systems of the four brakes; in case that brake tube or brake hose breaks from any

connectors between primary cylinder and brake, it is necessary to exhaust brake system relating to tube or hose

only.

3. Exhausting process of brake system

3.1

Exhausting step

1)

Lift and support vehicle properly.

2)

Assemble exhaust hose of transparent plastic on

exhaust valve of brake tongs.

3)

Immerge another side of exhaust hose of transparent

plastic to cleaning case that filled some clean brake

liquid.

4)

Tread the brake pedal for five to six times, open

exhaust valve to make brake fluid flow.

5)

Repeat the forth step all long until no bubble produces

from brake fluid, and feeling of treading brake pedal is

plenary, close exhaust valve.

6)

Disassemble exhaust hose made from transparent plastic from exhaust hose.

Note: Above steps adapt to exhaust of brake pipelines of all brakes.

3.2

Exhausting step of brake system is: left rear→right front→right rear→left front, for vehicle has ABS system,

please connect it to fault-diagnosing device and exhaust air from ABS system according to liquid adding and

air exhausting process.

3.3

Conduct exhaust with brake loop

Connect exhausting hose that has a container with exhausting valve of left rear brake tongs. Open exhausting valve,

and tread brake pedal to bottom in five times at least. Brake liquid flew from exhausting valve should be clear and

have no bubble, hold brake pedal at position of bottom and close exhausting valve. Release brake pedal, and

conduct same operation with brakes of other wheels.

3.4

Adding brake fluid

For ensuring reliability of running brake, do not forget to check fluid level of brake fluid every few time or after

exhaust of brake system, and add brake fluid in time if it is lacking.

Note:

(1) Please use brake liquid that assorts with standards regulated by DOT (use DOT4) only, do not use brake

liquid mixed with other type.

(2) Brake fluid has strong water absorption, please put it in sealed container of original packaging.

(3) Brake fluid has strong corrosiveness, if spatters it on skin in careless, please wipe brake fluid on skin with

water cloth and clean with soap and water. Brake fluid has strong corrosiveness to oil paint of vehicle body,

do not spatter brake fluid on lacquer finish of vehicle body, please clean it with water immediately after

spatter it on.

(4) Observe fluid level of brake fluid in fluid reservoir during air exhaust, and add in time if it is lacking.

(5) Repeat process of exhaust for several times during manual exhaust until air in brake system is exhausted

completely.

(6) Check if leakage is existing with brake system after liquid adding and exhaust are completed, and eliminate
