SAFARI

BRAKES

Repeat the same procedure on the right front caliper,

left rear wheel cylinder followed by the rear right wheel

cylinder. Fig.37.

If the bleeding of any cylinder continues without

success for a considerable time, it may be that air is

being drawn in past the bleed screw threads. In such

instances, the bleed screw should be closed at the

end of each downward stroke of the pedal allowing

the pedal to return fully to its stop before reopening.

Tighten the bleed screw finally after the last downward

stroke of the pedal. Replace the dust cap on the bleed

screw.

After completion of bleeding, apply the brake pedal

hard and check for any leak at the joints and bleed

screws.

Also check the brake pedal for "sponginess". If found

spongy repeat the complete procedure of bleeding.

If pressure bleeding is done, the engine need not run.

But the sequence of bleeding operation should still be

left front - right front - left rear and right rear only.

Always use recommended brand of brake fluid.

Do not use the fluid bled from the system for refilling

in to the reservoir.

CAUTION :

Brake fluid may cause damage to paint.

So make sure that brake fluid does not

touch the painted surface. In case brake

fluid comes in contact with painted

surface, wipe immediately & clean the

surface.

Set brake light switch dimensions 3 + 0.5 and tighten

lock nut (Fig. 38)

Brake Fluid Level Inspection :

After completion of brake bleeding check the brake

fluid level in the reservoir. The fluid level should be

between MIN &MAX level indicated on the brake fluid

reservoir.

If the warning lamp glows during engine 'ON' condition

replenish fluid to MAX line Fig. 39.

Never use a container which has been used for mineral

oil or which is wet. Always keep all brake fluid

containers capped to prevent contamination.
