BRAKE SYSTEM 507 BRAKES (c) Brake hose and Brake Pipe inspection (i) Flexible hose: The brake flexible hoses should be checked for road hazard damage, for cracks and chafing of the outer cover for leaks and blisters. If any of the above condition is found, respective hoses should be replaced. (ii) Brake Pipe : Inspect pipe for damage, cracks, dents and corrosion. If found any defect, replace the respective pipes. (d) Brake fluid level inspection Always use specified brake oil with correct quantity. Type = DOT3 SAE J1703 / IS8654 a b 1 1. Brake fluid reservoir Fluid level should always between MIN. and MAX. marked on reservoir. When warning light comes ON, top up fluid to MAX line. When fluid decreases quickly, inspect brake lines for any leaks and replace the defective parts and refill fluid to correct level. 3.2 PARKING BRAKE INSPECTION : Pull up parking brake lever with approximately 20- 25 kg force With parking brake lever pulled up, count ratchet notches in direction “a” as shown in figure. Parking brake lever stroke “a” = 5 - 6 notches Also check if both right and left rear wheels are locked firmly. To count number of notches listen to click sounds that ratchet makes while pulling parking brake lever without pressing its button. One click sound corresponds to one notch. If number of notches are out of specification, adjust parking brake cable (refer parking brake cable adjustment procedure) so as to obtain specified parking brake stroke. 3.3 Inspection of Booster Operation : NOTE: Before inspection, make sure that there is no air in the hydraulic system. (a) Check air tightness : (i) Start and stop engine, after running for 1 to 2 minutes. a
