Service Intervals for the Brake System

1. Check the brake fluid level every week Fluid reservoir 1 is translucent and the level should be between the marks "Min" And "max", located on the wall of the tank. If necessary, the fluid level must be topped up. During operation, due to wear of the friction linings of the brake pads and the extension of the brake pistons associated with this, the level may slightly decrease. However, this is not a signal for fluid supplementation. In the event of a large deficiency, it is necessary to immediately find and eliminate the cause of fluid leakage.

2. Every six months it is necessary:

A) Check the correct operation of the liquid level alarm system in the tank. This is done by unscrewing and removing the cap of the tank 5 with the sensor 6. The sensor must be placed on a clean material so that the float is lowered.

Caution: Brake fluid corrodes paintwork. If necessary, liquid stains must be wiped off with a damp cloth. The electrical wire clamp must be installed at the end of the plug. At the same time, the control lamp on the dashboard should light up. After tightening the plug at a normal liquid level, the lamp should go out.

Attention: While cutting through the fluid level sensor, the handbrake lever must be lowered and the key turned to the ignition on position". The vehicle must be protected from rolling (if it's tilted), put wedges under the wheels.

b) After checking the operation of the liquid level sensor, it is also necessary to check, when the ignition is switched on, whether the hand brake puff alarm is active. While sitting in the car, apply the handbrake. After lifting the lever up, the light should light up, and after lowering it, it should go out.


V) Check the effectiveness of the hand brake.

After removing the wedges from under the wheels, it is necessary to start the engine and tighten the hand brake. At the same time, it should be impossible to move off in first gear at idle. Otherwise, it is necessary to check whether the lever is tightened to the stop. Then resume trying to move off. If it was possible to tighten the lever by the sixth tooth, it is necessary to adjust the length of the handbrake cables.

3. Every 15,000 km or every 12 months you must:

A) Check the condition of pipes and hydraulic connections. In case of detection of smudges, cracks, abrasions, traces of corrosion on the brake pipes, it is necessary to replace the damaged pipes.

Caution: All flexible tubes, regardless of condition, must be replaced after five years.

b) Check that all brackets securing the nozzles are well fixed. The relaxation of the brackets causes the nozzles to vibrate, causing them to crack.

V) Check the condition of the brake pads. If their thickness is less than or slightly greater than the minimum thickness (7 mm) (along with the metal part), specified in the technical data, the pads must be replaced. Please note that with every 1000 km, the lining thickness decreases by about 0.5 mm.

G) Check servo operation. To do this, press the brake pedal several times so that the reduced pressure disappears on both sides of the diaphragm. Press the brake pedal with a little force until the first resistance. Hold the pedal in this position and start the engine. If the vacuum booster is working properly, the pedal should go down as little as possible after starting the engine. Obtaining similar braking performance with a damaged servo requires the driver to apply much more force, so the damaged servo must be replaced.

4. Every five years it is necessary to replace the brake fluid in the entire system.
