Your life depends on the health of your brakes. This fact should not be overlooked when you are about to carry out repairs. Through targeted monitoring, you can ensure the safety of your machine and. hence protect yourself.
Brake operation
When you depress the brake pedal, a pushrod connected to the pedal presses on two pistons in series in the brake master cylinder in the engine compartment.
The pistons transmit force to the brake fluid. The hydraulic pressure thus generated in the liquid is transmitted through pipelines and hoses to the wheel cylinders
In these cylinders, the pistons push the brake pads against the brake discs or the brake pads against the drums.
The fluid pressure is transmitted to the brake cylinders via two independent circuits. One circuit actuates the brake mechanisms of the front left and right rear wheels, the other - the front right and rear left wheels.
In the event that one brake circuit fails, the other remains operational. If one front wheel does not brake, it can still be steered. Non-braking rear wheel allows you to move straight.
Instruction. If the brake circuit is out of order, it is necessary to press the brake pedal harder (while increasing pedal travel), to achieve the normal braking effect. In addition, the braking distance is lengthened.
