The hydraulic braking system consists of a master cylinder, disc brakes for the front wheels and drum brakes for the rear wheels. The braking system is divided into two chains acting diagonally. One braking circuit operates front-right/rear left, the other operates front-left/rear-right. Therefore, if one chain fails, one front wheel and the opposite rear wheel brake.
The pressure for both brake circuits comes from the brake master cylinder when the brake pedal is depressed.
Brake fluid for the entire brake system is supplied to the brake master cylinder from the brake fluid reservoir located on the reinforcement panel under the tool case.
The foot brake is automatically adjusted, so the installation of a brake system is only necessary during installation.
The handbrake acts through the rods from the cords on the brake pads of the rear wheels. The handbrake is adjusted by means of an equalizing lever.
Working on the brake system requires extreme cleanliness and precision. Therefore, if the necessary experience is not available, it is better to contact the workshop.
Note: When driving on very wet roads, apply the brakes from time to time to free the brake discs from dirt. Although water is thrown off by centrifugal forces, a thin layer of silicone, rubber particles, grease and dirt is partially left on the discs, which reduces the response of the brakes.
