Brake Master Cylinder: Description and Operation
Master Cylinder
The master cylinder is designed for use in a diagonal-split system. One front and one diagonally opposite rear brake are served by the primary piston.
The opposite front and rear brakes are served by the secondary piston. The master cylinder incorporates the functions of the standard dual master
cylinder, plus a low fluid level indicator and the proportioning valves in the non-antilock braking system. The proportioning valves limit the outlet
pressure to the rear brakes after a predetermined master cylinder pressure has been reached.
CAUTION:
^
Replace all the components included in the repair kits used to service this master cylinder.
^
Lubricate rubber parts with clean brake fluid to ease assembly.
^
Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts, as this may damage rubber components.
^
If any hydraulic component is removed or disconnected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of the brake system.
^
The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.
^
Perform all service operations on a clean bench, free from all traces of mineral oil.
