V45-0137

→ Fig.3    Connecting supply pipes to hydraulic unit and reservoir

  •     A -    Secondary piston circuit
    • Colour coding: green
    • Connect smaller diameter to top fitting on reservoir
  •     B -    Primary piston circuit
    • Colour coding: yellow
    • Connect larger diameter to bottom fitting on reservoir

Notes.

  • ◆ The supply pipe connections to the hydraulic unit have different diameters.
  • ◆ Colour coding on supply pipes -arrows- correspond to the colour coding of the hydraulic unit connections.
  • ◆ The supply pipes must be fitted as far as the stops on the hydraulic unit connections and at least 17 mm onto the reservoir connections.
  • ◆ First fit supply pipes to hydraulic unit, clip into retainer and then fit onto reservoir connection.
