Know Before Service
1. The content of this chapter requires certain maintenance experience. It is recommended to check or repair with a qualified
maintenance organization.
2. Frequent inhalation of the dust generated by the brake pads, regardless of the composition, may have a certain impact on
health. Avoid breathing dust particles.
3. Do not use a blow gun or brush to clean the brake assembly, but a vacuum cleaner.
4. Avoid dripping the brake fluid on the paint surface of the cover or the surface of the parts. If it is accidentally splashed, it
needs to be rinsed with water immediately.
5. When disassembling the front disc brake main pump and the rear disc brake main pump, make sure that the brake fluid in the
oil cup is in a horizontal position. Do not turn it upside down to prevent air from entering, which will affect the braking effect. In
severe cases, it may cause the brake to fail and cause personal injury.
6. The steps for replacing brake fluid and exhausting air are the same. For detailed steps, see the section on brake fluid in the
"Maintenance" chapter.
7. When the brake pads or brake discs have oil stains, the braking force will be reduced. The contaminated brake pads should be
replaced, and the oil stains on the brake discs can be removed with a good-quality degreasing cleaner.
8. After removing the oil cup cover of the main pump, prevent dust and water from entering.
9. If you need to add brake fluid after maintaining the brake system, you must use the newly opened DOT4 brake fluid. Do not
mix with other brake fluids.
10. Switch to unplug the ABS hydraulic control unit when the vehicle is powered on. Excessive voltage may damage the hydraulic
control unit. The entire vehicle must be powered off before maintenance.
11. The hydraulic control unit is a precision part, and it is forbidden to disassemble it by non-professionals.
