The

has
certain
additional

features

These
include
a

power
valve
mechanism
to

improve
the

performance

at

high

a

valve
which
cuts
the
fuel

supply

when
the

ignition

is
turned
to

and
an

Testing

Disconnect

hose
from

Connect

a
hose
with

an
inner
diameter
of
approximately
6
mm
0

in
to

the

pump
outlet
and

place
a

container
under
the
end
of

the

pipe
Note
that
the
inner

diameter
of
the

pipe
must
not
be

too

small
or

the
pipe
will
be

incapable
of

delivering
the
correct

quantity
of
fuel
when

testing
Hold
the
end
of
the
hose
above
the

level
of
the

pump
and

operate
the

pump
for
more
than
IS

seconds
to
check
the

The

capacity
should
be

U

pts
in

less
The

pump
must

be
removed
from
the
vehicle
if
it
does
not

operate
or
if
a

reduced

quantity
of
fuel
flows
from
the
end
of
the
hose
Remove

the
pump
from
the
vehicle
and
test
as
follows

Connect
the

pump
to
a

fully
charged
battery
If
the

pump

now

operates
and

discharges
fuel

correctly
the
fault
does
not

lie
in
the

pump
but

may
be
attributed
to

any
of
the

following

causes

Battery
voltage
drop

poor
battery
earth
loose

wiring

loose
connections
blocked
hoses
or
a

faulty
carburettor

If
the

pump
does
not

operate
and

discharge
fuel
when

connected
to
the

battery
then
the

pump
itself
is

faulty
and

must
be
checked
as
follows

First
make
sure
that
current
is

flowing
This
will
be
indica

ted

by
sparking
at

the
tenninals
If
current
flows
the
trouble
is

caused

by
a

sticking

pump
plunger
or

piston
The

pump
must

be
dismantled
in

this
case
and
the

parts
thoroughly
cleaned
in

petrol

If

the
current
does
not
flow
a
coil
or
lead
wire
is
broken

and
the

pump
must

be
renewed
A

reduced
fuel
flow
is
caused

by
a

faulty

or

or

The

DESCRIPTION

The
vehicle
is
fitted
with
disc
brakes
for
the
front
wheels

and
leading
trailing
shoe

type
drum
brakes

for
the
rear
wheels

A
conventional

single
master

cylinder
is
fitted
to

the

Standard
and
DeLuxe
models
See

Fig
D
I
for
details
The

DeLuxe
models
are
however
additio

ally
equipped
with
a

Master
Vae
servo

unit
which

provides
a

much
higher
braking

performance
with
minimum
force

required
on
the
brake

pedal

A
tandem
master

cylinder
and
Master
Vac
servo
unit
are

fitted
as
standard

equipment
to
the
Datsun
CL30UA
and
CL3

OUT
models
Fig

gives
an

exploded
view
of
this

type
of

master

cylinder

The
handbrake
is
of
the
mechanical
type
with
the
handle

linked
to
the
rear
shoe

operating

lever
through
a
system
of

rods
and
wires
See

As
on

previous
models
a

brake

pressure

warn

ing
light
switch
is

incorporated
with
dual
brake
circuits
The

front
and
rear
brake

systems
are
connected
to
the
switch
which

provides
a

warning
via
a

warning

on
the

BRAKE
Friction

pads

The
disc

are
self

adjusting
but
the
friction

pads

should
be
checked
for

6
000
un
4
000
miles

and
then

every
5
000
km
3
000

The

pads
must
be

replaced
if
the
friction

lining
on

any
pad
has
worn
to
less
than

1
0
mm
0

The
thickness
of
the

pads
can

easily
be
checked
after
