  Operation 
 
The operation of the P-valve by the master cylinde
r 
pressure is unchanged up to the brake points 
A and B. 
  If master cylinder fluid pressure penetrates into the second
break point 
B, the fluid pressure pressing against the seal 
2, (which isolated route 4 and  route 5), passing the route 
4of the master cylinder side, overcomes the operating
force of the spring 
3 + fluid pressure affecting the seal 2of 
the wheel cylinder, and presses the piston 
1to the right 
side, resulting in the opening of the routes 
4 and 5, and
canceling of the P-valve operation. 
  Then, because the master cylinder fluid pressure and the
wheel cylinder fluid pressure, up to the point 
C, operate on 
the identical surface of the seal 
2, both have identical 
ascending ratio. 
  However, because of the operation of spring 
3 in the wheel 
cylinder side, wheel cylinder fluid pressure operate to
preserve the balance against the master cylinder fluid
pressure on the lower level with the difference in pressure 
resulting from this spring.

Valve Maintenance 
In the case of fluid leak or other abnormalities, faulty valve 
should be replaced. 
The valve is set up at the engine room. 
Note: 
The blend proportioning valve is not repairable and must 
be replaced as a complete assembly.

Filling Master Cylinder Reservoir 
CAUTION :  
Use only specified brake fluid.  Do not use any fluid which 
contains a petroleum base.  Do not use a container which 
has been used for petroleum based fluids or a container 
which is wet with water.  Petroleum based fluid will cause 
swelling and distortion of rubber parts in the hydraulic 
brake system. Water mixed with brake fluid lowers the 
fluid boiling point.  Keep all fluid containers capped to 
prevent contamination. 
Always fill the master cylinder reservoir when the engine 
is cold.  
Never allow the brake fluid to come in contact with the 
painted surfaces.  
The master cylinder reservoir must be kept properly filled 
to ensure adequate reserve and to prevent air and 
moisture from entering the hydraulic system. However, 
because of expansion due to heat absorbed from the 
brakes and the engine, the reservoir must not be 
overfilled.  Thoroughly clean reservoir cap before removal 
to avoid getting dirt into reservoir. Add fluid as required to 
bring level to the “MAX” mark on the reservoir tank. Use 
“DOT 3” Hydraulic Brake Fluid.  
 
Leakage of Brake Fluid 
With engine idling, set shift lever in the neutral position and 
continue to depress brake pedal at a constant pedal 
application force. 
Should the pedal stroke become deeper gradually, leakage 
from the hydraulic pressure system is possible. 
Make sure by visual check that there is no leak. 
 
 
  
 
BLEEDING OF THE BRAKE HYDRAULIC 
CIRCUIT 
If air enters the bake lines, it will cause poor brake action. 
Therefore, bleeding should be performed if the brakes have 
been used with the level of brake fluid in the reservoir 
excessively low or if brake pipes have been disconnected in 
the course of brake servicing. 
Bleeding operation calls for co-operative action of 2 persons. 
 
Set the parking brake firmly while bleeding. 
 
Perform bleeding operation with ENGINE RUNNING, to
prevent damage to push rod seal. 
 
Make sure exhaust is suitably ventilated. 
 
Bleed the hydraulic system with the fluid reservoir filled to
the specified level. 
 
Bleed the system starting with the rear wheel cylinde
r
farthest from the master cylinder.

5C-26  BRAKES
 
  
A bleeding operation is necessary to remove air from the 
hydraulic brake system whenever air is introduced into the 
hydraulic system. It may be necessary to bleed the hydraulic 
system at all four brakes if air has been introduced through a 
low fluid level or by disconnecting brake pipes at the master 
cylinder. If a brake pipe is disconnected at one wheel, only that 
wheel cylinder/caliper needs to be bled. If the pipes are 
disconnected at any fitting located between the master cylinder 
and brakes, then the brake system served by the disconnected 
pipe must be bled. 
 
1.  Set the parking brake completely, then start the engine. 
NOTE :  
The vacuum booster will be damaged if the bleeding operation 
is performed with the engine off. 
2.  Remove the master cylinder reservoir cap. 
  
3.  Fill the master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid. Keep the 
reservoir at least half full during the air bleeding operation 
4.  Always use new brake fluid for replenishment. 
5.  In replenishing rake fluid, take care that air bubbles do no
t
enter the brake fluid. 
 
  
  When the master cylinder is replaced or overhauled, firs
t 
bleed the air from the master cylinder, then from each
wheel cylinder and caliper following the procedures
described below. 
 
  
Bleeding the Master Cylinder 
6.  Disconnect the rear wheel brake pipe (1) from the master 
cylinder. 
  Check the fluid level and replenish as necessary. If 
replenished, leave the system for at least one minute. 
7.  Depress the brake pedal slowly once and hold it depressed.
8.  Completely seal the delivery port of the master cylinder with 
your finger, where the pipe was disconnected then release
the brake pedal slowly. 
9.  Release your finger from the delivery port when the brake
pedal returns completely. 
10. Repeat steps 7 through 9 until the brake fluid comes out o
f
the delivery port during step 7. 
NOTE : Do not allow the fluid level in the reservoir to go below 
the half-way mark. 
11. Reconnect the brake pipe (1) to the master cylinder and
tighten the pipe. 
12. Depress the brake pedal slowly once and hold it depressed.
13. Loosen the rear wheel brake pipe (1) at the master cylinder.
14. Retighten the brake pipe, then release the brake pedal
slowly.

27. After the bleeding operation is completed on the each
individual wheel, check the level of the brake fluid in the
reservoir and replenish up to the “MAX" level as necessary.
28. Attach the reservoir cap. 
29. Stop the engine.

BRAKE LINE (HOSES AND PIPES) 
  Inspect all hoses and pipes for wear, bending, chafing,
cracks, dents, or any other damage. 
  Make necessary correction or parts replacement if these
abnormal conditions are found through inspection. 
  All hoses, pipes and joints can be damaged easily. 
  Do not allow the hose to become excessively twisted and
bent when working with then, and pay special attention to all 
the brake lines not to damage them when repairing o
r
replacing other parts (axle, suspension, etc). 
  Inspection for leakage should be performed by depressing
the brake pedal fully. 
  If leakage is apparent at the circumference of joints, 
retighten or replace these parts. 
  This procedure must be performed whenever brake lines
are installed. 
 
After disconnecting the hoses and pipes, cap or tape the
openings to prevent entry of foreign material.
