- the sealing of the depression pipe
at the servobrake, consequently at
the vacuum pump (inlet manifold).

I. FAILURE : RIGID PEDAL (ctd)
One of the rigid
brake pipes is it
smashed ?
Dismount the brake caliper or
the brake cylinder?
Replace the corresponding rigid
pipe.
Ar e the br a ke
caliper’s pistons or
the cylinders ones
correctly gliding ?
STOP
Replace the defective parts
(with Genuine Spare Parts)
Replace t he brake pads, conse-
quently the brake shoes (see
bellow situations).Are the brake pads,
consequently the shoes
gas ket in good condit ion?
The brake linings are to be replaced when
they are: -greasy -shiny
-not in accordance with the
manufacturer ’s prescriptions (genuine Spare
Pa rts have not been used).

II. FAIL URE : LONG PEDAL
When braking, the brake pedal is slowly moving.
Perform a test with the stopped engine, after previously
performing five successive pushing on the brake pedal
(in order to vacuum the servobrake).
Locate and repair or replace the
item where a brake fluid leak is
established.
Ye s
No
Is the br ak e f luid level
lower compared to
the r e quired o ne?
Replace the brake pump, because the pressure gas-
ket (sealing) between the primary circuit and the sec-
ondary circuit is defective.

I. CO NSTANT EFFECT TO THE PEDAL
EFFECTS
T ough pedal:
High effort for small deceleration.
Elastic pedal
In order to di agnose, an i ncident where
the use was normal is to be analyzed and two
tests are to be pe rformed:
1. While driving the vehicle :
Interpretation test: pedal stroke/ deceleration
rate.
2. While vehicle i s stopped, engine c ut.
A dditional test of brake pedal press:
Pe rform five c onsecutive pressings on the
brake pedal in order to vacuum the
servobrake, before taking into consideration
the test result.
Long pedal
The test i s to be performed with stopped
vehicle and cut engine.
REMARK:
It is neces sary to perform five
consecutive pressings on the brake pedal,
in order to vacuum the servobrake before
taking into consideration the test result.
Floor pedal
The test i s to be performed with stopped
vehicle and cut engine.
REMARK :
Perform five consecutive pressings on
the brake pedal, i n order to vacuum the
s ervobrake before takin g into
consideration the test result. POSSIBLE CAUSES
- Assi stance defect
- Brake linings:
- greasy
- stacking to t he disk ( non-c onform )
- heating, prolonged bra king with c onstant
pedal press
- Stuck piston
- R igid duct narrowed (flattening)
- Air presence in the circuit: defective purging
- Internal leak in the braking circuit.
- Leak of fluid from reservoir (external fluid
leak from braking circuit).
Automatic adjustment : ha nd brake c able too
tighten. - Important and asymmetric wear of the
b rake linings
- St roke too ample between the servobrake
pushing rod and the brake pump
- Brake fluid having high temperature.
- Hydraulic l eak (check the sealing of the
b raking system components)
- Sealing gaskets defects of the two brake
pump circuits.
- Brake fluid having high temperature

II. CONSTANT EFFECT AT BEHAVIOUR
EFFECTS
Brakes not accomplishing the required
b raking distance
Vibrating brakes
When braking, the vehicle ( front part)
is left/right deviating
Braking
Heating brakes POSSIBLE CAUSES
- Non-uniform worn brake linings (backing
off);
- Brake l inings slightly gr eased;
- Springs with modified characteristics.
- Brake disks with high wobbling;
- Inconstancy brake disks width;
- Particles abnormal deposit on brake disks
(oxidation between linings and disk).
- Front axle suspension, steering (to be
checked);
- Stuck piston;
- Tires – wear, inflation pressure;
- R igid duct narrowed (flattening).
- Stuck piston;
Automatic adjustment : hand brake cable very
tighten.
REMARK :
Automatic recovering is performed by
means of the brake pedal, if there is no ab-
no rm al t ensi on in the hand brake cable
when released (hand brake released).
- Return spring.
- Insufficient hydraulic stroke of the brake
pump, not allowing the return at rest of the
brake pump pistons ( brake pump remaining
under pressure);
- St uck pistons or hardly returning;
- R igid duct narrowed (flattening);
- Def ective adjustment of the hand brake
control.
