DESCRIPTION
The
Datsun
1200
series
new
models
adopt
a
hydraulic
brake
Dis
brake
or
two
leading
shoe
type
drum
brake
is
used
for
the
front
wheels
and
leading
trailing
shoe
type
drum
brake
is
used
for
the
rear
wheels
With
adoption
of
the
disc
brake
safety
at
high
speed
range
driving
is
further
improved
For
the
master
cylinder
either
single
type
or
tandem
type
is
used
There
are
two
types
of
tandem
type
master
cylinder
one
is
for
disc
brake
and
the
other
for
drum
brake
Under
the
standard
specifications
h0wever
the
tandem
type
master
cylinder
is
used
for
disc
brake
and
single
type
is
used
for
drum
brake
The
tandem
master
cylinder
provides
a
dual
brake
system
improving
safety
The
hand
brake
is
of
a
mechanical
type
which
brakes
the
rear
wheels
through
the
control
lever
and
steel
wire
The
control
lever
is
located
between
the
driver
and
assistant
seats
and
can
be
operated
easily

MAINTENANCE
AND
SERVICE
Tire
inflation
Correct
tire
pressure
is
very
importan
t
to
ease
of
steering
and
riding
comfort
This
also
reduces
driving
sound
to
a
minimum
resulting
in
longer
tire
that
is
overinfla
lion
or
underinflation
promotes
wear
at
center
tread
or
shoulder
of
tire
If
all
tires
are
inspected
frequently
and
maintained
correct
tire
pressure
it
is
possible
to
detect
sharp
material
in
the
tread
Also
the
above
check
avoids
abnormal
wear
which
invites
serious
trouble
If
tires
indicate
abnormal
or
uneven
wear
the
cause
of
trouble
should
be
detected
and
eliminated
After
inflating
tices
leakage
in
valve
should
be
check
cd
Without
valve
caps
leakage
will
occur
due
to
dirt
and
water
resulting
in
underinOation
Accordingly
whenever
tire
pressure
is
checked
be
sure
to
secure
valve
caps
and
tighten
firmly
by
hand
Tubeless
tire
repair
In
urder
to
inspect
a
leak
apply
soapy
solution
to
tire
or
submerge
tire
and
wheel
in
the
water
after
inflating
tire
to
specified
pressure
Special

INSPECTION
Wheel
balance
The
wheel
and
tire
assembly
should
be
kept
balanced
statically
and
dynamically
Proper
tire
balance
is
necessary
when
driving
the
car
at
high
speeds
Consequently
the
wheel
and
tire
assembly
should
be
properly
rebalanced
whenever
puncture
is
repaired
The
wheel
and
tire
assembly
becomes
out
of
balance
according
to
uneven
tire
wear
Severe
acceleration
and
braking
or
fast
cornering
is
the
cause
of
wear
on
tire
resulting
in
unbalance
of
tire
and
wheel
assembly
The
symptom
of
unbalance
appears
as
tramp
car
shake
and
steering
trouble
To
correct
unbalance
use

wheel

In
order
to

condition
as

life
proceed
as
follows
I
Check
wheel
rim
especially
rim
flange
and
bead
seat
for
rust
distortion
cracks
or
other
defects
which
might
cause
air
leaks
Function
of

tire
depends
on
a
good
seal
between

rim
Thoroughly
remove
rust
dust
oxidized
rubber
or
sand
from
wheel
rim
with
wire
brush
emery
cloth
or
paper
Use
dial

to
examine
