Section 8 Fixing of Parking Brake 

 
8.1 Fixing of parking brake control assembly 
1. Place the parking brake control assembly where it is to 
be installed in the car body and screw tight with a screwing 
torque of 25±3N.m.  
2. Fixing of parking brake cable assembly 
(1) Screw off the front parking brake cable assembly, 
reel it around the guide rail of hand brake control 

079

assembly and screw on the bolts. 
(2) Lead the left brake cable assembly through the 
upper bracket of rear left brake caliper assembly, 
wedge it on the cable plate of the rear brake caliper and  
then fix onto the caliper retainer.   
(3) Screw the left conduit bracket assembly onto the left 
harness bracket with a screwing torque of 9-12N.m and  

080

then screw the remaining brackets of the hand brake 
cable assembly onto the car body with a screwing  
torque of 25±3N.m.  
(4) The fixing steps of right brake cable assembly are the 
same as those of left brake cable assembly.  
8.2 Adjustment of parking brake 
Parking brake is applied onto both rear wheels through 
the hand brake cable. As the disc brake assembly of rear 
steering knuckle is capable of automatic clearance  
adjustment, there is no need to adjust worn-out brake  
linings; only when hand brake cable is installed will the 
adjustment be necessary. The adjustment steps are: 
1. Release the hand brake; 
2. Step on the brake pedal hard to engage the brake pads 
and the brake disc closer together.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
3. Pull the hand brake handle over 6 ratchets.  

4. Screw tight until both wheels can’t be turned manually; 
release the hand brake and check if both wheels are  
turning freely.

8.3 Replace hand brake cable 
1. Take out the sundries box on the hand saddle.  
 
 
 
 
 
2. Release the adjusting bolts of hand brake

084

4. Release the hand brake cable 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

085

5. Release the 8 set bolts of left and right brake cables. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

6. Release the hand brake cables of sub-pump 

086

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
7. Release the retainer of the brake cable and pull 

087

out the brake cable.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
8. Adjust the hand brake to its normal position during  
reinstallation.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Section Nine Bleeding and Adding of Brake Fluid 

 
Tips: Bleeding of the brake system is 
necessary in the case of any maintenance 
or suspicion of air inflow in the brake 
pipe.  
1. Flush the whole brake system. 
Connect the bleeding hose incorporated 
with a container to the bleeding valve of 
the rear right brake caliper. Open the 
bleeding valve and add brake fluid until 
the outflowing brake fluid is clean and 
free of air bubbles. Close the bleeding 
valve. And then follow the same steps on 
the rear left, front right and front left 
wheel brakes.  

089

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2. The bleeding sequence of the brake 
system is as follows: 
Rear left →front  right →rear  right →
front left. If there is ABS system, 
connect with the trouble-shooting 
instrument and follow the bleeding steps 
to bleed the air in the ABS system.  
3. Bleeding of brake pipe circuit 
Connect the bleeding hose incorporated 
with a container to the bleeding valve of 
the rear left brake caliper. Open the 
bleeding valve, fully step on the brake 
pedal for a couple of times until the 
outflowing brake fluid is clean and free 
of air bubbles and then close the 
bleeding valve with the brake pedal kept 
fully stepped on. Release the brake pedal 
and follow the same steps on other 
wheel brakes.  
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
4. Adding of brake fluid 
Screw open the brake fluid tank and fill 
in brake fluid when the tank is running 
short of brake fluid during air bleeding. 
Check the brake fluid level after air 
bleeding and fill it to the proper level.  
Caution: (1) brake fluid shall comply 
with DOT standards (only DOT4 is 
applicable) and shall not be used 
together with other types of brake fluids. 
(2) Considering the relatively strong 
hygroscopic capacity of the brake fluid, 
it shall be kept within the original sealed 
container.  

088

(3) Brake fluid is toxic and skin and eye-
irritant. Flush with water if brake fluid is 
spilled into eyes and with water and soap 
if it is spilled onto skins; do not spill 
brake fluid onto car body surface as it is 
corrosive to the paint on car body; flush 
with water immediately in that case.  
(4) Closely observe brake fluid level 
during bleeding and fill in a timely 
manner.  
(5) Repeat the bleeding manually for 
several times until there is no air in the 
brake system, otherwise, brake pedal 
will not feel firm enough.  
(6) Check the sealing of the brake 
system after bleeding and adding of 
brake fluid and dispose of any leakage 
properly if any to avoid accidents.
