Components

Areas of Importance

1.  During removal, all components should be gently handled to avoid knocking, especially the junction 

surface. All components should be placed in order to avoid losing or taking the wrong parts.

2.  Keep all parts clean and free of dust, scuffs, rust, corrosion, oil build-up, or any other contaminants.

3.  All rubbing surfaces in a relative motion must be coated with  lubricant.

4.  During installation, strictly adhere to the standard torque for installing nuts.

5.  While installing the return spring, be careful to avoid operator injury from it bouncing back.

Disassembly of the brake pedal assembly

1.  Remove the lock nut with an outer hexagonal wrench.

2.  Remove the pedal shaft.

Caution:  Please do not place the pedal shaft directly 

on the ground, as to guarantee its cleanness.

3.  Remove the brake pedal assembly.

Caution:  Set it down gently to avoid damaging its 

surface finish.

4.  Remove the pedal pad, bushing, and limiting stopper 

from the pedal lever assembly.

Caution:  Ensure cleanliness of the entire set's surface.

Installation of the brake pedal assembly

1.  Apply lubricant on the inside of the axle tube-brake 

pedal and the outside of the bushing, then install the 

bushing into the axle tube-brake pedal.

2.  Install the pedal pad and limiting stopper to the pedal 

lever.

3.  Apply lubricant on the inner bushing and the outer 

pedal shaft. Install the pedal lever assembly, pedal 

shaft, and brake pedal bracket welding assembly.

4.  Put on a nut, and tighten the nut and spring washer 

using a 30 N·m torque.

Brake pedal examination and adjustment

1.  Check if the pedal height is correct.

Height between pedal and the lower cowl panel: 109 mm

Pedal push rod's working empty stroke: 2 mm

2.  Adjust pedal height if necessary.

(a)  Disconnect the brake lamp's switch wire connector, 

loosen  the  lock  nuts,  rotate  the  brake  switch  and 

unscrew it until no contact with the brake pedal's 

limiting stopper.

(b)  Loosen the control rod lock nut and use combination 

pliers to rotate the control rod and adjust the brake 

pedal height to its standard value. After arriving at the 

standard value, tighten the lock nut, and make sure the 

working empty stroke of the pedal push rod is 2 mm.

(c)  Rotate the brake lamp's switch and push it in until it 

barely contacts with the brake pedal limiting stopper, 

continue rotating 1/2-1 circle, then tighten the lock nut.

(d)  Connect the brake lamp's switch wire connector.

(e)  When the brake pedal is loose, the brake lamp should 

be off.

3.  Inspect the pedal free play.

When the engine is off, step on the brake pedal two to three 

times, after the brake booster's influence is removed, push 

the brake pedal by hand until resistance is felt, then measure 

its movement (free play). Should satisfy standard value 

regulation.

Pedal free play:  6-9 mm

4.  Adjust pedal free play if necessary.

(a)  If the stroke value is incorrect, rotate the pedal push 

rod to adjust the free play.

(b)  Start the engine to confirm the pedal free play.

(c)  After adjusting the pedal free play, check the pedal 

height.

(d)  The relative height gap between the brake pedal and 

the clutch pedal is 0-8 mm.

(e)  The relative height gap between the brake pedal and 

the accelerator pedal is 45±5 mm.

5.  When the clearance between the brake pedal shaft 

and the bushing is too big, one should remove and re-

place the pedal.

6.  As shown, check if the pedal's remaining distance is 

correct.
