The help at malfunctions

Malfunction	Its reasons	Your help
A. Brakes pull on the one hand	1. Pressure in tires unequal 2. The drawing of a protector is erased unevenly 3. Are polluted, slips "glazed over" or are unevenly erased 4. Guides of slips in a brake support are polluted or rusted 5. Rusted pistons in brake supports or in wheel brake cylinders 6. Brake disks are strongly scratched or too thin 7. Brake hoses inflated from within	Level at cold tires Change tires Replace Clean Restore a free wheeling or replace Replace brake disks Replace hoses
B. Brakes squeal	1. Not those slips are established 2. Dust or dirt on disk brakes or in drum brakes 3. See. And 4–6	Establish original slips Dismantle slips (block), remove dust and dirt
C. Brakes roar	1. In a brake disk a dent 2. The brake disk is strongly scratched	Replace Replace
D. One or all brakes of wheels strongly heat up	1. The compensating opening in the main brake cylinder got littered 2. There is no gap between a brake pedal (press a rod) and pistons of the main brake cylinder 3. Brake supports rusted 4. The emergency brake is not completely switched-off	Clean Adjust Repair in a workshop Check brake cables and brakes of back wheels
E. Too big reserve of the course of a pedal, a pedal is wrung out softly and springs	1. Air in the brake system 2. The brake system is untight 3. The main brake cylinder is faulty 4. At strong load of brakes vials of steam in too old brake fluid are formed 5. See. And 5	Pump over the brake system Carry out an inspection of system on tightness Replace Replace brake fluid
F. Bad effect of braking by strong pressing a pedal	1. Normal free wheeling of a pedal: slips were made oily or "zasteklenet" 2. Short free wheeling of a pedal: the brake amplifier is faulty 3. Long free wheeling of a pedal: one brake contour owing to tightness violation failed	Replace Check Check, replace the damaged details
G. Unilateral or weak brake effect of the emergency brake	1. See points in And 2. The brake cable rusted 3. The adjusting mechanism is faulty	Replace Check
