dition, the booster diaphragm may<br />

be damaged. Remove and overhaul<br />

the booster assembly.<br />

Check the condition of the air<br />

the air cleaner felt. A sticking<br />

HARD PEDAL—BOOSTER<br />

DIAPHRAGM RUPTURED<br />

Gasoline can get on the diaphragm<br />

from the intake manifold if the vac-<br />

uum check valve is defective or if<br />

hoses are not routed correctly,<br />

When a ruptured diaphragm is<br />

found, check for gasoline odor on<br />

the diaphragm. Gasoline will deteriorate<br />

the diaphragm and cause a<br />

premature failure.<br />

BRAKES DO NOT<br />

RELEASE<br />

In case of emergency, if a sticking<br />

control valve piston holds the brakes<br />

in an applied position, disconnect the<br />

booster vacuum line from the vac-<br />

uum check valve and install a pipe<br />

plug in the check valve opening,<br />

This permits the brakes to release,<br />

<strong>Manual</strong> application of brakes may<br />

then be made without assistance<br />

from the booster.<br />

Check the rear of the vacuum<br />

chamber for damage. This condition<br />

may also be caused by a sticking<br />

control valve piston, a faulty slave<br />

cylinder piston check valve, dirty<br />

brake fluid, a sticking slave cylinder<br />

piston, a sticking push rod, or a<br />

faulty check valve in the end cap.<br />

Remove and overhaul the booster.<br />
