may also cause this condition. In ad-<br />
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 />

Check for an obstructed air clean- draulic fluid. Clean or replace darner,<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 />
