Hydraulic drive reservoir device (VAZ-2101)

The reservoir is a common reservoir for both circuits of the brake hydraulic drive. To ensure independent supply of fluid to each circuit, a partition is made in the housing 10 (Fig. 137) of the reservoir, and in the lower part of the housing there are two tips for connecting hoses from the master cylinder.



The tank body is made of translucent plastic, which allows you to visually control the liquid level.

A cover 9 is screwed onto the filler neck of the tank, which presses the housing 7 of the terminal device and the reflector 3 to the end of the neck. A device for monitoring the liquid level in the tank is mounted in the housing 4. It consists of a float 1, on the rod 2 of which a movable contact 6 is located, and a fixed contact 5, fixed in a plastic housing 4.

When the liquid level drops, the float drops, the contacts close the circuit of the control lamp, which lights up with a constant light.

In the central opening of the housing 7 of the terminal device, a pusher 8 is installed, when pressed, the operability of the control lamp circuit is checked at a full liquid level in the tank. In the housing 7, two terminals are made for connecting wires to them.
