Hydro-Boost Unit: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 14 other vehicles, including the 2004 Ford RV Cutaway, 2004 Ford Econoline, 2004 Ford E450 Super Duty, 2004 Ford Cutaway, and 2003 Ford RV Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
The power brake booster must NOT be carried by the accumulator, nor should it ever be dropped on the accumulator. The snap ring on the accumulator must be checked for proper seating before the power brake booster is used. The accumulator contains high-pressure nitrogen gas and can be dangerous if mishandled.
WARNING:
If the accumulator is to be disposed of, it must not be exposed to excessive heat, fire or incineration. Before discarding the accumulator, drill a 1/16" (1.6 mm) diameter hole in the end of the accumulator can to relieve the gas pressure. Always wear safety glasses when performing this operation.
CAUTION:
Do not activate the power brake booster with the brake master cylinder removed.
