Abstract
The tandem master cylinder comprises, in a bore, a primary piston defining with a secondary piston a primary chamber, the secondary piston defining with the bottom of the bore a secondary chamber, the primary and secondary chambers having respectively primary and secondary outlet orifices, the primary and secondary chambers being respectively associated with primary and secondary expansion holes, able to be closed respectively by the primary and secondary pistons. The method for adjusting the lost motion of the secondary piston comprises the following steps: PA0 placing the pistons and springs in the bore PA0 leaving the primary piston in contact with its rest stop PA0 moving the secondary piston until it closes the secondary expansion hole PA0 detecting the closure of the secondary expansion hole PA0 moving the secondary piston until the secondary expansion hole just reopens PA0 detecting the reopeing of the expansion hole PA0 setting the maximum separation.
