1. Lubricate control valve through grease fitting with multi-purpose lubricant until
grease is visible around rubber boot.
2. Coat power steering output shaft and exposed steering cable end with
multipurpose lubricant.
3. Lubricate cable end guide pivot point with SAE 30W engine oil.
4. Run engine for 20 to 30 minutes and check power steering fluid level. If low,
add type “A” automatic transmission fluid to bring level up to the FULL mark
on the dipstick.
NOTE:
The correct fluid level in a cold engine is up to, but not beyond, the ADD
mark. This allows for oil expansion when the engine is hot.
5. Inspect all hydraulic lines and hoses for leaks. Ensure all lines and hoses are
free from friction and exposure to extreme heat. Tighten all fittings and clamps
as required.
6. Check all bolts for tightness.
7. Check pump pulley drive belt for wear and proper tension.
IMPORTANT:
Avoid over-tightening drive belts. Belts that are too tight can cause
failure or excessive bearing wear.
