AND MAINTENANCE INTERVAL CHART at the end of this
section.
Power Steering
Power Steering Resevoir
1. Filter Access Cap
2. Fluid Level
3. Internal Power Steering Fluid Filter
Periodically replace the power steering fluid.
Whenever the hydraulic (power steering) system has been
drained and refilled, bleed air from the system before returning
the vehicle to service. Failure to properly bleed the hydraulic
system can result in shimmy complaints and / or steering wheel
oscillation when striking a bump.
Consult your IC Bus dealer or IC Bus ™ Service Manual for the
proper procedures for filling and bleeding the system.
The power steering fluid filter is located inside the power steering
reservoir. To remove the filter, unscrew the large cap on the
power steering reservoir and unscrew the filter. Reverse the
procedure to install the new filter.
Refer to the LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE INTERVAL
CHART at the back of this section for the fluid and filter
replacement intervals.
