Inspection every two weeks before and after driving
Power steering
Ensure that all the maintenance service jobs on the steering
system be carried out at the intervals recommended in the
maintenance manual to guaranty total efficiency and safety.
If any working abnormality in the steering is noticed,
immediately supply the necessary repairs.
The habits of forcing the steering too far against wheel
obstacles and of activating the steering while the vehicle is
stopped are harmful to the steering system and should be
avoided.
In emergencies, in the case of damage to the power steering
system, the steering may be used without hydraulic help,
however, in this condition there will be more steering wheel
play and the steering will become noticeably “heavier”. Drive
the vehicle very carefully and take it to an authorized
King-Long Dealer or Workshop to re-establish the correct
working order of the steering system.
Important:
In the case of damage to the hydraulic steering
pump or of the total loss of fluid from the hydraulic system,
we recommend that the vehicle is not driven further than
50KM in order to avoid further damage to the steering system
components.
Power steering fluid level
The power steering fluid level should be checked while the
engine is running at idle and the fluid is hot. Run the engine at
idle gear and turn the steering from side to side various times
to heat the steering system fluid.
Check the level through the inspect window of the container.
