IMPORTANT: The power steering module primer has two switches, "POWER" - "ON"
and "OFF", and "PUMP" - "ON" and "OFF". To power up and activate the power steering
pump, there are two steps: 1) Turn the "POWER" switch to the "ON" position to power
up pump, wait for two seconds, then, 2) Turn the "PUMP" switch to the "ON" position to
activate pump.
IMPORTANT: Do not run pump out of fluid. If pump draws air during bleeding, the
resulting re-bleeding will take two to three times longer than initial bleeding.
5. Power up and activate the pump until fluid drops halfway. Turn off both switches on
the power steering primer module and refill the pump tank. Repeat this operation until
pump tank stays full.
6. Power up and activate the pump while slowly turning the steering wheel towards the
full lock position in one direction. Carefully monitor the fluid level until fluid drops
halfway, stop turning the steering wheel and refill the pump tank. Repeat this
operation turning the steering wheel from full lock to full lock 10 times until pump tank
stays full.
7. For bleeding any air left in the steering system, power up and activate the pump. Turn
the steering wheel in one direction until the full lock position is met.
8. Attach an 8 mm I.D. (5/16 in. I.D.) transparent bleed hose to the bleed valve on the
end of the steering cylinder that the engine is pointing to. Route bleed hose into pump
tank (do not bleed power steering fluid into a different container, this will only be
pumping fluid out of the system that was just filled up).
