Step 3. Disconnection and Testing
• Disconnect all the hoses and place them back in the box. Remove the quick coupling adapter.
• Disconnect the Power Purge Jr. from the battery.
• Push on the cylinder to ensure that it does not move more than 1/4” in either direction.
• While turning the wheel to starboard and just before reaching the stop look at the oil level
in the pump. If no appreciable drop in the oil level occurs, the starboard side of the steering
system is free of air. Repeat the test by turning the wheel to port. If you turn past the stop
with the filler cap off the helm, oil will spill out.
• Ensure the reservoir isn’t overfilled and replace the filler cap in the helm. Perform system
proof test by turning the wheel to starboard beyond its normal stop with enough pressure to
“crack the pressure relief valve (1000-1500 psi). Repeat with port side. Fill and Purge is now
complete.
