Hydraulic Fluid
Keep the steering system filled with one of the following:
• Automatic Transmission Fluid Type "F"
• Automatic Transmission Fluid Dexron II
• Hydraulic fluid as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
WARNING: MAINTAIN THE PROPER FLUID LEVEL IN THE SYSTEM RESERVOIR. DO NOT MIX OIL TYPES.
A MIXTURE OF OIL TYPES OR AN UNAPPROVED OIL, COULD DETERIORATE THE SEALS, CAUSING
LEAKAGE THAT WOULD CREATE A LOSS OF POWER STEERING, COMPLETELY DRAIN OLD OIL FROM
THE SYSTEM BEFORE CHANGING TO ANOTHER FLUID. IT IS SUGGESTED ALSO THAT YOU FLUSH THE
SYSTEM WITH CLEAN OIL.
Filling and Air Bleeding the System
N
OTE: For steps 1 and 2, do not turn the steering wheel.
1.
Fill the reservoir nearly full. Crank the engine for 10 seconds without, if possible, allowing
the engine to start. If the engine does start, shut it off immediately. Do this procedure 3
times, each time checking and refilling the reservoir.
CAUTION: Do not allow fluid to drop significantly or to run out of the reservoir. This will
induce air into the system.
2.
Start the engine and let it idle for 2 minutes. Shut the engine off and check the fluid level in
the reservoir.
NOTE: For step 3, have someone turn the steering wheel while you check the reservoir.
3.
Start the engine. Steer the vehicle from full left to full right several times, all the while
adding fluid. When you are finished, add fluid to the fill line in reservoir.
