| Check | ||
1 | Turn the ignition key to the ON position, without running the engine | If the hydraulic steering fluid is cold, run the engine at idle speed and turn the steering several time to both sides, to heat the fluid. Then, stop the engine and keep the ignition key ON. | |
Warning | Risk of accident from vehicle starting off by itself when engine running. Risk of injury (bruises and burns) resulting from working on the engine while it is being started or when it is running. | Secure vehicle to prevent it from starting off by itself. Wear closed and snug-fitting work clothes. Do not touch hot or rotating parts. | |
2 | Start the engine | ||
3 | Check level through the translucent reservoir | If the steering system is correctly refueled, the fluid level with the engine running, at idle speed, must be located withing the max. and min (2) reference for the fluid level hot. | |
If you cannot see fluid level through the translucent reservoir, use dipstick (4). In this case, carefully remove dipstick to prevent debris from entering the reservoir. If system is correctly filled up, fluid level should be at dipstick level range (b). | |||
The fluid level must not exceed the indication of maximum level . | |||
Refill | |||
4 | If fluid is at the minimum level or below, reestablish the maximum level in the reservoir | ||
5 | Clean reservoir end cover (3) and surroundings, remove it and add recommended fluid | ||
6 | Stop the engine | When engine is off, oil level should go up 1 to 2 cm. above max level reference mark. |
