Danger | Risk of death caused by vehicle slipping or toppling off during lifting | Only lift vehicle at the lift support points specified by the vehicle manufacturer. | |
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. | |
Warning | Risk of injury to skin or eyes from hydraulic fluid spraying out under pressure.Risk of poisoning from swallowing hydraulic fluid. | Depressurize hydraulic system completely before starting any work on it. Wear protective clothing and safety glasses. | |
Warning | Danger of injury to eyes caused by steering oil emerging at high pressure. Danger of poisoning caused by swallowing steering oil | The setting screws for the hydraulic steering limiters must be turned in by at least three rotations. Wear protective gloves, protective clothing and safety glasses. | |
Warning | Risk of injury from being trapped in the swivel range of steered axles | Ensure that no persons or objects are in the swivel range of all steered axles when turning the steering wheel. Do not stand in the swivel range of the additional steering axle when the engine is running. | |
Warning | Risk of injury to skin or eyes from hot hydraulic fluid spraying out under high pressure. Risk of burn injuries from contact with components heated by hot hydraulic fluid. Risk of poisoning from swallowing hydraulic fluid | Do not make any technical modifications to the pressure gauge or the test equipment. Check the pressure gauge and test equipment for mechanical damage each time prior to use. Observe the flow diagram when connecting the test equipment. Wear protective gloves, protective clothing and safety glasses. | |
Warning | Risk of accident and injury caused by diagnostic equipment in vehicle while traveling | Never use the test equipment to verify the delivery rate and oil pressure of the power steering pump or the pressure gauge while driving. | |

| Check | ||
1 | Move vehicle to driving level using level control system operating unit. | ||
2 | Move front wheels to straight-ahead position. | ||
3 | Secure vehicle to prevent it moving away. | ||
4 | Position front wheels centrally on turn plates. | ||
5 | Open maintenance flap. | ||
6 | Connect hose (5) to manometer (6). | Pressure gage | |
Hose | |||
7 | Unscrew cap (4) from test connection (3). | ||
8 | Connect hose (5) at test connection (3). | ||
9 | Start engine and run at idle speed. | ||
10 | Turn steering to left or right several times using normal force of the hand until steering gear oil temperature of approx. 50 °C is reached in the steering. | | |
11 | Turn steering wheel left up to mechanical end stop using normal force of the hand, read off pressure at manometer (6), and release steering wheel again. | | |
12 | Note down measured pressure. | ||
13 | Turn steering wheel to right up to mechanical end stop using normal force of the hand, read off pressure at manometer (6), and release steering wheel again. | | |
14 | Note down measured pressure. | ||
15 | Move front wheels to straight-ahead position. | ||
16 | Switch off engine. | ||
17 | Compare noted pressures with specified adjustment pressure of steering limitation. | Adjustment pressure for steering limiter | |
If noted pressures do not match specified adjustment pressure of steering limitation: | |||
| |||
Set hydraulic steering limiters. | |||

18 | Detach hose (5) from test connection (3). | Collect escaping oil in suitable container. | |
19 | Screw cap (4) onto test connection (3). | ||
20 | Remove hose (5) from manometer (6) and seal all connections. | ||
21 | Raise vehicle at front axle, remove all turn plates, and lower vehicle back onto floor. | ||
22 | Check steering gear oil level and correct if necessary. | Steering gear oil | |
23 | Close maintenance flap. | ||
24 | Conduct a road test. | During the test drive, check the overall steering ability of the vehicle. |
