Refilling & Bleeding System

  1. Fill pump reservoir to proper level. Start engine and run momentarily. Stop engine and recheck fluid level. Add fluid (if necessary). Repeat procedure until fluid level remains constant after running engine.
  2. Raise and support vehicle so front wheels are off ground. Start engine. Turn steering wheel from side to side several times (without hitting stops). DO NOT  hold wheel in full left or right position. Fluid level should remain above pump inlet in reservoir.
  3. Return wheels to center position and operate engine for 2- 3 minutes. Road test vehicle and recheck fluid level. Fluid containing air will have a milky appearance. All air should be eliminated to obtain normal steering.
