Refilling & Bleeding System

  1. Fill reservoir to correct level. Operate engine until fluid reaches normal operating temperature. Stop engine and correct fluid level if necessary. Turn wheels to full left position and add fluid to reservoir to fill to "FULL COLD" mark on dipstick.
  2. Start and operate engine at fast idle. Recheck reservoir level and add to "FULL COLD" mark on dipstick. Bleed air from system by turning wheels from side-to-side without contacting stops. Maintain fluid level just above pump body.
  3. Fluid with air in it will have bubbles and a milky appearance. When air is removed, return wheels to straight ahead position. Operate engine an additional 2-3 minutes. Stop engine.
  4. Road test vehicle and recheck fluid level. Level should be at "FULL HOT" position after system has stabilized. Add as necessary but do not overfill.
