POWER STEERING SERVICE
The power steering system requires
minor maintenance to assure a long service
life. Normal servicing requires that only the
power steering reservoir filter be replaced
after every 1000 hours of operation. The
power steering fluid need not be changed
unless the fluid becomes contaminated. The
fluid can be contaminated due to power steer-
ing pump failure, the entry of dirt and foreign
matter into the reservoir while checking or
adding fluid or internal steering cylinder
failure . Using care when servicing the re-
servoir will prevent dirt from contaminating
the fluid.
If the steering system is completely
drained it will be necessary to bleed the air
from the system. To bleed the system proceed
as follows:

1. Fill the reservoir to the full mark on
the dipstick. Use Case TCH Oil.
2. Start engine and run at low idle. DO NOT
exceed low idle as the power steering
pump could be damaged.
3. Turn the steering wheel one half turn
to the right and left . Stop the engine and
add
fluid until the proper level is obtained.
4. Start the engine and turn the steering
wheel through several complete turns.
Stop the engine and check fluid level.
Add fluid as required to obtain the proper
fluid level.
