3.19 CHECKING THE STEERING GEAR PIPES AND CONNECTIONS
1. Condition of the pipes
- Check all pipes for tightness and wear.
When one or more supply pipes is
subject to negative pressure, it is
especially likely that porous pipes will
give rise to faults (air in the system).
- If in doubt, always replace the pipe.
2. Pipe connections
- Check each pipe connection for leaks.
3. Pipe routing
- Pipes must not be twisted during fitting.
A mark (sometimes in the form of text)
can be put on the hose to make it
easier to c arry out this check.
- Pipes must not touch other
components (to prevent chafing).
- Pipes should not bend sharply; this
applies especially to the flexible suction
and delivery pipes.
- Pipes must not be pinched off by other
components.
