Optimus EPS steering will provide years of safe reliable performance

Optimus steering systems have been designed with protection against
over-pressure situations, with the inclusion of a pressure relief valve
and circuit breakers, to minimize the possibility of total loss of steering.
Most faults occur when the installation instructions are not followed
and usually show up immediately upon filling the system. Listed below
are the most common faults encountered and their likely cause
