2. MEASUREMENT OF HYDRAULIC PRESSURE
a. Be sure to complete all items aforementioned in article 1), prior to measuring hydraulic pressure. Otherwise,
pressure can not be measured correctly.
b. Do not leave the valve of pressure gauge closed or hold the steering wheel at stop end for 5 seconds or more
in any case, as the oil pump may be damaged due to long keep of these conditions.
c . Put cotton cloth waste at a place where fluid drops before pressure gauge is installed . Wipe off split fluid
thoroughly after the measurement.
d. Keep engine idling during the measurement.
