the driving security. If failure appears during use, the vehicle should be sent to
the service station designated by Chery; the company is not responsible for the
accidents due to self-disassembling, self-maintenance and improper operation.
·
The peak rate of flow in the system could not exceed 10L/min, maximal working oil
pressure could not exceed 8Mpa at any time.
·
After the new steering gear has run for about 2500km, it is required to change the hydraulic
oil and clean the strainer in the oil reservoir. Thereforth, change the oil and do the clean of
every year or 50000km.
·
Check the tire regularly and keep the tire pressure meets the specification.
·
If the improper clearance
locates in the steering transmission system, power steering system or steering link system
and then resolve it.

Hydraulic oil for the steering system
Working oil: ATF DEXRON
Substitute oil: No.8 hydraulic transmission oil.
Caution: One steering gear can be refueled with only one kind of oil mentioned above.
It will lead to oil seal damage and leakage if unauthorized oil is used.
Consequently, the steering power will fail.
·
Adding oil of the steering system

the steering wheel to the left and right limit position (Do not keep the steering wheel stay at
the limit position more than 5 seconds), and continue to refuel the oil reservoir with the
hydraulic oil until the oil level do not decline and no air bubbles appear. The oil level
should reach the half height of the filter core.
