Steering System

1. Check steering and throttle cables for cracks and
wear. Check all along the length of the cable, as
shown in the diagram. Replace the cables if you
suspect that they are not in optimum condition.
2. Check steering system hoses for cracks, leaks,
and wear. Replace any hoses that you suspect
are not in optimum condition.

Power Steering Reservoir Fluid Level

Whenever you check the engine oil, also check the
steering reservoir fluid level. The fluid level must be
above the "Min" line and below the "Max" line. If need-
ed, add Volvo Penta Power Trim/Tilt and Steering Flu-
id. Do not overfill the pump reservoir.
NOTICE! Never fill the steering system with oil of un-
known quality. Non-recommended oil may
cause steering operation impairment or
component damage.
Do not allow contaminants to enter the reservoir when
checking or filling the oil level.
