Checking for leaks (sheet 2)
3.
Turn the wheel to starboard, and when the hard
over point is reached, continue turning to
starboard to pressurize the starboard lines, until
the safety valve releases. At this point, the fluid in
the starboard line will be at maximum pressure
and the wheel has a 'lumpy' feel when turned to
starboard.
4.
With the starboard lines at maximum pressure,
check the starboard lines for leaks, paying
particular attention to the joints.
If a leak occurs, turn the wheel to port to release
the pressure, then repair the leak and repeat step 3.
5.
After 24 hours, re-check the steering system to
ensure there are still no hydraulic fluid leaks.
