For safety reasons, work on the steering system may only be performed by trained expert staff. Work
performed incorrectly may lead to severe accidents.

These instructions apply only
 when a Servolectric was already installed in the vehicle and you are installing a steering gear with the same part
number (visible on the type plate).
 when a steering gear from another manufacturer was installed in the vehicle which can be replaced by a
Servolectric that is designed for the same kind of installation.

CAUTION
Replace self-locking nuts, screws, seals, and locking elements with new parts.
If you are replacing the steering gear due to an accident, also check the other parts of the steering system
for damage (even if there is no visible damage), for instance tires, rims, axles, axle mountings, and
mechanical connecting parts.
If necessary, repair or replace defective parts.
1. Turn the steering wheel to the straight-ahead position. The front and rear-axle wheels must be in line. Adjust the
steering lock to straight-ahead position and if possible lock it.
2. Mark the installation position and the position of the Servolectric. The markings will be needed if the Servolectric
needs to be installed again.
3. Switch off the ignition and disconnect the battery negative pole to break the electric circuit.
4. Disconnect electrical plug connections connected to the vehicle power supply. If the tie rods are to remain in the
vehicle, disconnect them from the Servolectric.
