Hydraulic Reservoir (Power Steering) - Monaco Cayman 2005 Owner's Manual

Hydraulic Reservoir (Power Steering)

The power steering reservoir with internal filter is located at the rear of the engine. The hydraulic fil-
ter assembly, located inside the reservoir, is rated at ten micron*. The reservoir is filled with Dexron-III®
Automatic Transmission Fluid from the factory.
NOTE:
It is strongly recommended the owner carry a spare hydraulic filter and fuel filter
on board. These items can be obtained through a Cummins distributor.
Filter assembly: Nelson 91085G
Element number: 84365A (ten micron*)
The primary function of the power steering reservoir is to keep the steer-
ing system free of contamination and to dissipate excessive heat that builds
during extreme operating conditions.
Check the oil level in the reservoir every 6,000 miles or three months.
The oil dipstick fill is located on top of the reservoir in the rear compart-
ment. The oil level should be kept between the full and add marks on the
dipstick. If adding of fluid is required, use only Dexron-III® Automatic
Transmission Fluid.
Checking the Fluid Level:
1. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.
2. While the engine is at idle, turn the steering wheel left and right
several times.
3. Shut the engine off.
4. The easy grip handle is rotated counterclockwise to remove the dipstick.
5. Check the fluid level on the "HOT" side of the dipstick. It should be in the area of "HOT"
on the dipstick. This is the normal range. Do not exceed the full mark.
6. If the fluid level is low, add fluid in small amounts, continuously checking the level until the
"FULL" mark is reached.
7. Insert the easy grip handle back in the reservoir and rotate clockwise until securely fastened.
