Optimus 360 will provide years of safe reliable performance with a
minimum of service if properly installed.
Optimus 360 steering systems have been designed with protection
against over-pressure situations, with the inclusion of a pressure
relief valve and circuit breakers, to minimize the possibility of total
loss of steering.
Most faults occur when the installation instructions are not followed
and usually show up immediately upon filling the system. Listed below,
are the most common faults encountered and their likely cause and
solution.
