POWER STEERING

PO WER STEERING (When provided) WER STEERING
Power steering is fitted for lighter steering effort and easy
manoeuvrability. The system consists of steering gear box,
hydraulic pump and hydraulic reservoir suitably mounted and
connected by piping. Pump drive is through belt from engine.
Power assistance is available during normal functioning of the
power steering system.

starting the work. )
1. Fill the reservoir nearly full. Crank the engine for 10 seconds
without, if possible, allowing it to start. If the engine does
start, shut off immediately. Check and refill the reservoir.
Repeat atleast three times, each time checking and refilling
the reservoir.
2. Check for any leakage in the system and if noticed take
corrective action.
3. Start the engine and steer the vehicle from full left to full
right turn 3-4 times. Add fluid if necessary to maintain the
level up to the filter top.
4. With the engine at steady speed check for bubble /foaming
in the fluid. If present it indicates that air is getting sucked
into the system.
Check the suction line / fittings and correct if necessary.
5. Once the system is bled properly and free from foaming,
there should not be appreciable change in fluid level in
the reservoir, when the engine is started / stop repeatedly.
Top up or remove excess fluid so that the final level is at 'H'
mark on dipstick.
6. Now the system is ready for driving.
CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION
Do not allow the fluid level to drop significantly or run out
of the reservoir during the above operation. This may induce
air into the system.
Do not start the engine without fluid in the power steering
system. This will result in serious damage to the pump.
NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE
Always use recommended brand of fluid from closed
containers. Any dirty fluid poured in the system will result in
damage to pump/gear.
