Power steering-power steering system

(f). Make the engine operate at idle speed and
inspect the level of steering fluid.
(g). Shut down the engine.
(h). Wait for a few minutes and inspect the
level of steering fluid again, and compare
it with the level obtained at step (f).
Rise of steering fluid level: ≤ 5 mm
If the rise distance of the steering fluid level is beyond
the limit value, release the gas in the steering fluid.
(refer to “chapter 42 power steering - steering fluid,
air release and purification”)
the engine operates at idle speed. the engine is shut down.

(i). Finally, inspect the level of steering fluid
and fill the steering fluid if necessary.

2. inspect the leakage of steering hydraulic system
(a). Start the engine and make it operate at idle speed.
(b). Rotate the steering wheel for a few times in the limit positions of the left and right sides and
raise the temperature of the steering liquid.
Steering fluid temperature: 60 ~ 80 ℃

Notice:
The steering wheel shall stay no more than 5 seconds in the limit position so as to avoid damaging
the steering gear.
Hint:
42 Make the left and right front wheels leave the ground at the same time and support the vehicle with a
safety stage.

(c). Turn the steering wheel to any side of limit position, apply certain force on it and keep for a few
seconds.
Notice:

The steering wheel shall stay no more than 5 seconds in the limit position so as to avoid damaging
the steering gear.
Hint:
This step may be repeated for a few times.

(d). Inspect whether the steering hydraulic system leaks.
• if the oil leaks from the joint, it means the terminal nut loose, screw it at once.
• if the oil leaks from the joint with hoop, replace with a new hoop. Don’t screw it too tightly
to avoid damaging.
