If the fluid foams while cranking wait at least 10 minutes or more until dispersed air has time to accumulate and purge through the reservoir.Ĩ. Disable the engine from starting Crank the engine several revolutions, if the fluid level drops there is compressed air trapped in the system, repeat the above steps until the fluid level remains stable. If you see any signs of bubbles recheck all hose connections then repeat the steps above. Check the fluid constantly to ensure proper level and that no bubbles exist. Thoroughly clean any spilled fluid so you can check later for any leaksĦ. On systems with coolers you may need to cycle in excess of 40 times Do NOT turn the steering wheel fast as this will cause the fluid to overflow the reservoir, trapped air may cause the fluid to overflow. Until this bubble passes no fluid will circulate through the system. If the fluid level does not drop no fluid has moved through the system, this indicates an air bubble in the reservoir or pump. With an assistant checking the fluid level, turn the steering wheel slowly and smoothly lock to lock until the level drops in the reservoir. The use of transmission fluid will VOID the warrantyĥ. Do NOT use automatic transmission fluid as transmission fluid does not contain the same friction inhibitors/additives and tends to breakdown and overheat. Fill the reservoir to the “full cold” level & leave the cap off.
Turn the steering wheel fully to the RIGHTĤ. Pump internals are metal to metal so any air in the system can cause metal to metal contact and resulting damage.ģ. Do NOT start the engine until the system is fully bled, doing so may cause damage to the power steering components.
