System Bleeding

  1. Jack up front of vehicle and support with safety stands. Fill fluid to proper level in vane pump reservoir (turn wheels fully in both directions and recheck fluid level).
  2. Start engine and let idle. Turn steering from lock to lock 2 or 3 times. Lower vehicle. Run engine at 1000 RPM or less. Turn wheel from lock to lock 2 or 3 times. Center steering wheel. If fluid level does not rise and no foaming of fluid is evident, bleeding is complete. If level rises, or foaming is evident, repeat procedure until air is released.
