32 13 006 Bleeding power steering (version with Dynamic Drive): Notes

WARNING: DANGER OF POISONING if oil is ingested/absorbed through the skin!
RISK OF INJURY if oil comes into contact with eyes and skin!

IMPORTANT: Adhere to the utmost cleanliness. Do not allow any dirt to enter the hydraulic system.
Using contaminated equipment to add fluid may introduce dirt particles into the fluid reservoir and significantly reduce the service life of the power steering system. Do not use any filler funnels or similar!
Use only Pentosin CHF11S from original containers!
The fill level may only be checked or adjusted when the engine is stopped! The fluid temperature should be approx. 20 °C here.
Ensure that the cap is fully screwed in prior to the fill level check.

NOTE: To avoid mix-ups when filling with hydraulic fluid, mark the fluid reservoirs or their caps with identification marks.

NOTE: The fill level is dependent on the fluid temperature. Check fluid level at a fluid temperature between 20 ° and 80 °C.

With engine at normal operating temperature do not exceed "Max. marking 80 ° C" (1).

Do not drop below "Min. marking 20 °C" (2).

Hydraulic fluid: refer to OPERATING FLUIDS
