- Fill the reservoir to the "FULL" mark and raise the front end of vehicle. To avoid foaming of the fluid during filling and testing, fabricate a stick, using the dimensions shown in Fig 1 .
- Install the fabricated stick in the reservoir with the short end down into the fluid return port on the bottom of the reservoir. With the stick in position, turn the steering wheel lock to lock at least ten times. Check the fluid level and add if necessary
NOTE:
Do not let the reservoir run dry.
