P/S Fluid Leakage Check

Start engine and turn steering wheel fully to the right and left so that maximum hydraulic pressure is provided. Then visually check gear case, P/S pump and P/S fluid reservoir themselves and each joint of their connecting pipes for leakage.

CAUTION: If the steering wheel is held at the fully turned position for too long, the P/S pump will be damaged. Do not hold the steering wheel at the fully turned position for more than 10 seconds.
