General Information

Pump is not designed to be serviced. If a customer has reported a problem, determine cause via pressure test and leak test. If there is a malfunction, replace the vane pump.

If power steering fluid is low in reservoir, check steering system for leaks.
In case of leaks near line connections, check lines/line connections for proper seal, if necessary tighten and wipe dry.
Power steering pump is delivered without oil. Therefore, hydraulic oil must be filled before installation and turned by hand. Otherwise, noises when driving or damage to power steering pump may occur.
