MODIFICATION NOTES

28.7.04	Raise vehicle until wheels are clear of the ground using lifting platform, added	Step 1
28.7.04	Turn steering wheel slowly from steering stop to steering stop until no more bubbles are ascertained, added	Step 5

	Remove/install
1	Hoist vehicle with lifting platform until wheels are free	Model 211	AR00.60-P-1000T
		Model 163	AR00.60-P-1000GH
		Model 203, 209	AR00.60-P-1000P
2	Remove left air intake hose	Engine 112, 113
	Charging
3	Fill expansion reservoir (30a) with MB-steering gear oil	Do not start the engine! If the engine is started there is the danger that air gets into the hydraulic steering system which cannot be removed without taking further action. Fill the expansion reservoir (30a) with MB steering gear oil up to approx. 10 mm below the top edge of the reservoir. Add MB steering gear oil continuously, until the fluid level remains constant.

	Bleeding
4	Turn steering wheel from steering stop to steering stop	Do not start the engine! If the engine is started there is the danger that air gets into the hydraulic steering system which cannot be removed without taking further action. Turn the steering wheel slowly from steering stop to steering stop until no more bubbles are found to form in the expansion reservoir (30a). Repeat turning the steering from stop to stop several times (up to 30 times). During this process MB steering gear oil must be added to the expansion reservoir by an assistant.
	Risk of accident caused by vehicle starting off by itself when engine is running. Risk of injury caused by contusions and burns during starting procedure or when working near the running engine	Secure vehicle to prevent it from moving by itself. Wear closed and snug-fitting work clothes. Do not grasp hot or rotating parts.	AS00.00-Z-0005-01A
5	Start engine without moving the steering	Allow the engine to run for approx. 1 minute at idle speed. During this process an assistant must observe the steering oil level in the expansion reservoir (30a) and MB-steering gear oil must be refilled if necessary.
6	Turn steering wheel from steering stop to steering stop	When the engine is running, turn the steering wheel slowly several times from steering stop to steering stop, in the meantime refilling the expansion reservoir (30a) with MB steering gear oil. Repeat the process until the steering gear oil level remains constant in the expansion reservoir (30a) and no more bubbles are found to form.
	Checking
7	Check oil level in the expansion reservoir (30a) and fill up to the maximum fill level	The oil level in the expansion reservoir (30a) must always be filled up to the maximum.
	Power steering - checking and correcting oil level	Model 211 with diesel engine, 163, 203, 209	AP46.00-P-4611P
		Model 211 with gasoline engine	AP46.00-P-4611BB
8	Check steering system for leaks	In the event of leakage, find and eliminate cause.
9	Install in the reverse order
