• Clean the area around connection fittings and hose connections properly before start of repair.
• Always close off open connection fittings and hose connections in order to prevent dirt particles entering the system.
• Ensure absolute cleanliness when pouring in the hydraulic fluid.
• When bleeding air from the ABC system, and whenever allowing the pump motor to run, always ensure that the hydraulic fluid reservoir (5) contains an adequate supply of hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic pump (3) must never draw in air.
• Do not use the funnel with filter that is used for filling in hydraulic fluid for other operating fluids. Store the funnel with filter in a separate cabinet.
• Always move the steering to the straight-ahead position if the vehicle is to remain unused for a long period of time.
