Checking Power-Steering Fluid Level

CAUTION: Increased risk of accidents and material damage if too much Pentosin CHF 202 is filled in or if Pentosin CHF 202 comes into contact with the coolant hoses when filling or topping up.

It is possible to overfill the system, causing Pentosin CHF 202 to overflow onto coolant hoses and other components.
1. The engine must be run for approx. 20 seconds prior to the fluid level check. Multiple steering operations (maneuvering) will change the fluid level in the reservoir. Check the fluid level.
2. If coolant hoses come into contact with Pentosin, clean them thoroughly with water IMMEDIATELY.
3. Replace visibly swollen coolant hoses.

Power-steering reservoir

A dipstick with MIN/MAX markings is attached to the reservoir cap. The markings are for a fluid level on a cold engine (approx. 20°C).
The MAX marking can easily be exceeded at higher temperatures.

Check the fluid level (Pentosin CHF 202) when the engine is stopped and when it is cold (approx. 20°C).

The fluid level must be between the MIN and MAX markings > Dipstick and power-steering reservoir .

Dipstick and power-steering reservoir

Start the engine and run it at idle speed for approx. 20 seconds. Stop the engine.
Open the engine cover and reservoir.
Wipe dipstick. Close and then re-open cap. The fluid level must be in the indicated range (MIN/MAX level at approx. 20°C). Top up with Pentosin if necessary.
