IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Flushing System: Installer must flush the power steering pump reservoir by disconnecting the return line from the power steering pump and place it in a drain pan, then flush reservoir by pouring new fluid into the reservoir until the fluid runs clear. DIRTY FLUID WILL VOID ANY WARRANTY! While leaving the return line in the drain pan, cap the pump reservoir return port to prevent leakage, and fill the power steering pump with new fluid. The fluid level MUST be kept above the top of the pump casting at all times during the flushing procedure: with the ignition system disabled, crank the engine in 10 second intervals, continue to add fluid until the return line runs clear, and then reconnect the pump return line.
Bleeding System: Installer must also bleed the system. Make sure the fluid in the power steering pump reservoir is above the top of the pump casting at all times during bleeding procedure. With the ignition system disabled, crank the engine in 10 second intervals, and while cranking, turn the steering wheel side to side (lock to lock) SLOWLY at least 4-5 times to bleed the system. If you see any bubbles and/or foam enter the pump, stop and let the system rest until all the bubbles and/or foam has dissipated. Repeat the above bleeding procedure steps until no more bubbles and/or foam enter the pump. Test drive the car; if power assist is smooth, bleeding is complete; if power assist is erratic, whines, or fluid is foaming, repeat above bleeding procedures.
