SERVICE INTERVALS
Check fluid at every oil change.
CHECKING FLUID LEVEL
Check fluid level with engine stopped and fluid hot or cold.
Fluid level must be at "FULL-HOT" or "FULL-COLD" mark on dipstick. On
models with remote reservoir, keep fluid level 0.5-1.0" from top of
reservoir with wheels turned fully to left.

REFILLING & BLEEDING SYSTEM
1) Fill reservoir to correct level. Operate engine until
fluid reaches normal operating temperature. Stop engine. Add fluid (if
necessary). Turn wheels to full left position. Add fluid to reservoir
to fill to "FULL-COLD" mark on dipstick.
2) Start and operate engine at fast idle. Recheck reservoir
level. Add to "FULL-COLD" mark on dipstick. Turn wheels from side to
side without contacting stops. Maintain fluid level just above pump
body.
3) When air is removed, return wheels to straight-ahead
position. Operate engine 2-3 minutes. Stop engine. Road test vehicle.
Recheck fluid level. Level should be at "FULL-HOT" position after
system has stabilized. Add fluid (if necessary). DO NOT overfill.
