CAUTION: If a steering gear assemb ly is returned under warranty with leaking seals, but there is also
damage to the steering gear boot/boots the steering gear warranty will be invalid. This is due to the steering
gear seals being damaged due to fore ign materials entering the steering gear boot and damaging the steering
gear seals thereafter.

The
measurement of the maximum system pressure, (which is
governed by the pressure relief valve) is achieved by
inserting the Service Tool (pressure gauge and adaptors) into th e fluid circuit of the power steering system. Run the engine
at idle speed, turn the st eering from lock to lock and read the ma ximum pressure recorded on the gauge.
Installin
g Test Equipment
To
in
stall the pressure test equipment:
Pla
c
e a suitable drain tray be
low the power steering pump.
Install a hose clamp on
the re
servoir to pump hose prior to disconnecting any hoses, to avoid unnecessary loss of
fluid.
Disc
onnect the hose from the power st
eering pump high pressure outlet.
Install the pu
mp outlet to hose adaptor (5
). Do not omit the 'O' ring seal (9).
Connect the power steering
pump
adaptor to control valve hose (6) of the test equipment.
Install th e adaptor (4) in th
e high
pressure hose previously removed from the power steering pump outlet.
Conn
ect the connector (3) of the test equipment hose (2) to the adaptor (4).
R
e
move the hose clamp fro
m the reservoir hose.
Start th
e engine.
With the control valve (7) OPEN and the engine idli ng, the following system pressures may be checked:
Du

held on full lock.
With
the steeri
ng at rest.
• CAUTIONS:
To avoid excessive heating of the po wer steering pump, do not close the valve for longer than 5 seconds maximum.
Do not drive the vehicle with the test equipment installed.
With the control valve (7) CLOSED the power steering pump maximum ou tput pressure can be checked.
Removing Test Equipment
To
remove the test equipment:
Install a hose clamp
on
the reservoir to power steering pump hose.
