Oil Pump Pressure Check
1. Disconnect the pressure hose from the oil pump connect a
pressure gauge between the oil pump and pressure hose
2. Bleed the system . Start the engine and turn the steering
wheel form lock several times until oil temperature is up to
50°C
3. Run the engine at 1,000 rpm.
4. Close the pressure gauge valve and check oil pressure.
Notice
Do not keep the valve closed for more than 10 seconds.
5. Remove the pressure gauge and connect the pressure

2. Connect the fuel feed line and start the engine at idle speed.
3. Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock until there is no
more air in oil reservoir.
4. Connect the oil level is within specification.
5. By turning the steering wheel left to right, check the oil level
change.
Notice
lIf oil is not changes more than 5mm, do bleeding again.
lIf oil level rises suddenly when stopped engine, again.
