Clutch Fluid
The Tata Safari vehicle is equipped with a diaphragm type clutch Which is
hydraulically actuated.
The level of clutch fluid in clutch fluid container should be in between
Min. and Max. marks. If it is not, then add clutch fluid.
In case of spongy or hard clutch pedal, please contact the nearest
Authorised Workshop and get the defect rectified.
Brake Fluid Brake FluidBrake Fluid Brake Fluid

Check the level of Brake fluid in Brake fluid container.
It should be in between Min. and Mix. marks.
If it is not, then add brake fluid.
In case of spongy or hard pedal or low brake efficiency, please contact
the nearest Authorised Workshop and get the defect rectified.
Power Steering Fluid Power Steering FluidPower Steering Fluid Power Steering Fluid
Power Steering Fluid
Power steering is fitted for lighter steering effect and easy
manoeuverability. The system consists of steering gear box, hydraulic
pump and hydraulic tank suitably connected by piping. Pump drive is
though ‘V’ belt from engine. Power assistance is available during normal
operating conditions. In case of failure in hydraulic system, the steering
can be operated mechanically with increased steering effort for bringing
the vehicle to Authorised Workshop.

Procedure for Oil Filling and Bleeding of Power
Steering SteeringSteering Steering
Steering (Ensure that Power Steering fluid reservoir is totally
clean before starting the work)
1 . Fill the reservoir nearly full. Crank the engine for 10
seconds without allowing it to start (if possible). If engine
does start, shut the engine immediately. Check & refill
the reservoir repeat atleast three times, each time
checking & refilling the reservoir.
2 . Check for leakage in the system and if noticed take
corrective action.
3 . Start the engine and steer the vehicle from full left to full
right turns 3-4 times.
4 . Add fluid if necessary to maintain the level upto filter top.
NOTICE NOTICENOTICE NOTICE
NOTICE
Do not force the wheel against lock position either
extreme left or right. The power steering pump may get
damaged. Hold it lightly.
5 . When the engine is at steady speed, check for bubble
or foaming in the oil. If present it indicates that air is
getting sucked into the systems. Check the suction
line/fittings and correct if necessary.
6 . Once the system is bled properly and free from foaming
there should not be any appreciable change in oil level
in the reservoir, when the engine is started or stopped
repeatedly.
7 . Now the system is ready for driving.
Final oil level should be at ‘H’ mark on dip stick.
NOTICE NOTICENOTICE NOTICE
NOTICE
* Do not allow fluid level to drop significantly or run out
of the reservoir during the above operation. This may
induce air to the system.
* Do not start the engine without oil in the power steering
system. This will result in serious damage to the
pump. In case of emergency disconnect the pump belt
and then start the engine.
* Always use recommended oil from closed containers.
Any dirty oil poured in the system will result in damage
to pump and gear box.

Check the conditions of belts on the engine. Examine the edge of
the belt for cracks or fraying.
Check the tension of the belt by pushing on it with your thumb for
Alternator belt and A.C. compressor belt and Power Steering belt
as shown in schematic diagram.
The belts should have deflection of 4 to 6 mm.
If the belt tension is not proper, get it attended at the nearest
authorised service outlet.
Correct tension of the belt is very critical from belt life and belt
noise point of view. It is recommended that belt tension should be
measured with clavis gauge to ensure recommended values as given
below
