vehicle.

•

The power steering oil will drain from both hoses

as well as the pump; hence make necessary ar-

rangements to collect the oil.

•

When the oil is completely drained plug the holes

properly to avoid entry of contaminants and dirt

particles into the pump.

and tighten the union bolt to the specified torque

(1.5-2.5 Kg-m).

8. Fix the suction hose and fit the spring band clamp

on it.
