Power Steering Pump: Service Precautions
WARNING: To avoid damage to the pump, the following points should be observed:^ Never forcibly hold the steering wheel at full lock for any length of time with the engine running as the pump may then overheat and be damaged.
^ Take care to prevent any particles of dirt from entering the hydraulic system when checking the fluid level or topping up with fluid.
^ Never let the pump run without fluid in the hydraulic system.
