- Drain the previous power steering fluid before installation. Replace with OEM-recommended fluid.
- Fill the reservoir with clean steering fluid up to the maximum level.
- Lift the vehicle so the front axle is not under load.
- With the engine off, turn the steering wheel slowly from one extreme to the other (twice).
- Refill the reservoir with clean steering fluid up to the maximum level.
- To prevent air intake, start the engine and add clean steering fluid to the reservoir at the same time.
- Turn the steering wheel slowly from one side to the other (repeat 10-15 times). Do NOT hold the steering wheel at the extreme positions for more than 5 seconds. Do NOT turn the wheel sharply at the extreme positions, which may cause foam in the fluid. Repeat the above steps until no bubbles appear.
- Fill the reservoir with clean steering fluid up to the maximum level and replace the reservoir cap tightly.
- Check the steering system to avoid leaks.
- Shut off the engine. After cooling off the engine, the fluid level in the reservoir should rise. Check if the fluid level exceeds the maximum mark. If the fluid level exceeds the maximum mark by 5mm, try to repeat the exhaust process.
- Vehicle driving (check the fluid level before and after driving).
- While the engine is running, add clean steering fluid to the reservoir up to the maximum level.

Operating the Power Steering System
Once properly installed and the system is bled of air, the power steering pump will provide hydraulic assistance for easier steering.
- Ensure the power steering fluid level is always within the recommended range.
- Listen for any unusual noises (e.g., whining, grinding) during steering, which may indicate an issue.
- Observe for any changes in steering feel, such as increased effort or looseness.
