− 60°C (122 −
140
°F).
(3) With the engine running, turn the wheel all the way to the
left and right several times.
(4) Check the fluid in the oil reservoir for foaming or milkiness.
Check the difference of the fluid level when the engine is
stopped, and while it is running.
Q: Is the check result OK?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Bleed the air (refer to
STEP 4. Check each hose for crushing or twisting.
Q: Is any hose crushed or twisted?
