MAINTENANCE & CAR CARE<br />
6. Once the system is bled properly and free from foaming,<br />
there should not be any appreciable change in the oil<br />
level in the reservoir, when the engine is started or stopped<br />
repeatedly.<br />
7. Now the car is ready to be driven.<br />
Final oil level should be upto 'Max' mark of reservoir.<br />
Do not allow fluid level to drop significantly or run out<br />
of the reservoir during the above operation. This may<br />
induce air into the system.<br />
Severe damage could occur to the power steering<br />
pump due to dry running (Running without sufficient<br />
oil and due to severe cavitation on account of air<br />
entry due to low oil level). This could lead to loss of<br />
power assistance, damage and failure of the power<br />
steering system.<br />
Do not start the engine without oil in the power<br />
steering system. This will result in serious damage<br />
to the pump. In case of an emergency, disconnect<br />
the pump drive belt and then start the engine or drive<br />
slowly as vacuum assistance for brake would not be<br />
available.<br />
Always use recommended oil from sealed<br />
containers. Any contaminated oil poured in the<br />
system will result in damage to the pump and gear<br />
box.<br />
Avoid mixing of different brands of oils.<br />
Power Steering & Battery<br />
BATTERY :<br />
Check the battery for proper electrolyte level and corrosion<br />
on the terminals.<br />
During normal operation, the battery generates gas<br />
which is explosive in nature, a spark or open flame<br />
can cause the battery to explode causing very<br />
serious injuries.<br />
Keep all sparks & open flames and smoking<br />
materials away from the battery.<br />
Getting electrolyte in your eyes or on the skin can<br />
cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing and<br />
a face shield or have a skilled technician to do the<br />
battery maintenance.<br />
The battery contains sulphuric acid (electrolyte)<br />
which is poisonous and highly corrosive in nature.<br />
1. Check the battery for electrolyte level against the marking<br />
on the battery outer case.<br />
2. Check the battery terminals for corrosion (a white or<br />
yellowish powder). To remove it, cover the terminals with<br />
a solution of baking soda. It will bubble up and turn brown.<br />
When this stops wash it off with plain water. Dry off the<br />
battery with a cloth or paper towel.<br />
Coat the terminal with petroleum jelly to prevent future<br />
corrosion.<br />
