^
Start and run the engine until it warms up.
^

psi) but not over 7 bars (102 psi).
^
Turn the steering wheel to a full left-turn position (against stop) and note gauge reading. Pressure should be at least 50 bars (725 psi) but not over
65 bars (943 psi). Pressure should also not differ from side-to-side by more than 5 bars (72 psi) and gauge needle should not fluctuate.
