t  Catch pan for hydraulic oil
  Note
t  The oils used in the power-steering gears do not contain any harmful substances. These oils may be disposed of together with the drained engine and gearbox oil.
t  Dispose of used oils in compliance with the applicable environmental regulations.
t  Used oils (this concept refers to used engine and gear oils including ATF as well as mineral hydraulic oils), suitable for preparation must never be mixed with brake fluid, antifreeze agent, artificial resin or thinners, chemicals etc.
t  After "draining" the used parts must be allowed to drip adequately.
t  When disposing of used parts comply with the legal specifications as there are minor residual amounts of hydraulic oil in the power-steering gears.
