C1Difficulty 3/5

A lorry has hydraulic power steering with a reservoir marked MIN and MAX. Should its fluid level be checked?

Correct answer

Yes, and check that the level is between the maximum and minimum marks.

Yes, follow the manufacturer’s interval and procedure and check that the level remains within the indicated range. Do not overfill or wait until steering becomes difficult. Use the specified fluid and checking conditions, and check for leaks. This applies to hydraulic steering; not every steering system has such a reservoir.
