110 If pfoper care is taken to prevent the entry of dirt into the reservoir, and if the filter Figure 8 element is changed periodically, it should not be necessary to ever drain and replace the hydraulic ·steering fluid. Power Steering Fluld Temperature After the engine has been operating for a few minu~ffe;the steering fluid will reach its normal operating temperature and the pump will feel very hot to the hand. This is a normal condition found in any hydraulic system and is caused by the fluid from the reservoir being circulated through tlie pump and control valve at a very accelerated rate whenever the engine operates. This condition will cause no difficulty as long as the reservoir .is kept full.
