Power Steering Conversion Kit Installation Instructions

Do not allow dirt, water, or other debris to enter the expansion chamber or transmission. Even a small amount of dirt can damage the transmission

The hydraulic system is powered by the hydrostatic transmission charge pump, and subsequently shares oil with the transmission. It is for this reason that great care must be taken when adding or replacing hydraulic system parts to prevent contaminants from entering the transmission.
