Citroen 7550 manual Driving

Driving

To achieve this start the engine, accelerating slightly to save time. Set thelever A (fig. 23 and 24) to position 5 and wait until the car has settled at its maximum

height.

Check now that the level is steady between the "High" and "Low" marks of the transparent indicator at A.

To top up only use the green fluid "LHM" distributed by the firm "TOTAL".

No other fluid may be used, especially those of a vegetable or synthetic origin such as CH 12-04, LHS2 or brake fluids: these quickly and completely ruin the car's hydraulic system.

IN AN EMERGENCY you can use:

∙either engine oil TYPE SAE 10 or SAE 20,

∙or oil for a hydraulic transmission FLUID A, TYPE A,

ensuring that the reservoir is drained at the earliest opportunity and the prescribed fluid is substituted.

To drain the reservoir lower the car to its minimum height by moving the lever A (fig. 23) to position 6, then open the bleed screw on the Pressure Regulator. Unclip the tube B at C (fig. 9) from the lower clips and bend the tube downwards.

Remove the blanking plug D (fig. 10) and allow the fluid to drain from the reservoir.

Reset the lever to NORMAL (position 2) after refilling.
