joes mack Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 How do you bleed the air out of the steering system on a CF 600 ? we had to move one of our trucks around to put tire chains on it today and the steering was hard to turn almost like it was locked until I revved the engine up pretty high and then it started steering fine I shut it down and checked the oil in it and almost put a gallon in it and now you have to rev it up to get it to steer when you first start it. I hope its not something worse than air locked. thanks joe Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43648-bleeding-air-from-steering/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
m16ty Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Usually you can just turn the wheel lock to lock a few times and get all the air out.I just blew a PS hose on my RD822 and dumped all the fluid. I just replaced the hose, filled the reservoir back up, cycled the system a few times, and was good to go.

41chevy Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Turn the wheel very slow to bleed the air out and not cause it to foam.
