3: THE WARNING LIGHT 
If for any reason the system develops an oil leak, then the pressure will drop and the accumulator indicator will start to protrude. 

If left undetected, the warning light will eventually come on; when the system pressure has dropped to approximately 1.5 bar (20 PSI). 

At this stage the steer system is still in a safe and useable condition, however it is highly advisable that any oil leak be detected and repaired and the system primed to 6 bar (85 PSI) as soon as possible. Refer to the hydraulic system (in the workshop manual). 

C: STEERING ALIGNMENT 
Models produced prior to September 2000 require the steering to be aligned manually; Models produced after this date have an automatic alignment system. 

MANUAL ALIGNMENT 
WARNING: MANUAL ALIGNMENT SHOULD ONLY BE ATTEMPTED BY COMPETENT PERSONNEL AFTER HAVING FIRST CONSULTED THE WORKSHOP MANUAL. 
SERIOUS DAMAGE CAN OCCUR IF ALL INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FULLY ADHERED TO. 
 
AUTOMATIC ALIGNMENT 
Automatic alignment takes place when the tractor unit is turned to 90 degrees to the trailer in both left and right directions. It will be necessary to carry out the above operation every time the tractor unit is uncoupled and re-coupled, or if steering axle misalignment occurs
