On a walk around and pre-check of the
motorhome, look for oil leaks under the coach
and around hose ttings. If a hose connection
appears to be leaking, clean the lter and the
surrounding area. If seepage continues, have the
problem corrected to prevent an untimely failure.

Hydraulic Reservoir
The power steering
reservoir with internal
lter is located in the
rear compartment.
The hydraulic lter
assembly, located
inside the reservoir, is
rated at ten micron*.
The reservoir is lled
with 15W-40 motor oil
from the factory.
Filter assembly: Nelson 91085G
Filter number: 84365A (ten micron*)
NOTE:
Filter number is accurate at time of
printing. Confirm part number before
ordering or obtaining replacement.
The primary function of the power steering
reservoir is to keep the steering system free of
contamination and to dissipate excessive heat
that builds during extreme operating conditions.
Check the oil level in the reservoir every 6,000
miles or three months. The oil dipstick ll
is located on top of the reservoir in the rear
compartment. The oil level should be kept
between the full and add marks on the dipstick.
If adding of uid is required, use only 15W-40
motor oil.
