Introduction

Congratulations on your selection of the MotorVac STEERCLEAN Service System. By choosing
this product, you are acquiring the most technologically advanced method available for power
steering service and fluid exchange.

The STEERCLEAN System is a self-contained system; designed to service virtually all power
steering systems. Once the unit is connected, it can be used to exchange all the old power steering
fluid with new, while flushing and conditioning the fluid at the same time.

With the engine idling, simply follow the simple instructions on the control panel. The
STEERCLEAN Service System is designed to be fast, easy, and highly profitable. How profitable is
up to you! Every car or truck that comes into your shop with over 30,000 miles is a potential
customer. This service is also recommended every two years. But the key to profit is to sell the
service, so we have included a detailed sales procedure at the end of this manual.

It is recommended that a vehicle’s power steering system be serviced every 30,000 miles or every
two years (Or according to the vehicle owner’s manual) to obtain the highest lubricant protection, to
reduce friction and wear from internal components, and thus increase the efficiency and life span of
the power steering system to it’s maximum.

Please study this Operators Manual to become thoroughly familiar with the STEERCLEAN Power
Steering Service System.

IMPORTANT

Use of other chemicals during this process may cause operational failure of the

STEERCLEAN System and voids the manufacturer’s warranty.
