Introduction

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

The STEERCLEAN-II 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 push the Start button and follow the verbal commands. The
STEERCLEAN-II 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 STEERCLEAN­II Power Steering Service System.

IMPORTANT

The STEERCLEAN-II Service System is designed to work

EXCLUSIVELY

with MotorVac Products.

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

the STEERCLEAN-II System and voids the manufacturer’s warranty.

See warranty card for details.
