INTRODUCTION
to the Flo-Dynamics PSX3000
Congratulations on the purchase of your PSX3000 power steering fluid
exchanging machine!
Simply put, this machine is the cleanest, safest, easiest, fastest, most thorough,
and most cost-efficient method of power steering fluid exchange ever devised.
Suddenly, power steering maintenance has become a more realistic proposition.
Fluid exchanges are cleaner and neater than ever!
Service neglect leads to power steering system complaints including poor
handling, hard or sluggish steering, and objectionable noise. Historically, power
steering system fluid service has been neglected, often due to the lack of a
convenient method for providing such flush or fluid exchange services. Previous
methods for flushing the power steering system or replacing the power steering
fluid were time consuming and often inefficient or incomplete. Now, it’s easier
than ever to replace up to 95% of the old power steering fluid in less than 8
minutes, to ensure your power steering system has a long, trouble-free life.
Please take time to read through this manual to familiarize yourself with the
PSX3000 before performing your first power steering fluid exchange.
