Slack or worn pump drive belt Replace the belt and adjust its tension.
The steering wheel is rotated with great effort
Slack or worn pump drive belt Adjust the belt tension.
The low level of liquid in the tank refueling Add a liquid.
A small number of engine idling Adjust the idle speed.
A dirty filter tank filling Replace the filter.
