Foton 404 Steering is hard/impossible when sitting still

Thanks Wa11banger,
I'm considering running kero thru my PS system because of the other fluids being pretty cruddy.
The fluid in my reservoir does not look too bad.
Just don't want to starve or ruin the pump with no fluid.
Because of yours & greg-g posts, I assume that not much fluid or pressure generates unless the wheels are turned.
Does both lines at the PS cylinder need to be removed at the same time or do one then the other ?
What RPM did you have engine ?
I do not know which or if one is pressure & one is return.
Thanks, David

I didnt run kero it ran clean pretty quick. No fluid leaked while I wasnt turning the wheel. They each are both pressure and return as the steering control valve controls which cylinder will get pressure to turn the wheel and which will be in bypass. Remove them one at a time so you can turn the otner way completely and compress the other cylinder all the way after you finish the first one..

I performed it at idle
