Power steering fill on MF 202

Took the pump off. All parts look good. going to take out the relief valve and check it.
If it looks okay I think I'll reinstall pump. Just wondering how to fill with oil. It says
to fill 1/4 above filter. Understood. What about all the hoses? Is there a place by the
steering gear (bottom of steering wheel) where more oil can be added? How does oil get in all
the hoses and cylinders, etc. Not sure how you set the relief valve after running a while. Do
you just take the canister lid off and adjust with a screwdriver that way?
Hope my questions aren't too stupid sounding. I'm just a
retired 18 wheel driver who is now trying to get the 202 running. Thanks to everyone for help!
 
I would not adjust the relief valve unless you've already moved the adjustment. It takes a gauge and ability to stop the oil flow to set the pressure. Get it too high it can be destructive to the pump and other components!

If the valve is the problem, it's not because it's out of adjustment. Something has happened, the spring is broken, the valve is stuck open, or something is jammed in it holding it open.

Fill the reservoir through the top, the pump will carry the oil through the steering gear and lines. It uses ATF or light hydraulic oil. Fill it, start it, it will begin circulating. The level may drop if the system is empty, top it up to about 3/4 inch from the top. Cycle the steering a few times to purge any trapped air.

You can run it with the top open, should see oil swirling if the pump is working.
