THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
BEFORE STARTING
Study this manual and the other manuals provided with your
SeaStar Steering system carefully, and thoroughly to familiarize
yourself with all of the components and their intended or required
mounting locations. Ensure there is adequate space available for
installation of all components, hydraulic lines, and easy access for
service. It is good practice to mount all components first, before
running hoses. This allows port to port connection with less
chance of an error. If you must run hoses first, a system of
marking the various lines must be used. ALL hose ends must be
closed with tape or similar material to prevent contamination.
Contamination is the most common cause of system failure.
Read ALL bold print text, notes and cautions. Reading them now
will help prevent unexpected surprises during the installation.
SeaStar/SeaStar PRO Steering hoses CANNOT
be cut. Cutting
these hoses will render them useless. Failing to comply may result
in possible loss of steering causing property damage, personal
injury and/or death.
The SeaStar and SeaStar PRO Power Assist pump will automatically
recognize the power source output (12/24Volt). If connecting SeaStar,
or SeaStar PRO Power Assist directly to the batter y, the connection
MUST be fused in compliance with ABYC specifications.
WARNING
DO NOT use SeaStar Nylon tube with P/A unit, other than to plumb
the compensating line. Use of SeaStar or SeaStar PRO steering
hose is the ONLY hose recommended for use with the P/A unit.
CAUTION
Confirm that all components needed to complete the installation
are purchased, including: helm pump, steering cylinder, hoses,
fluid, fittings and pipe sealant such as Loctite PST, NEVER USE
TEFLON TAPE.
CAUTION
Take EXTREME care not to allow any foreign material or contamination
to enter the hydraulic system. Contamination is the main cause
for a hydraulic system to wear and or fail. Keep protective caps
on hose ends until ready to install onto the fitting.
CAUTION
NOTICE
These instructions have been made as complete as
possible, but as brief as practical. If you have any questions,
