The oil level MUST be checked and maintained BEFORE
EACH use to ensure safe steering operation. Failure to adhere to
this warning may lead to loss of steering control resulting in
persons being ejected from vessel or collision with an obstacle,
leading to property damage, personal injury and/or death
Side mount and Splashwell mount cylinder are unbalanced. To set
the oil level in the helm pump the cylinder rod MUST be fully
“retracted (cylinder shaft all the way in the cylinder body). Failure
to adhere to this caution WILL result in oil spillage at the helm
filler port and/or stiff steering operation.
• For helms mounted with the wheel shaft completely horizontal
MUST be filled to the bottom of filler hole AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT
allow oil level to drop more than 1/4” below filler threads.
• For helms mounted on a 20 degree angle, or, with wheel shaft in
the vertical position, oil level should be within 1/2” of filler hole.
The system check MUST be completed after installation.
Doing so will ensure the safe operation of your steering system
and will any fault/leak will show at this time. Failure to adhere to
this warning/check may result in the loss of steering control
leading to ejection from the vessel, or, collision with an obstacle
resulting in property damage, personal injury and/or death.
• Turn steering wheel hard over to hard over to confirm unrestricted
movement of the steering system and hoses. Repeat this procedure
in ALL trim/tilt positions of the engine(s)/drive(s)/rudder(s).
If interference
occurs, or, hoses are being stretched this MUST
be removed prior to operating your boat.
