CONTINUOUS KINKING, RUBBING, CHAFING OR TWISTING OF A
STEERING HOSE MAY EVENTUALLY WEAKEN THE HOSE(S) TO A
POINT WHERE IT COULD RUPTURE, CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING
CONTROL, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY AND OR
DEATH.
When plumbing the Optimus EPS system it is extremely important to
get all of the connections in the correct place. When the hoses are
being pulled through the boat it is easy to lose track of which hoses
are which. To assure proper connections each kit is supplied with a
sheet of labels that MUST be used to identify each hose end. Attach
the labels to the hoses BEFORE routing the hoses in the boat.
The sheet also contains labels to identify the port and starboard power
ste
ering pumps, service valves (if remote valves are used), and
SmartCylinder cables. Place all labels so they can be easily read
after the installation is complete as they are a great help when
servicing the system. See illustration below.
