STEERING SYSTEM - BLEEDING INSTRUCTIONS
Reference the bleeding instructions provided by the Teleflex™ owner’s manual, which is included in your
“Owner’s Portfolio”. Use them in conjunction with the instructions and diagram below to bleed the steering system.
This should be done annually.
STEP 1
1. Using a filler tube, fill the helm
with oil. When completed, you
should be able to see oil in the
filler tube.
2. Open the steering system valve
located under the inspection plate
in the center of the transom.
STEP 2
1. Open the bleed fitting labeled #1
and pull the cylinder shaft all the
way out on the fitting #1 side.
2. Holding the shaft to prevent it
from moving back into the cylin-
der, have someone turn the wheel
clockwise until a steady stream of
oil flows through the fitting.
3. Close bleed fitting #1.
STEP 3
1. Open the bleed fitting labeled #2.
and pull the cylinder shaft all the
way out on the fitting #2 side.
2. Holding the shaft to prevent it
from moving back into the cylin-
der, have someone turn the wheel counter-clockwise until a steady stream of oil flows through the fitting.
3. Close bleed fitting #2 and repeat Step 3 for bleed fittings #3 and #4.
STEP 4
1. When you complete the bleeding process, turn the wheel hard over in each direction at least twice. Then
manually adjust the cylinders by pulling the shaft all the way out on the same side of each cylinder and clos-
ing the steering system valve.
NOTICE
If possible, have your dealer or trained marine technician perform routine maintenance or repairs on
your steering system. Replace faulty parts immediately.
