INSTALLATION AND OWNERS MANUAL
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR BOAT Ensure that the following check list is carried out 1 Perform system pressure test by turning helm to hard over and then an additional 1/4 to 1/2 of a turn. This will pressurize this side of the system. Check all fittings and seals for leaks and repeat the process in the opposite direction. Repair or replace any leaking component prior to operating vessel. 2 Test the steering system. Complete two (2) full cycles with the engine being taken from hard over to hard over in both the fully tilted DOWN and fully tilted UP positions. During this operation inspect ALLmoving components to ensure that no interference or restriction of mechanical components is present through the full range of travel including: NOinterference between cylinder, drag link, fasteners, engine cowling, tie-bar, transom, adjustable engine lift plates, splashwell or other surfaces; NO stretching, crushing, or restriction of movement of hydraulic lines, kinking or chafing of lines against bulkhead/splashwell entry points or any other contact points. •Confirm that there is no interference between the steering cylinder and the transom, splashwell or jackplate or any positional combination of these parts by performing these simple steps: •Fully trim and tilt engine and turn steering from hard over to hard over while checking for interference at all positions. (If interference occurs it must be eliminated prior to operating vessel.) •Confirm that the steering cylinder can be stroked fully in both directions as well as fill tilt and trim without stretching and/or kinking the hydraulic tube/hose. •Confirm that the hydraulic tubing /hose is not subject to chaffing, kinking, pinching or stretching. • Stretched, kinked or chafed tubing/hose will fail over a period of time.
