Filling and Bleeding the Hydraulic Steering System

Power Purge Method
A Teleflex Power Purge system can be used to
bleed the steering system. Make sure the purging
unit has the correct hydraulic fluid. See
Hydraulic
Steering Fluid on p. 48. Purge the steering sys-
tem manually if the fluid in the purging unit is a
non-approved or unknown type. See
Manual
Method on p. 48.
IMPORTANT:
Turn the key switch to the ON po-
sition for models with DPS.
If installing dual outboards a Teleflex Dual Cylin-
der Purging Kit is also required.
1. Remove the fill cap from the helm. Connect the
hydraulic fluid supply line of the purging unit to
the helm.
2. Connect the hydraulic fluid return lines of the
purging unit to the two bleed valves of the
steering system.
3. Loosen both bleed valves one-half turn. Then
turn the purge unit ON.

4. Turn the steering wheel counter–clockwise
until engine is turned fully to PORT and resis-
tance is felt.
5. Install the steering lock tool, P/N 357717, to
hold engine in full PORT turn.

end of the steering lock tool to the steering
arm.

bracket using the provided nut and washer.

counter–clockwise until air bubbles are no lon-
ger visible.
