1-3

Before installation

• Read and understand this manual, and any other manuals supplied with

this system.

• Ensure you have all the required components on hand before you start.
• Do not use a wheel-mounted trim switch with coiled cord. The cord can

wrap around the steering wheel shaft and inhibit steering.

During installation

• Install components as instructed in this manual. Some component parts

and kits may contain additional installation instructions – refer also to

those instructions.

• Do not substitute any component of the system. Dometic and Optimus

parts are rigorously engineered and tested to ensure system integrity.

Substitution of components may compromise safety, performance, and

reliability.

• If an instruction is unclear, contradictory, or you are otherwise unsure how

to proceed, do not guess. Contact Dometic Marine technical support.

After installation

• Perform the system inspection and interference checks described in

section 3.1.1 and 3.1.2.

• Correct any interference issues before handing the boat to the owner.

1.3 Safety considerations for installers

WARNING!

Optimus EPS with Electric Actuator must be installed by an authorized

dealer or OEM boat builder.

WARNING!

Failure to comply with these instructions may result in a loss of steering

control, which could lead to a collision and/or ejection from the boat,

causing property damage, personal injury, and/or death.
