Connect and Fill the Hydraulic System
Before you start………
x
The fittings in the electro hydraulic unit (Pump unit) and the Cylinder are barbed hose fittings.
It is important that you push the hose completely over the barbs. Use some fluid to lube the inside
of hose before pushing them on. It will make the process slightly easier.
x
This process may be a little messy so keep a few rags handy.
Safety glasses
are also a good idea.
x
If you haven’t already
, loosen the steering tension adjustment
on your motor to the minimum
setting. The motor should turn very easily. (
If necessary refer to your outboard motor’s
owner’s manual).
x
As with all hydraulic systems, it is very important to keep any dirt or debris from entering
the system.
Step One
Remove the
Left
side of the kinked clear shipping tube from
the E-H unit. Keep the kinked clear tube (with the tie wrap)
on the
Right
barbed fitting (It will act as a plug).Fig.A
Step Two
Run a
continuous
section of black rubber hose from the
Left
E-H fitting, out the back of the boat to the cylinder and back
into the boat to the pump.
Do not cut the hose at this time.
