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 or when air is detected in the system.
NOTICE
If possible, have your dealer or trained marine technician perform routine maintenance or repairs on your steering
system. Replace faulty parts immediately.
5.7.1 Step 1
Using a filler tube, fill the helm with oil. When completed, you
should be able to see oil in the filler tube. Do not proceed with
step two until helm is full of oil.
5.7.2 Step 2
Open the bleed fitting labeled #1 and pull the cylinder shaft all
the way out on the fitting #1 side.
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.
Close bleed fitting #1.
5.7.3 Step 3
Open the bleed fitting labeled #2. and pull the cylinder shaft all
the way out on the fitting #2 side.
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.
Close bleed fitting #2.
5.7.4 Step 4
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 closing the steering system valve.
