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
cylinder, 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
cylinder, 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.
