22 SmartPilot Verado Installation and Commissioning Guide
Connect the hydraulic lines
Referring to the hydraulic circuit on the following page, modify the Mercury hydraulic system
and install the SmartPilot components as follows:
1. Install the barbed hose fitting (with sealing washer) to port ‘R’ on the Type 1 pump.
2. Fit the 3’ (915 mm) return line hose over the barbed hose fitting and secure using the sup-
plied hose clamp.
3. Attach the two 3’ (915 mm) high pressure hoses (with sealing washers) to ports ‘A’ and ’B’
on the Type 1 pump.
4. Attach the UNF Tee fittings (visually inspect the fittings to ensure that the face ‘O’ rings
are in place).
5. Attach the 1’ (315 mm) high pressure hoses to the Tee fittings
6. Attach the barbed Tee fitting to the hose from the Type 1 pump and secure using the sup-
plied hose clamp.
Hydraulic connections at the back of the Verado helm are identified by the following letters:
CAUTION: It is important to verify that you have correctly identified the
low pressure return hose from ‘T’
Do not disconnect or modify the high pressure hose from
‘P’ on the helm to the Mercury hydraulic pump (lower
hose).
WARNING: Do not allow hydraulic fluid to come into prolonged
contact with your skin. Wear protective nitrile gloves
when working with hydraulic fluid.
7. Locate the ‘T’ port Mercury return hose at the back of the Verado helm (leads to the reser-
voir on the hydraulic pump module). Identify a suitable location along its length to install
the barbed Tee fitting.
8. Cut the return hose, install the barbed Tee fitting and secure using the supplied hose
clamps.
Notes: (1)
Hoses cut or removed from the helm should be held upright until reconnected.
(2)
Do not allow hydraulic fluid to drain out of the hoses.
(3)
Check and top-up the hydraulic pump reservoir as necessary during installation.
9. Locate and tag the ‘L’ and ‘R’ Mercury installed hoses at the back of the Verado helm.
10. Remove the Mercury ‘L’ hose and attach to the Tee fitting on the hose from ‘A’ on the Type
1 pump.
E - Blank (not used) L - Left (Port)
R - Right (Starboard) P - High pressure supply
