Before Starting
Carefully study this manual and ALL other manuals provided with
your SeaStar Steering system to familiarize yourself with all of the
components and their intended, or required mounting locations.
Ensure that there is adequate space available for installation of all
components and easy access for service. It is good practice to
mount all components before installing hoses. This allows port to
port connection with less chance of an error. If you must run hoses
first, a system of marking the various lines must be used. ALL
hose ends must be closed with tape or similar material to prevent
contamination. CONTAMINATION IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF
SYSTEM FAILURE.
Read ALL bold print text, notes, cautions and warnings. Reading them
now will help prevent unexpected surprises during the installation.
These instructions have been made as complete as possible, and
as brief as practical. If you have any questions, please contact your
Distributor or SeaStar Solutions for assistance.
