Step 5
• Close the cylinder bleed fitting and move the by-pass line to
the second bleeder. Open the bleeder by turning loosening the
bleeder nut 3/4 of a turn.
• Return to the helm closest to the cylinder and turn the wheel
counter clockwise until the cylinder moves to hard over in the
opposite direction.
• When the cylinder reaches hard over, begin turning in a
clockwise direction for approximately 80 turns at a one to two
second per revolution pace.
• At each successively higher helm station, turn the wheel
clockwise approximately 80 turns at a one to two second per
revolution pace.
• When finished, close the cylinder bleed fitting.
Step 6
• Release the air pressure from the reservoir.
• Remove the quick connect adapter and fill the reservoir to the
maximum level line.
• Replace the reservoir fill plug and pressurize the reservoir to
between 25 and 30 PSI.
• With the power steering pump(s) running, turn one of the helm
pumps from lock to lock approximately 20 times. If the pumps
are engine driven, run the engines between 600 and 800 RPM
for half the turns then increase the engine speed to about
1200 RPM.
• Check the fluid level in the reservoir. If it is less than half,
release the air pressure, remove the filler plug and fill to the
maximum line.
• Pressurize the reservoir to between 25 and 30 PSI.
Before continuing to a higher station, check the fluid level and
air pressure in the reservoir. If the fluid level is below half,
release the air pressure and refill to the maximum level line
and pressurize the reservoir to between 25 and 30 PSI.
If all the air is out of the system, when the reservoir is pressurized,
the fluid level will remain stable. If the fluid level drops more than
an inch and then stabilizes, the system should be purged a
second time.
