• Place the tank in a position where you have access to connection and inspection points. Ensure that there is enough space to lift out
and replace the filters. Keep in mind to make room for access to the oil filling point.
•
NB: Place the tank high enough to get the oil level above the hydraulic pump. The system requires overpressure in the
pumps suction line.
• Fasten the tank assembly properly.
• Ground the tank electrically to the boats bonding system.
•
Ensure that the tank and other components are thoroughly clean before you start installation of fittings and hoses. Also,
make sure that the fittings and hoses are thoroughly clean (avoid ingress of dirt, water and other contamination).

NB: Using sharp 90° elbows, T-connections and smaller hoses than recommended in the hydraulic schematic will increase
the resistance in the system and reduce the efficiency/performance.
Using plumbing tape, hemp, similar products or excessive amounts of tread sealant can contaminate the hydraulic oil and
cause blockage inside valves and pumps.
