3.3 Standard (starboard) cylinder installation
During the installation phases use only stainless
steel tools to avoid the corrosion of the metal parts.
CAUTION
1
In case of single cylinder installation mount the supplied
caps on the cylinder body as shown in the picture.
CAUTION
During this phase an oil leak from the fittings can
occur. This oil must not be discharged into the sea in
any case.
2
After removing the protective caps of the
fittings, manually center the rod (1) on the cylinder
body (2).
3
Mount the link arm (3) on the cylinder body as
shown in the picture by means of the supplied screws
(4). Tighten the supplied screws by using a 8mm Allen
wrench with a torque of 76[Nm] (56 [lb
·
ft]).
4
Position the lock washer (5) and tighten it with
the screw (6), by using Loctite 270 (torque 3[Nm] (2
[lb
·
ft]).
5
Position the engine straight so that its arm is
perpendicular to the transom.
The operations described in points 3 and 4 must be
carried out only during the first installation. The choice
of the link arm depends on the engine type (see
attached Application Guide). Do not disassemble the
arm from the cylinder body in any case.

maximum allowed torque. If it is lower than that
shown in this manual, always use the torque
indicated by your mechanic.
WARNING
It is important to check periodically, at least every 3
months (or every month for professional uses), the
right torque of this screw (8) and of the locknut (7).
