- Manually unscrew the two bleed valves
on the cylinder "T" fittings and push the
cylinders to one side up to the end stroke.
- Position the oil bottle near the main
steering station (upper) according to what
is described in paragraph 3.6.1.
Wait until the oil reaches the lower tank and
both tanks are filled.
- Follow the same purging procedure
described in paragraph 3.6.2 starting
from the lower station and repeat it for
the upper station.
WARNING
- Repeat the entire procedure at least 4 times to ensure the absence of air in the system.
3.7 General recommendation
It is very important to check the absence of air in the system before using the boat! We recommend trying
to manually move the engine towards port and starboard, making sure that there is no movement of the
cylinder body on the main cylinder shaft.
If the cylinder body moves more than 1/6 inches (15mm), there is still air in the system. The air presence in
the system can cause bad responses to the controls and so it can cause damage, injuries or death.
WARNING
For the additional steering station (lower) tank use only the silver non-vent plug (supplied with the "kit OB-
2S"). For the main steering station (upper) tank use only the black vent plug.
