Ram Drive Unit Installation
General consideration must be given to the steering system and its
geometry before starting the installation. Many factors must be
contemplated for a practical solution. The information given here is for
guidance only, although where a maximum or minimum value is given
this must be adhered to.
It is essential that the unit is only installed in a fully functional steering
system, with no backlash or stiffness when operating. Rectify any steering
problems before installation of the ram drive unit or the Pilot will not
function correctly.
Key Points On Installation
Check that the steering gear is in good condition. Rectify any steering
defects before installation of the ram.
The ram drive unit must be secured onto a flat, rigid base; it may be
necessary to construct a platform section for the mounting plate. For
angled rudderstocks, an angled platform section will have to be
constructed.
All setting up and aligning of the ram drive unit with the steering system
should be carried out with the rudder in the amidships position and the
ram arm at the centre point of its travel.
The ram arm should ideally be at right-angles to the rudderstock. The
ball-joint on the end of the ram arm will allow a MAXIMUM of ±9º of
misalignment.
for type 3 reservoir installation
Do not turn the black reservoir tap on or attempt to move the piston
rod until all of the following are completed:
The base foot of the ram and pump have been bolted into position.
The reservoir has been fixed to a bulkhead above the ram and the pump.
The reservoir has been filled with the oil supplied.
