cylinder rod to the other side.

Clean up any spills of oil and wipe
fittings clean. Remove any buckets or
equipment a short distance from the
cylinders and fittings.
14. Use the Autopilot to extend the rod fully
in one direction and then the other.

hydraulic fluid near or on fittings and

**** IMPORTANT ****
DURING THE FIRST TWO TO THREE THE WEEKS AFTER YOU HAVE INSTALLED THE
PUMP AND BLED THE STEERING SYSTEM, THERE MAY STILL BE SOME RESIDUAL AIR
SUSPENDED IN THE OIL. TO PREVENT POOR STEERING PERFORMANCE, IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT YOU CHECK YOUR STEERING SYSTEM RESERVOIR SEVERAL TIMES
AFTER THE INITIAL INSTALLATION AND TOP IT UP AS NECESSARY. SHOULD THERE BE
NO RESERVOIR IN YOUR STEERING SYSTEM, PLEASE CHECK THE LEVEL OF THE
HIGHEST HELM PUMP AND TOP IT UP AS NECESSARY. CONSULT THE STEERING
MANUFACTURER FOR DETAILS.
