B4c Installation
• Prepare the steering cylinder
i) Use the helm to extend the steering
cylinder to full hard over as shown in
Fig B19 (it may be necessary to run
the engine to do this).
ii) Remove the cotter and clevis pins that
connect the primary steering cable
rod end to the steering cylinder clevis
bracket.
• Fit the drive collar and spacer bush
i) Use the helm to retract the primary
steering cable to full opposite hard
over so the rod end disengages from
the cylinder clevis bracket (Fig B20a).
ii) Slacken the clamp screw and lock nut
on the fitting kit drive collar.
iii) Fit the spacer bush* on to the steering
cylinder sleeve, ensure it is correctly
oriented - refer to Fig B20b.
* The spacer bush is not required on Volvo
models 3862513 and 3862514 which were fitted
from Sept 2003 onwards - the drive collar will clamp
directly onto the cable guide tube .
iv) Slide the drive collar on to the steering
cylinder and over the spacer bush as
shown in the diagram.
Do not tighten
the clamp screw at this stage .
v) Use the helm to extend the primary
steering cable back to full hard over
so that the rod end re-engages into
the cylinder clevis bracket.
