Step 3.2 Fill & Purge using Power Purge
BEFORE bleeding the main steering system (helm, hoses and
cylinders), the RETURN line will need to be purged.
• Install the helm adapter into the helm pump and attach the helm
hose from the power purge unit.
• Connect one of the fluid return hoses (cylinder lines) from the
Power Purge unit to the reservoir bleed fitting on the SeaStar
Autopilot pump (see figure 9 on page 17 for bleed fitting location).
• Open reservoir bleed fitting 1 turn.
Refer to your Power Purge installation manual for important
Warnings and Notices while using the Power Purge Units.
• Turn ON the Power Purge unit and continue to run until NO air is
visible leaving the SeaStar Autopilot pump.
• Turn OFF Power Purge unit.
• Close the reservoir bleed fitting and torque to 180 in-lbs.
• Remove the hose from the reservoir bleed fitting and connect to
the bleeder fittings on the steering cylinder. Be sure that the quick
connect is locked onto the fitting.
• Open ALL cylinder bleed fittings 1-1/2 turn.
• Turn Power Purge unit ON.
• Oil should flow into and out of the helm pump. Wait twenty
seconds for the helm to fill with oil.
• Quickly turn the steering wheel clockwise until the cylinder rod is
fully extended (you may have to manually push the cylinder rod).
SLOWLY continue to turn the wheel to hold the cylinder in this
position for approximately 30 seconds. Ensure there are NO air
bubbles escaping through the cylinder hoses.
• Quickly turn the steering wheel counter-clockwise until the cylinder
rod is fully extended (you may have to manually push the cylinder
rod). SLOWLY continue to turn the wheel to hold the cylinder in
this position for approximately 30 seconds. Ensure there are NO
air bubbles escaping through the cylinder hoses.
• Turn OFF Power Purge unit.
• Remove hoses and replace helm vent cap.
• Tighten ALL bleed fittings on the steering cylinder(s) and torque to
180 in-lbs.
