As far as tools and torque are concerned, please refer to the
installation manuals of KIT OB-SVS and KIT OB-MD.
CAUTION
NO
At the end of the installation make sure that the pipes do not interfere with the
engine and with fixed or mobile parts of the boat or of the steering system
itself.
WARNING
The minimum bending radius of the pipes is 250 mm
[10"]
. Any excessive pipe bending could break them
by compromising the good operation of the system. If necessary, replace the damaged pipe.
WARNING
Keep clean. Make sure that working areas are free from dust and dirt.
The protective plugs of threaded holes must be removed only before the
connection of fittings and pipes. Make sure that pipes are perfectly clean
and free from swarf. If copper or steel pipes are used, cleaning is
mandatory. If the installer uses pipes that are different from those
indicated in this manual, he must take full responsibility for it.
WARNING
WARNING
Keep the pipes far from heat sources and from chemical substances.
Protect the pipes that must pass through bulkheads by using suitable
thru hulls. The bends must be perfectly smooth; any bent pipe or dent
would prevent the hydraulic oil passage.

WARNING
Never exceed the recommended torque to prevent the hydraulic
system from being damaged.
NOTICE
In case of use with inboard cylinders, follow the indications in the corresponding use and maintenance
manuals for the hydraulic hose connection. For the connection to the cylinder, use ALWAYS SVS series
hoses. If the system is used with hoses, which are not supplied by
ULTRAFLEX
, verify that the system is
dimensioned to bear pressures up to 105 bar (1500 psi).
