PUMP FOR HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
Installation and maintenance manual
5.1 Ordinary maintenance
5 MAINTENANCE
Poor installation and maintenance may result in loss of steering and cause property damage and/or perso-
nal injury. Maintenance requirements change according to climate, frequency and the use. Inspections are
necessary at least every year and must be carried out by specialized marine mechanics. Check the cylinder
fittings and the seals and the helm gaskets to prevent leaks. Replace them if necessary.
To keep a suitable oil level in the tank, fill and bleed the system as described in this manual in paragraph
3.11 and in the bleeding procedure of
UFLEX
cylinders. Check the hose and the entire system wear, the nut
and bolt tightening every six months and make sure that they are not damaged. Clean the system using
water and non-abrasive soap.
Use only compatible hydraulic oils, indicated in the paragraph "technical features" and "filling and purging".
Do not use brake oils or automatic transmission fluid (ATF) in any case.

5.3 Troubleshooting
Whenever the following checks need the removal and/or disassembly of the steering system components,
such work must be carried by specialized staff.
UFLEX

for any consequences resulting from incorrect disassembly.
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
•
Blockage in the hoses between
steering system and cylinder.
•
Air in the system.
•
Leaks from the cylinder
bleeder.
•
Coiled hose.

Repeat the filling and the bleeding
procedure of the system.
•
Install horizontally the hoses and in
any case with a maximum inclination
of 3cm each meter.

Mount the helm with the filling hole in
up position.
