CHAPTER 4 STEERING CONTROL SYSTEM
- 18 - 34z
Filling the helm full of oil can be done faster if oil is poured into the helm prior to
connecting filler tube and oil bottle to the helm.
Step 2
• When air bubbles have
stopped coming out of the
helm, turn the steering wheel
clockwise until the cylinder rod
is fully extended on one side of
the cylinder.
• Open left side bleeder as
indicated on your applicable
diagram
Step 3
• Holding the cylinder rod (to
prevent it from moving back
into the cylinder) turn the
steering wheel counter-
clockwise until a steady stream
of air free oil comes out of the
bleeder. (Drain out approx. 1/2
bottle of oil or as required.)
• While continuing to turn the
wheel, close the left side
bleeder and let go of the
cylinder rod
Step 4
• Continue turning the steering
wheel counter-clock wise until
the cylinder rod is fully extended
at other side of cylinder.
(Steering wheel will come to a stop)
• Open
bleeder.
Step 5
• Holding the cylinder rod (to
prevent it from moving back
into the cylinder) turn the
steering wheel clockwise until
a steady stream of air free oil
comes out of bleeder.
• While continuing to turn the
wheel, close the bleeder and
let go of the cylinder rod.
Fill and purge is now
complete.
Step 1
• Screw the threaded end of the
filler tube into the helm filler
hole.
• Remove the cap from the oil
bottle and holding upright,
screw into the filler tube bottle
cap. Poke hole in the bottom of
the bottle if entire bottle is to
be used.
• Fill the helm pump full of oil
(Oil should always be visible in
the filler tube). Use the next
bottle at any time throughout
the procedure when the oil
level drops in the filler tube. Do
not proceed with step two until
helm is full of oil.
