Cylinders. The hardware may not be appropriate for other

systems.

Center the drives. Loosely secure the LF3000 to the

supplied mounting bracket, across the center of the drive

unit cylinder. Either cylinder may be used if there is a dual

set up. You may mount the feedback in either direction,

i.e. the shaft of LF3000 may point to port or starboard.

Loosen the end bolt (a) used to secure the cylinder to the

drive unit mount. Insert the rod retaining assembly (b)

and retighten the bolt. Secure the feedback rod to the

retainer plate using the two washers and the cap nut

provided. Adjust the location of the LF3000 Linear

Feedback to allow full travel of the hydraulic cylinder

without causing the retainer plate to hit the end of the

cylinder. Check that the outboard motor can be tilted

freely. Tighten all nuts and the mounting bracket.

Turn the helm slowly by hand to the stop on either side,

check that the rod does not bind up in any direction. Make

a “drip nose” (c) on the cable to the unit and clamp the

cable to allow full engine movement to port and starboard.
