STEERING SYSTEM - BLEEDING INSTRUCTIONS

Reference the bleeding instructions provided by the Teleflex™ owner’s manual, which is

included in your “Owner’s Portfolio”. Use them in conjunction with the instructions and diagram

below to bleed the steering system at least annually.

STEP 1

1. Using a filler tube, fill the

helm with oil. When com-

pleted, you should be able

to see oil in the filler tube.

STEP 2

1. Using the helm, turn

counter clockwise to the

mechanical lock.

2. Open bleed fitting #1.

3. Have some turn the wheel

counter clockwise until a

steady stream of oil flows

through the fitting.

4. Close bleed fitting #1.

STEP 3

1. Using the helm, turn clock-

wise to the mechanical lock.

2. Open bleed fitting #2.

3. Have some turn the wheel

clockwise until a steady

stream of oil flows through

the fitting.

4. Close bleed fitting #2.

STEP 4

1. When you complete the bleeding process, turn the wheel hard over in each direction at

least twice. If you experience rough steering, it may be necessary to bleed the system a

second time to purge the lines.

NOTICE

If possible, have your dealer or trained marine technician perform routine mainte-

nance or repairs on your steering system. Replace faulty parts immediately.
