WARNING
Failure to follow the maintenance checks can result in steering failure causing property damage
and/or personal injury.
The maintenance requirements vary according to climate, frequency and use.
The entire system must be inspected at least every year by an expert marine engineer.
Check or require specialized personnel to check, every six month, any presence of wear on pipes
and on the entire system, the tightening of bolts and nuts, and to check their integrity. Check the
fittings and the conditions of cylinder and steering system's gaskets, in order to prevent any leaks:
replace them if necessary.
In case of professional use, the check must be carried out every month, if not otherwise stated in
this manual.
To maintain an appropriate level of oil in the tank, proceed filling and bleeding the system as
described in section 3.5 - "Filling and bleeding."
Cleanse the system using water and mild and non-abrasive soap.
CAUTION
Use only OL150 ULTRAFLEX oil, or compatible hydraulic oils, as referred to in "Filling and bleeding"
sections.
