4.1.2 Check of interferences
Check there are no interferences among components such as cylinders, tie bars, engines, etc. according to the
instructions below. Also check that the cables can move freely with a bending radius not lower than 250 mm.
DANGER
If the instructions below are not followed, this may damage the cylinder compromising the correct operation of
the steering system.
- With the engine completely lowered, turn the steering wheel slowly in one direction and then in the opposite
one up to the end of stroke and check the absence of all types of interferences. Repeat the same operation after
lifting the engines
too..
- After lifting the engine, check the distance between the lower part of the cylinder and the transom and the engine
fixing bolts. If the cylinder comes into contact with any fixed part, immediately stop tilting and contact ULTRAFLEX
Customer Care
- In case of boats with more than one engine, lower them and put them towards the bottom in port position and
towards the top in starboard position. Turn the steering wheel slowly in one direction and then in the opposite
one up to the end of stroke and check the absence of all types of interferences. Repeat the same operation after
reversing the engine position.
- Check that no combination of trim, tilt and steer can create interferences. Otherwise, contact ULTRAFLEX Customer
Care.
4.2 System operation
WARNING
Never start and use the system if any component does not work correctly: this may result in a loss of control
causing impacts and/or capsizing of the boat with material damage and physical injuries that could lead to death..
WARNING
While the boat is moving, avoid moving from one steering station to the other one. Put the engine in neutral po-
sition and wait until the boat stops.
