ULTRAFLEX
1.2 Operation in safety conditions
The safety warnings below give information about any risk that could occur during the boat operation and the
prescriptions for a safe navigation.
In no event shall ULTRAFLEX be held responsible for material or physical damage due to the non-compliance with
these
prescriptions.
WARNING
Before beginning the installation, check the mounting compatibility of the UC 128-OBF cylinder to the engine by
consulting the attached document "Application Guide" contained in the packaging.
It is also necessary to read and understand the instructions contained in this manual as well as any other docu-
mentation supplied with the boat.
We recommend keeping on the boat a copy of the Application Guide and/or of this manual to consult it immedi-
ately if necessary.
WARNING
To allow the threadlocker to cure properly, wait 24 hours after assembly before use.
DANGER
Do not modify the steering cylinder in any way to fit it to your engine application: the cylinder will not operate
safely and will endanger the boat (causing possible impacts and capsizing) and its occupants (causing physical
injuries that can lead to death).
WARNING
All ULTRAFLEX steering systems must not be installed on boats equipped with engines whose maximum horse-
power is higher than the horsepower rating approved by boat manufacturer.
WARNING
ULTRAFLEX hydraulic steering systems must not be installed on race boats.
DANGER
It is forbidden to disassemble the components which are supplied preassembled to avoid compromising the
product integrity.
WARNING
The boat must be used EXCLUSIVELY by users knowing its features and controls. All the people on the boat must
wear the personal protective equipment approved by the Maritime Authorities.
DANGER
The boat must NEVER be driven by people under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
WARNING
After using the boat, its components must be rinsed with clean and low pressure fresh water.
It is not allowed to use any water-jet pipe or pressure washing equipment. Do not use detergents containing
acetone, ammonia, acids or other corrosive substances.
In particular, it is necessary to prevent the components from coming into contact with some specific detergents
used for cleaning fiberglass hulls since they could corrode the stainless steel components.
