5. MAINTENANCE
WARNING !
12
Grease the Universal connector kit on installation by applying
a grease gun to the grease nipples and at regular intervals
thereafter (see page 5).
After a few hours of operation and at frequent intervals
thereafter, check all fasteners and the complete steering system
for security and integrity.
Keep all moving parts free from build-up of salt and other
foreign material. Build up of salt will effect their operation and
create steering problems. Pay particular attention to the
Universal connector kit. Periodically remove the cable, clean
the connector tube and thoroughly lubricate with waterproof
grease.
Inspect periodically for corrosion. Any parts affected by
corrosion must be replaced. When replacing hardware, self-
locking hardware must be used.
Inspect steering cable periodically for cracks or other damage.
If any is found the cable must be replaced.
Do NOT cover cracks in the cable with tape or other
sealants; this will only delay a fatal failure of the cable.
Always replace the cable.
