All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Hydraulic Pump - Installation Guide Two line pressurized systems Two line pressurized systems have an external pressurized reservoir. This reduces the possibility of introducing air into the system and reduces any steering ‘sponginess’ caused by pipe expansion. Connect the autopilot pump to the steering system as shown in Figure 6.
