Planning
Hydraulic pump
Location and mounting requirements:
• MUST be mounted on a solid structure to avoid vibration that
could damage the hydraulic pipes.
• MUST be mounted on a dry horizontal surface, clear of spray
water and possible immersion.
• Excessive temperature, vibration and fumes in the atmosphere
can drastically reduce motor brush life.
• MUST be mounted level to or above the hydraulic ram, to prevent
air from collecting in the ram.
• MUST be accessible for future servicing.
Reservoir
Location and mounting requirements:
• MUST be mounted vertically, ideally to a bulkhead.
D 11899-1
• MUST be mounted at least 150 mm (6 in) ABOVE the hydraulic
pump and hydraulic ram, to ensure a good supply of fluid to the
system.
• MUST be accessible for hydraulic fluid top-ups and refills.
• Raymarine recommends the use of M8 bolts and suitable nuts
and washers to secure the reservoir to the vessel.
Pipes
The pipes transport fluid and pressure around the Hydraulic Linear
Drive system. The system is supplied pre-plumbed, pre-filled, and
pre-bled, with just the reservoir empty. However you must observe
the following when handling and positioning the pipes:
• Do NOT allow acute bends in the pipes. The minimum bend
radius for the pipes is 7.6 cm (3 in).
• Pipes must NOT touch any part of the vessel.
• Ensure there are no kinks in the pipes.
• Ensure pipes are not cut or chaffed.
