Hose Installation; Type Of Installation - Ultraflex UC 68-OBS Installation And Maintenance Manual

3.4 Hose installation

The two fittings mounted on the cylinder body are already oriented and are ready to be used.
DANGER
The fittings mounted on the cylinder CANNOT be orientated.
If they are unscrewed, they will be damaged and so the cylinder cannot
be used.
Screw the hoses on the cylinder fittings with a torque of 20[Nm] (15[lb· ft])
according to the following instructions:
- minimum hose bend radius 75 mm;
- no interference during engine tilting;
- no interference with the transom;
WARNING
An excessive hose bend could result in its internal breaking which
will cause a bad operation of the system. In this case it is necessary to
replace the damaged hose.

3.5 Type of installation

NOTICE
According to the standards in force there must be a 7/8"-14 UNF thread only on the right side with a minimun
length of 16mm (0.62") of the tilt tube, check these dimensions before the cylinder installation.
In case of installation of the left side or dual installation, check that even the thread is located on the left side
and that its features correspond to the ones described in the standards.
Do not install the cylinder in this configuration, if there is no thread or in case of non-compliance with the
standards.
WARNING
Before installing the cylinders in applications with inboard-outboard engines (whether they are supplied
with servomechanism or not), check that the features of the 7/8"-14 UNF threaded tubes mounted by the
engine manufacturer correspond to the ones of the tilt tubes for the outboard engines. For this type of
installation follow the warnings and cautions described in this manual for the other types of applications.
The hydraulic cylinders UC 68-OBS, UC 132-OBS and UC 133-IOB for side mount applications can be installed
with different configurations according to the number and the type of engines used with a single or dual
steering system.
NOTICE
With reference to the boat the hose connected with the port side (P) of the pump must be always connected
with the port side (P) of the fitting, while the hose connected with the starboard side (S) of the pump must be
always connected with the starboard side (S) of the fitting.
CAUTION
Connect hoses as shown in the pictures of the following page.
