1.3 Safety considerations for installers
WARNING!
The Optimus EPS system must be installed by an authorized dealer or
OEM boat builder.
Before installation
• Read and understand this manual, and any other manuals supplied with
this system.
• Ensure you have all the required components on hand before you start.
• Do not use a wheel-mounted trim switch with coiled cord. The cord can
wrap around the steering wheel shaft and inhibit steering.
During installation
• Install components as instructed in this manual. Some component parts
and kits may contain additional installation instructions – refer also to
those instructions.
• Do not substitute any component of the system. Dometic and Optimus
parts are rigorously engineered and tested to ensure system integrity.
Substitution of components may compromise safety, performance, and
reliability.
• If an instruction is unclear, contradictory, or you are otherwise unsure how
to proceed, do not guess. Contact Dometic Marine technical support.
After installation
• Perform the system inspection and interference checks described in
Book 50.1 or Book 54.
• Correct any interference issues before handing the boat to the owner.
WARNING!
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in a loss of steering
control, which could lead to a collision and/or ejection from the boat,
causing property damage, personal injury, and/or death.
