Dual Steering Station/Dual Cylinder; General Recommendations - Uflex UC 69-I Installation And Maintenance Manual

3.5.4 Dual steering station/dual cylinder

- Manually unscrew the two bleed valves
on the cylinder "T" fittings and push the
cylinders to one side up to the end of
stroke.
- Position the oil bottle near the main
steering station (upper) according to what
is described in paragraph 3.5.1.
WARNING
Wait until the oil reaches the lower tank and
both tanks are filled.
- Follow the same purging procedure
described in paragraph 3.5.1
starting from the lower station
and repeat it for the upper
station.
WARNING
For the additional steering station (lower)
tank use only the non-vent plug. For the main
steering station (upper) tank use only the vent plug.
- Repeat the entire procedure at least 4 times to ensure the absence of air in the system.
3.6 General recommendation
WARNING
It is very important to check the absence of air in the system before using the boat! We recommend trying
to manually move the engine towards port and starboard, making sure that there is no movement of the
cylinder body on the main cylinder shaft.
If the cylinder body moves more than 1/6 inches (15mm), there is still air in the system. The air presence in
the system can cause bad responses to the controls and so it can cause damage, injuries or death.
