(Patents Pending)
Installer: these instructions contain important safety information
and must be forwarded to the boat owner.
These instructions describe how to install the Xtreme
and steering system. Helm part number SHX7606. XTREME
or No Feed Back helms have a clutch mechanism to prevent engine
torque at the steering wheel. This reduces operator fatigue by eliminating
the constant fighting of the wheel. Instructions for installing steering
cables are also included.
In addition to this kit the following components are required for a
complete system:
• Bezel Kit SBX76061 (90°)
• SSCX64xx Cable (where xx is length in feet)
• Engine Connection Kit (refer to Teleflex Marine catalog)
• Steering Wheel (refer to Teleflex Marine catalog; Maximum
wheel diameter 16", Maximum wheel dish 5")
Before starting installation read these instructions and engine
makers instructions thoroughly. Failure to follow either of these
instructions or incorrect assembly can result in loss of control and
cause property damage, injury, or death.
DO NOT substitute parts from other manufacturers, they may cause
a safety hazard for which Teleflex Marine cannot accept responsibility.
To avoid excessive steering loads, and to get the best steering
performance, the outboard motor or outdrive trim tabs and tilt
position must be adjusted as instructed in the motor manufacturers
operation manual. Failure to do so can effect the performance of
the boat and its safe operation which may cause property damage,
injury, or death.
DO NOT attach any electrical ground wires to the helm. This would
result in an electrolytic reaction to the steering system that may
result in system failure or greatly reduced service life.
Helms and cable assemblies are supplied lubricated ready for installation,
do not add any lubricant to either assembly. Use of other lubricants
can cause damage to the steering cable, resulting in the cable seizing
or premature wear. Keep the cable and drive assembly clean during
installation. Dirt will damage the system and cause premature wear.
This notice does not include the engine output ram end of the cable.
Helms must not be disassembled for any reason. Failure to
reassemble correctly may lead to total failure of the system,
which could result in property damage, injury, or death.
