Power Purge Method
A Teleflex Power Purge system can be used to
bleed the steering system. Make sure the purging
unit has the correct hydraulic fluid. See Hydraulic
Steering Fluid on p. 48. Purge the steering sys-
tem manually if the fluid in the purging unit is a
non-approved or unknown type. See Manual
Method on p. 48.
IMPORTANT:
Turn the key switch to the ON po-
sition for models with DPS.
If installing dual outboards a Teleflex Dual Cylin-
der Purging Kit is also required.
