2.1 Pre-trip inspection

Perform the following inspection prior to every use:
1. Check the steering fluid level in the helm.
See section 4.3.2.
2. Verify immediate steering response when turning steering
wheel(s).
Turn the steering wheel slowly to port and to starboard through the full
range of motion and make sure the engines or rudders respond
immediately. Watch that the hoses move freely without snags or
hang-ups. Perform this check with and without the P/A turned on.
3. Inspect all steering hoses and fittings for wear, kinks, or leaks.
Check all steering hoses and fittings between the helm, power assist,
and cylinders for any signs of leakage, kinking, wear, or chafing. Check
that the fittings are tight.
4. Check for binding, loose, or worn steering components.
WARNING!
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in loss of steering
control, leading to collision with obstacle(s), ejection from vessel resulting
in property damage and/or personal injury or death.
WARNING!
Do not operate boat if any component is not in proper working condition.

2.2 Maintenance inspection

Perform a thorough system inspection as described in section 4.3:
• Every two months or 20 operating hours, whichever comes first.
• After any service that touches the steering system.
Ensure that any issues are corrected before using the boat.
WARNING!
Do not operate boat if any component is not in proper working condition.
