STEP 1 — Remove air from compensating line
Install the fill tube fitting into the helm's fill port and attach a bottle of
steering fluid.
NOTE
Filling the helm reservoir with a funnel before you connect the fill tube
will reduce the time it takes to purge.
On the P/A, open the manual bleed valve two full turns (see figure 4-2)
and the reservoir bleed fitting one to two turns.
Connect the purge tube to the bleed fitting and direct it into a clean
container.
Pierce the top of the fluid bottle with the push pin several times to
allow air into the container, then wait until the helm is filled and the
fluid level no longer drops.
Turn the steering wheel clockwise (to starboard) until a steady stream
of fluid comes out of the reservoir bleed fitting. Continue turning until
no air bubbles are seen.
Close the reservoir bleed fitting.
Continue turning the wheel clockwise another fifteen turns, then close
the manual bleed valve.
