1.3 Safety considerations for installers

CAUTION!
We recommend that installation of the SeaStar Power Assist is performed
by a certified marine technician.
Before installation
• Read and understand this manual, and any other manuals supplied with
this system.
• Ensure you have all the required components on hand before you start.
• Do not use a wheel-mounted trim switch with coiled cord. The cord can
wrap around the steering wheel shaft and inhibit steering.
During installation
• Install components as instructed in this manual. Some component parts
and kits may contain additional installation instructions – refer also to
those instructions.
• Do not substitute any component of the system without written authorization
from Dometic. Dometic parts are rigorously engineered and tested to
ensure system integrity. Substitution of components may compromise
safety, performance, and reliability.
• The steering cylinder must be compatible with, and rated for, the
engine(s) installed on the boat.
• If an instruction is unclear, contradictory, or you are otherwise unsure how
to proceed, do not guess. Contact Dometic Marine technical support.
After installation
• Perform the system inspection checks described in section 4.3.
• Correct any interference issues before handing the boat to the owner.
WARNING!
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in loss of steering
control, which could lead to a collision and/or ejection from the boat,
causing property damage, personal injury, and/or death.
