5 MAINTENANCE

5.1 Ordinary maintenance

WARNING
Poor installation and maintenance may result in loss of steering and cause property damage and/or personal injury.
Maintenance requirements change according to climate, frequency and the use. Inspections are necessary at
least every year and must be carried out by specialized marine mechanics. Check the cylinder fittings and the
seals and the helm gaskets to prevent leaks. Replace them if necessary. To keep a suitable oil level in the tank,
fill and bleed the system as described in this manual in paragraph 3.6.
Check the hose and the entire system wear, the nut and bolt tightening every six months and make sure that they
are not damaged. Clean the system using water and non-abrasive soap.
WARNING
Use only compatible hydraulic oils, indicated in the paragraph "technical features" and "filling and purging". Do
not use brake oils or automatic transmission fluid (ATF) in any case.
WARNING
After the first 10 hours of use and then periodically check the connection integrity and tightening.
CAUTION
If the locknuts are disassembled, replace them. (Contact our assistance service, see page 6).

5.2 Troubleshooting

Please refer to the chapter "Troubleshooting" in the "INTEGRA Installation Instructions".
WARNING
Whenever the checks need the removal and/or disassembly of the steering system components, such work must
be carried by specialized staff. ULTRAFLEX offers general information only and is not responsible for any conse-
quences resulting from incorrect disassembly.
