Quicksilver 555OP — System & Component Overview and Operation
End of Life Signal
Your CO detector may be equipped with an End Of Life (EOL) signal indicating the sensor used in the
unit has reached the end of its service life and must be replaced. The signal is activated from a timer
that will run for 4 years, 11 months from the date of manufacture. Depending on your monitor, the
EOL signal indicator varies, so check the unit's operation manual for further information and
instructions.
The EOL signal can be reset for a period of 72 hours (3 days) for a total of up to 30 days. After this
time, the unit will continuously signal EOL and will no longer detect CO and MUST BE REPLACED! DO
NOT DISCONNECT THE ALARM UNTIL YOU HAVE A REPLACEMENT ALARM AVAILABLE TO INSTALL!
REMOVING THE LITHIUM BATTERY WILL CAUSE THE UNIT TO SIGNAL EOL PERMANENTLY!

5. Steering

Your boat comes equipped with a hydraulic steering system. The basic system for a single engine boat
contains a steering wheel, a hydraulic helm pump, a hydraulic steering cylinder, and hydraulic hoses.
Operation
When turning the steering wheel, the helm pump forces hydraulic fluid through hoses to and from the
steering cylinder which is connected to the tiller arm on the engine. The cylinder moves the tiller arm
to either port or starboard, depending upon the direction the steering wheel is turned.
Filling and Maintenance
A hydraulic steering system rarely needs to be refilled after the system is bled. However, if you ever
need to add fluid to the system, refer to the steering manufacturer's manual for complete
instructions. The fill point is located on the helm itself, in front of the steering wheel.
REFER TO OWNER'S MANUAL PACKAGE FOR INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY INFORMATION.
Fumes for the engine(s), generator, LPG stoves, and other
equipment that burns fuel contain Carbon Monoxide.
Carbon Monoxide can kill you. Open all doors, hatches,
curtains, and windows to allow fresh air to circulate.
Never ignore an alarm.
To reduce the risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, test the
monitor operation when not in use for 10 days or more.
