DESCRIPTION "PR+RU" reversing type gear pumps are driven by 12 or 24 volt DC permanent magnet motors. Incorporated in the design are pilot operated check valves that prevent the pump being back driven by the manual steering system or rudder load. The motors have an IP67 rating and can be removed from the pump without allowing air into the hydraulic system or fluid to escape.

PUMP SELECTION It is important to select the correct size PR+RU pump as it directly influences the steering performance and power consumption. The type of vessel to be steered must be considered. The hard-over time may need to be faster on lightweight planing craft and modern yachts or slower on displacement power boats or long keel yachts.

LOCATION The PR+RU pump is designed for “Under Deck” installations only. When considering where to mount the pump the following points should be taken into account. Keep hose and cable runs short. Mount away from sources of heat. Install the pump above areas liable to flooding. Use a solid surface to prevent noise transmission and amplification.
HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS The ports marked 'A' and 'B' are the service line connections to the cylinder. The hydraulic hoses and connections must be of a suitable pressure rating. Refer Technical data. Use only bonded rubber/metal washers to seal the fittings. Do not use tapered adapters, sealing compound or P.T.F.E tape.
HYDRAULIC FLUID Caution! Do not use “brake fluid” Use only mineral based good quality hydraulic fluid compatible with nitrile rubber hydraulic seals. The PR+RU pump is designed to operate on a wide range of hydraulic fluids. Check the cylinder manufacturers recommendations for compatibility.
