STEERING SYSTEM - BLEEDING INSTRUCTIONS
Reference the bleeding instructions provided by the Teleflex™ owner's manual, which is included in
your "Owner's Portfolio". Use them in conjunction with the instructions and diagram below to bleed the
steering system. This should be done annually.
If possible, have your dealer or trained marine technician perform routine maintenance or
repairs on your steering system. Replace faulty parts immediately.
STEP 1
1. Using a filler tube, fill the helm
with oil. When completed, you
should be able to see oil in the
filler tube.
2. Open the steering system valve
located under the inspection
plate in the center of the tran-
som.
STEP 2
1. Open the bleed fitting labeled
#1 and pull the cylinder shaft
all the way out on the fitting #1
side.
2. Holding the shaft to prevent it
from moving back into the cyl-
inder, have someone turn the
wheel clockwise until a steady
stream of oil flows through the
fitting.
3. Close bleed fitting #1.
STEP 3
1. Open the bleed fitting labeled
#2. and pull the cylinder shaft all the way out on the fitting #2 side.
2. Holding the shaft to prevent it from moving back into the cylinder, have someone turn the wheel
counter-clockwise until a steady stream of oil flows through the fitting.
3. Close bleed fitting #2 and repeat Step 3 for bleed fittings #3 and #4.
STEP 4
1. When you complete the bleeding process, turn the wheel hard over in each direction at least twice.
Then manually adjust the cylinders by pulling the shaft all the way out on the same side of each
cylinder and closing the steering system valve.
