RE: 0.5 L Hydraulic pump spec discrepancy
OK Chuck. I was just following the purge procedure that was stated in the pump installation manual:
1. With the system in auto mode, press the -10 button ten times: • the autopilot pump will try to drive the rudder to port. • counter this rudder movement by turning the helm to starboard to keep the rudder stationary. • you will be able to feel any air in the helm pump: any air in this side of the pump will rise to the helm pump and exhaust into the reservoir. • continue until all of the air is out of this side of the pump. 2. Clear any air on the other side of the pump: • press the +10 button ten times. • the autopilot will try to drive the rudder to starboard. • counter the rudder movement by turning the helm to port. • continue until all of the air is out of this side of the pump. • Repeat in both directions until both sides of the help pump are totally free of air. While following this guide, I encountered the issue I described, where the drive still turned to port even though I told it to turn to starboard. I was operating under the assumption that this process likely needed to be completed prior to running the dockside wizard. When I first fired up the P70R controller unit, it asked me the basic initial questions: Language and vessel type, but that was it, then the unit went to the main screen showing the heading. Should I run the dockside wizard prior to trying to follow the pump purge instructions again? |
