Hydraulic pump

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Sailingzeus,

Three, pre-assembled hydraulic hoses are supplied. Two of these are dark-colored, high pressure steering hoses and the third is a transparent low-pressure hose. The supplied transparent hose is intended to help the installer check for air bubbles when bleeding the system and must be used only to connect the autopilot pump reservoir to the lower connector on the helm pump. It must NOT be used anywhere else in the system. Should this commonly available tubing have burst, then it is possible that it has instead been connected to one of the pump's pressurized ports and/or steering system T, or that the pump's bleed screw was not tightened upon completion of the bleeding procedure (see Chapter 2 - Bleeding the steering system of the SmartPilotS1000 AutopilotInstallation Guide). Accordingly, it is recommended that the pump's connections to the helm / steering system be verified to ensure that they match those found in Chapter 1. Connecting the autopilot pump of the SmartPilotS1000 AutopilotInstallation Guide.
