Hydraulic Pump - Installation Guide
Connections to other equipment
If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment
using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST
always be attached to the cable near to the Raymarine unit.
2. Pump mounting
Mount the hydraulic pump:
•
on a substantial member to avoid vibration that could damage the
hydraulic pipes
•
on a suitable horizontal surface, clear of spray and possible water
immersion
•
level or above the hydraulic steering ram to prevent air collecting
in the ram
•
as close to the ram as possible
Note: Secure the pump using M6 (
1
/
4
inch) bolts, lock nuts and lock
washers.
3. Hydraulic connections
CAUTION:
Before you connect the autopilot pump to your hydraulic system
we strongly recommend that you consult the steering gear
manufacturer.
General guidelines
CAUTION:
Absolute cleanliness is essential when working with hydraulic
systems. Even the smallest particle of dirt could prevent the
steering system check valves from working properly.
•
All pipes used to fit the pump should match, or exceed, the
specification of the existing steering system pipes. Contact the
steering system manufacturer if you need more information.
•
Use flexible pipe to connect the pump to the boat’s steering
system - this avoids strain on the pipes.
•
All ports on the autopilot pump are
1
/
4
in BSP parallel threaded. If
you need to convert to
1
/
4
in NPT, use the three BSP to NPT
adaptors (supplied).
