5 MAINTENANCE

5.1 Ordinary maintenance

WARNING
Poor installation and maintenance may result in loss of steering and cause property damage and/or perso-
nal injury. Maintenance requirements change according to climate, frequency and the use. Inspections are
necessary at least every year and must be carried out by specialized marine mechanics. Check the cylinder
fittings and the seals and the helm gaskets to prevent leaks. Replace them if necessary. To keep a suitable
oil level in the tank, fill and bleed the system as described in this manual in paragraph 3.6. Check the hose
and the entire system wear, the nut and bolt tightening every six months and make sure that they are not
damaged. Clean the system using water and non-abrasive soap.
WARNING
Use only compatible hydraulic oils, indicated in the paragraph "technical features" and "filling and bleeding ".
Do not use brake oils or automatic transmission fluid (ATF) in any case.
WARNING
After the first 10 hours of use and then periodically check the connection integrity and tightening.
CAUTION
If the self-locking nuts are disassembled, replace them. (Contact our assistance service, see page 6).

5.2 Head replacement

If, after some time, oil leakages due to normal wear or poor maintenance are detected from head gaskets,
replace them.
WARNING
If worn heads are not replaced, the cylinder cannot work properly, thus jeopardizing the safety of the user.
ULTRAFLEX supplies a proper kit containing the components to be used for replacement.
NOTICE
The kit is supplied with the replacement instructions.
