4 SAFETY WARNINGS
This section shows the safety rules which must be followed for the correct equipment operation.
We recommend reading carefully this section and also the other manuals supplied with the steering system
components.

4.1 Safety warnings during use and installation

RESPECT STRICTLY the following safety rules:
ULTRAFLEX declines all responsibility in case the user does not follow these rules and it is not responsible for
negligence during the use of the system.
DANGER
- DO NOT PUT HANDS BETWEEN THE MOVING PARTS.
- Do not disable the safety devices.
Do not modify or add devices to the system, without ULTRAFLEX written authorization or technical
-
intervention which will prove the modification.
- Do not use the equipment for a purpose different from the one it has been designed for, which is
specified in the installation and maintenance manual.
- Do not let non-specialized staff perform the installation.
- Do not disassemble the hydraulic connections before bleeding the oil in the system completely.
The hoses can contain high pressure oil.
ATTENZIONE
WARNING
- Do not put the feet on the cylinder.
- Check the system after the installation and the purging but before operating the vessel. Turn the
steering wheel until the cylinder/s reaches/reach the end stroke.
Turn the steering wheel to the opposite direction. Repeat on each installed helm to verify the
correct installation and the system operation.
- Carefully use sealing fluid (such as Loctite). If it reaches the hydraulic system, it may cause
damage and mechanical failure.
- Do not use teflon tape or adhesive tape to seal the fittings, as this material may be ingested, by
causing the system fail.
- During the system installation, prevent foreign matters from entering the system.
Even a little object may cause lasting damage that are not detected immediately.
- Avoid too narrow bend radius of hoses.
- Avoid the hose contact with edges or sharp corners.
- Avoid the hose contact with heat sources.
