Installation Of Pump Unit
Return or Compensating line: See Fig. 2. or Fig. 3. You will need to add the section of hose from the Return or compensating hose line on the back of your helm to the Return connection on the hydraulic pump motor.

The manifold allows for different hose configurations to allow more room to access the fittings. You may use either the upper fittings or the front fittings, or a combination of both. For example, (Fig 4) you can use the upper pressure lines and the front Return/ compensating line fitting. Don’t use any more than 3 hose and fitting combinations. Be sure to insert, tighten and use appropriate thread sealant on the plugs into the manifold threaded ports that are not being used.

Note:
On the black manifold (where the hoses connect) on the front of the pump is also a shut off valve. By screwing the three (3) brass screws (See Fig 5) to their fully tightened position, the pump is fluid isolated from the rest of the hydraulic steering system. The normal operating position of these screws is at the backed out stop. Do not force past
Four (4) socket headed cap screws hold the manifold to the pump face. These can be removed, after the shut off screws are tightened, so the pump/motor can be removed from the boat for service. The rest of the hydraulic steering system remains operable when this is done.
