Teflon tape on any hydraulic fitting, but for a leak free hydraulic system, we do advise you to use an appropriate thread sealant such as Loctite “Pro Lock” multipurpose anaerobic gel, part number 51604 or equivalent on all pipe threads in the hydraulic system. The Pump connects to #5 at the ECU and the orange and black wires connect to orange and black wire connection at the ECU. Please See page 18
Mounting Template: Use the mounting template you received with your unit. It will allow you to
Note: This piston pump may cause the hydraulic lines to vibrate as fluid flows through them. This may cause noise when the autopilot is running. Tying down the hydraulic lines to a solid surface will help eliminate this problem.
To reduce pump noise while the autopilot is running, use of a vibration isolation mounting pad is suggested.
