NOTE! There are two different types of hydraulic pumps. Make sure to install the hoses correctly.
Picture 3 reflects how to attach the hoses to the respective type of pump - high pressure hose (4)
and low pressure hose (5).
8. Raise and lower the cylinders and check that hoses and pipes are installed properly. Press the hoses
against the starboard cylinder, indicated by the arrow (E) in picture 2, and tighten simultaneously the hose
and pipe connections. Also tighten the connections of the port cylinder.
9. Remove the protective plug (C) from the transom shield and install the nipple (13). See picture 4. Attach
the ground wire (9) to the nipple using the screw (11). Attach the ground wire to the hydraulic pipes using the
clamp (10) and the screw and nut (11) and (12).
10. Check to make sure that the cylinders are properly grounded against the transom shield. Use a
measuring instrument with a buzzer. Measure between the zinc anode (D) and all connections and plugs on
the cylinders. The measuring points (8 pcs) are marked with arrows in picture no 5.
Locate one of the instrument poles on the zinc anode and the other one to one measuring point after the
other. Use the measuring point to scrape the zinc anode in order to obtain maximum contact. A constant
buzzer tone should be heard at each measuring. If the buzzer tone is interrupted, the two contact points of
the ground wire along with the nipples/plugs must be tightened further. Then repeat the measuring procedure.
11. Install the sterndrive in the transom shield. See the Workshop Manual for the respective drive model.
12. Check the oil level in the hydraulic pump. See the arrow in picture no 3. Top up when necessary.
13. Vent the hydraulic system by trimming the sterndrive (out and in etc) 6 to 10 times. Use an assistant to
check that the movement of the sterndrive is unhampered.
Then check the oil level again and top up if necessary.
