Hynautic Steering Help

I have just installed new seals in my Hynautic Steering helm unit and was wondering if anyone can post the bleeding/refilling instructions for a single station boat. My helm unit is a three line h50.
Thanks much!

Dan,
Try Charmens website. That's where I got my information and it worked swell. Look under bleeding instructions etc.

Dave,
Never been the brightest but I can't find it on their site, even searched under bleeding. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Dan

Bleeding the system

1. release pressure on tank.
2. Open fill cap and fill to last bubble.
3. Install cap and pump to 35 psi.
4. On the square valve you will see two round cylinders sticking out with nuts on the end.
Back these nuts off. They will not come off, they are attached to the check valves. Once loose, they will turn by hand.
5. Go to the cylinder at rudders and break on line loose to bleed air. When solid fluid, do other side.
Do not let the reserve run out of fluid or pressure, keep checking.
6. When the reserve gets below the last bubble, drain pressure, refill and pressurize.
7. Go to helm and turn 20 times slowly in one direction again checking fluid level and pressure.
8. Then turn 20 times in the opposite direction.
With the check valves open you will have no solid stops.
9. Check fluid and pressure and repeat last two steps.
10. Close nuts and try system making sure it has no air.
If it does repeat steps 7 and 8.
11. Final fluid should be at middle of last bubble and at 35 psi.
Use steering fluid, not atf.
Hope this helps.
