Before switching on power to the course computer, make

outboard motor(s), and that the boat is securely moored.
1. Switch on power to the S1000 system.
2. Carry out the
Checking direction of turn procedure (below).

ensure there are still no hydraulic fluid leaks.

With the starboard lines at maximum pressure,
check the starboard lines for leaks, paying
particular attention to the joints.
If a leak occurs, turn the wheel to port to release
the pressure, then repair the leak and repeat
steps 3 & 4.
4.
Turn the wheel to starboard, and when the hard
over point is reached, continue turning to
starboard to pressurize the starboard lines, until
the safety valve releases. At this point, the fluid in
the starboard line will be at maximum pressure
and the wheel has a 'lumpy' feel when turned
further to starboard.
