1.0 SAFETY INFORMATION

THE SAFETY INFORMATION PROVIDED HERE IS INTENDED TO

INFORM YOU OF THE DANGERS THAT MAY BE PRESENT BEFORE,

DURING, AND AFTER INSTALLATION. IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU

READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS INFORMATION.

WARNING

Safe operation of the steering system depends upon proper installation

and maintenance of the system, and the common sense, safe judgment,

knowledge, and expertise of the operator. Every installer and operator

of the steering system should know the following requirements before

installing or operating the steering system. If you have any questions

regarding any of these warnings, contact SeaStar Solutions.

1. Read and understand all installation and user's manuals provided

with the steering components.

2. Ensure that all components required to complete the installation

are on hand (including hoses, ﬁttings, oil, and the proper tools).

3. SeaStar and Optimus components are highly engineered and safety

tested to ensure system integrity. DO NOT substitute any component.

Substitution with non-SeaStar or non-Optimus components may

compromise system safety, performance, and reliability.

4. DO NOT use a wheel-mounted, coiled cord trim switch. The cord can

wrap tight around the steering wheel shaft and inhibit steering.

Before installation

1. Check that there is no interference between the steering cylinder(s),

splashwell, outboard engine, or any combination of these parts,

by performing the following steps:

a) With the engine fully tilted DOWN, turn the steering wheel from

hard over to hard over and conﬁrm that no interference occurs.

b) Repeat step 1a with engines tilted UP.

c) Perform step 1a with each engine in alternating DOWN/UP

positions and conﬁrm that independent TRIM/TILT can be

done without any interference.

2. Check that the steering cylinder can be fully stroked in both

directions, as well as full tilt and trim, without stretching, chaﬁng

rubbing, or kinking of the hydraulic hoses and electrical harnesses.

3. Check that only SeaStar Pro steering hose (1500psi rating) has

been used to plumb the system.

After Installation

1. Install system components as directed in this manual. Some

component parts and kits (such as hoses and ﬁtting kits) are

supplied with additional installation instructions—refer also to

these instructions.

2. SeaStar and Optimus components are highly engineered and safety

tested to ensure system integrity. DO NOT substitute any component.

Substitution with non-SeaStar or non-Optimus components may

compromise system safety, performance, and reliability.

3. If an instruction is unclear, contradictory, or you are otherwise

uncertain how to proceed, do not guess. Call SeaStar Solutions

technical support.

During Installation

Perform a system inspection as outlined below. Refer to Section 9.1

in the Optimus EPS Installation Manual (Book 50) for further details.

1. Check steering ﬂuid level in all steering pumps.

2. Verify immediate steering response when turning steering wheel(s).

3. Inspect all steering hoses, ﬁttings, mechanical cables, and

electrical harnesses for wear, kinks, or leaks.

4. Check for binding, loose, worn or leaking steering or shift/throttle

control components.

5. Verify proper shift and throttle response for all control levers.

6. Take control with the joystick and verify that steering, shift and

throttle respond to joystick movement.

7. Verify that no alarms or warnings are shown on the CANtrak display.

Prior to every use

1. WEAR A COAST GUARD-APPROVED PERSONAL FLOTATION

DEVICE (PFD).

2. ATTACH ENGINE SHUT-OFF CORD (LANYARD) TO YOUR PFD.

3. Never allow anyone who is not familiar with the operation of the

steering system to operate the boat at any time.

4. If boat is equipped with multiple helms, ensure that only one is

used at a time.

5. Know and adhere to all applicable federal, state, and municipal laws

and regulations that govern boating in your area.

During use

Rinse off the SmartCylinders thoroughly, using only fresh, clean water.

DO NOT rinse the PCM, pumps, actuators, or any other component of

the Optimus system. DO NOT use acetone, or cleaners containing

ammonia, acids, or any other corrosive ingredients, on any Optimus

component. Use only a damp cloth, or a mild detergent if necessary.

After use

DO NOT OPERATE BOAT IF ANY COMPONENT IS NOT IN PROPER

WORKING CONDITION.

WARNING

DO NOT OPERATE BOAT IF ANY COMPONENT IS NOT IN PROPER

WORKING CONDITION.

WARNING

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY WARNING, NOTICE OR CAUTION

MAY LEAD TO LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL RESULTING IN A

COLLISION AND/OR EJECTION FROM THE BOAT LEADING TO

PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH.
