Teleflex Marine XTREME NFB HELM Guida rapida
Xtreme™ NFB™ Helm
Part #SHX7606
Installer: these instructions contain important safety information
and must be forwarded to the boat owner.
NOTICE
Helms and cable assemblies are supplied lubricated ready for installation
,
do not add any lubricant to either assembly. Use of other lubricants
can cause damage to the steering cable, resulting in the cable seizing
or premature wear. Keep the cable and drive assembly clean during
installation. Dirt will damage the system and cause premature wear.
This notice does not include the engine output ram end of the cable.
NOTICE
These instructions describe how to install the Xtreme™ NFB™ HELM
and steering system. Helm part number SHX7606. XTREME™ NFB™
or No Feed Back helms have a clutch mechanism to prevent engine
torque at the steering wheel. This reduces operator fatigue by eliminating
the constant fighting of the wheel. Instructions for installing steering
cables are also included.
In addition to this kit the following components are required for a
complete system:
• Bezel Kit SBX76061 (90°)
• SSCX64xx Cable (where xx is length in feet)
• Engine Connection Kit (refer to Teleflex Marine catalog)
• Steering Wheel (refer to Teleflex Marine catalog; Maximum
wheel diameter 16", Maximum wheel dish 5”)
Helms must not be disassembled for any reason. Failure to
reassemble correctly may lead to total failure of the system,
which could result in property damage, injury, or death.
WARNING
Before starting installation read these instructions and engine
makers instructions thoroughly. Failure to follow either of these
instructions or incorrect assembly can result in loss of control and
cause property damage, injury, or death.
DO NOT substitute parts from other manufacturers, they may cause
a safety hazard for which Teleflex Marine cannot accept responsibility.
To avoid excessive steering loads, and to get the best steering
performance, the outboard motor or outdrive trim tabs and tilt
position must be adjusted as instructed in the motor manufacturers
operation manual. Failure to do so can effect the performance of
the boat and its safe operation which may cause property damage,
injury, or death.
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
DO NOT attach any electrical ground wires to the helm. This would
result in an electrolytic reaction to the steering system that may
result in system failure or greatly reduced service life.

If possible the steering cable should be routed to the starboard side
of the boat in order to balance engine torque.
When routing the cable select a path with the minimum number of
bends, making the bends as large as possible. DO NOT MAKE
BENDS LESS THAN 8" RADIUS. Sharp or frequent bends will result
in
hard steering and premature cable wear. When necessary to pass
through a bulkhead, a 1-1/2" diameter hole is required. The cable
should be loosely clamped or tied for support at regular intervals.
Steering Cable Routing
Preparation for Installation
Helm Installation
Before the steering cable can be installed, the helm, bezel, and
steering wheel must be fully installed as shown in the bezel kit
instructions.
Refer to Bezel Kit (SBX76061) instructions.
STEP 1. Remove the pin from the cable entry spigot of the helm.
DO NOT REMOVE THE TAG FROM THE PIN. The back of the helm is
marked for typical installation.
STEP 2. Remove the protective sleeve from the cable end, making
sure that no dirt gets on the lubricated cable end. Feed the cable
into the Upper helm spigot until it contacts the internal gears.
Then turn steering wheel Counter Clockwise to draw the cable fully
into the helm. Continue turning the wheel after the cable end enters
the helm spigot, you will feel some pressure then hear a click. Keep
turning past that point until you can not turn any further.
That click you heard was the locking mechanism engaging with the
cable end.
Turn the steering wheel fully in the opposite direction until you can
not turn any further, and check that the cable end fitting is retained
inside the entry spigot.
STEP 3. Replace the pin as shown in Figure 3, making sure that it
is fully seated. DO NOT REMOVE TAG FROM PIN. This tag must be
left in place for vessel safety during future steering maintenance.
STEP 4. Turn the steering wheel fully to both extremes of rotation
and check that the cable fitting is retained in the entry spigot.
STEP 5. Feed spent travel tube (item 2, Figure 2) over the exposed
cable end until you hear it click into place in the helm spigot. Then
insert pin as shown in Figure 2 until it is fully seated.
Figure 1.
Before the steering cable is installed the steering wheel should be
positioned as shown in figure 1, so that it is in the correct
orientation when the installation is completed.

STEP 6. Rotate the steering wheel several times from stop to stop,
and watch the movement of the steering cable output ram. On
starboard mounted helms turning the wheel clockwise should cause
the ram to extend. On port mounted helms turning the wheel
clockwise should cause the ram to retract.

For engine-mounted steering systems, slide the output ram through
the engine support tube. Thread the cable coupler nut fully onto the
support tube.
For a boat-mounted steering system, attach the cable to the boat
and engine in accordance with the instructions furnished with the
connection kit.
The output ram end of the steering cable should be lubricated
with a good Waterproof Marine Grease before being inserted into
the support tube.
The coupler nut has a locking ring in the threads. Make sure the nut
is drawn up fully and its internal plastic locking ring is engaged. If
you do not tighten this nut fully there will be excessive play in the
steering system. Connect the cable output ram to the engine tiller
arm as shown in the instructions packed with the connection kit.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Ensure that the cable output end is not bent when installing into
the engine. If necessary remove the engine from the boat.

It is possible to over trim the engine and increase the steering torque
to the point that the steering wheel cannot be turned, even though
the torque is not felt at the wheel. This may give the impression that
the steering is “locked”. This condition can occur more when jack
plates are used to raise the engine on the transom, and can only
be overcome by reducing the boat speed or engine trim out position.
Until you are completely familiar with the boat and the effects of
power trim, make all adjustments of trim with extreme caution.
1. After a few hours of operation and at frequent intervals
thereafter, check all fasteners and the complete steering system
for security and integrity.
Operation & Maintenance Notes
Loosening or loss of one or more fasteners may cause failure of
the steering system, resulting in loss of steering control and
could cause property damage, injury, or death.
DANGER
DO NOT cover cracks with tape or other sealants, this will create
a hazard in which the cable can fail suddenly without warning,
resulting in property damage, injury, or death.
DANGER
2. Keep all moving parts free from build-up of salt and other foreign
material. This will affect their operation and create steering
problems. Periodically remove the cable, clean support tube and
telescopic end of cable thoroughly and lubricate with a
waterproof marine grease.
3. Inspect periodically for corrosion. Any parts affected by corrosion
must be replaced. When replacing hardware, self-locking
hardware as originally supplied must be used.
4. Inspect steering cable periodically for cracks or other damage.
If any is found the cable must be replaced.
5. If cable is stiff in operation, it is unsafe to use and must be
replaced immediately.
