CYLINDER INSTALLATION
Proper cylinder installation is the key to the successful operation of the
hydraulic steering system. An incorrectly installed cylinder is subject to rapid
seal and bearing wear and non-repairable damage.
An imaginary line drawn through the tiller arm hole at both hard over
positions will create the cylinder centre line. With tiller arm at hard over
positions, angle X and Y should be the same. Select the diagram and dimensional
data that corresponds with your cylinder model.
Notice
Not all possible cylinder mounting
configurations are shown, however, all necessary dimensions are shown regardless
of mounting configurations.

CAPILANO HELM PUMPS
1250V, 1275V & 1350
A unique variable displacement feature on the 1250V and 1275V helms allows
the helms-person to adjust the amount of steering wheel turns to their
preference within a predetermined range. The 1350 helm is a fixed displacement
pump.

TUBING, HOSES and FITTING KITS
The use of seamless soft annealed refrigeration copper tubing, type L is
recommended. If flexible hose is required, use hose that has a minimum operating
pressure of 1000PSI, a burst pressure of 5000PSI and the lowest available
expansion factor. The 1250V requires the use of 1/2″ OD copper tube while the
1275V requires the use of 5/8″ OD copper tube. The 1350 Helm Pump requires the
use of 3/4″ OD copper tube.
Cylinder Hoses
Steering systems installed with copper
tubing require short pieces of flexible hose to accommodate slight cylinder
movement. Hoses are supplied with 1/2″ swivel flare nuts on each end. Hoses are
sold as a pair for single cylinder applications and separately for the variables
of twin cylinder installations.
