FAQs

What should the operator do before using the PS600 hydraulic steering system?

The operator must read the document to become familiar with the product, components, operation, and safety features before use.

How does the system behave if it shuts down unexpectedly?

The system shuts down immediately after major component failure related to safe operation, and the user is instructed to reduce engine power to idle and go to the helm position with hydraulic backup.

What is the purpose of the cylinder bypass procedure?

To centralize the rudders, the procedure unlocks and opens valves NV3 and NV4, then returns them to the original closed position and tightens the valve locknut.
