Teleflex Marine XTREME NFB HELM Guide de démarrage rapide

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

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.

MARINE

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

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.

CABLE

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

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.

Instructions and Owner’s Manual with the delivery of boat. Boat

owner keep these instructions with your boat for future reference.
