General safety rules and warranty
Safety warnings
YOU MUST STRICTLY RESPECT the precautions and the advisable safety criteria here below. MAVIMARE declines every responsibility
in the case you do not observe them and also for any case of negligence that might be committed during the utilization of the system.
– Keep hands clear of moving parts.
– Do not deactivate and do not make safety devices inoperative in any way.
– Do not change or add devices to the system, without written authorization or previous technical intervention of MAVIMARE which
shall approve of it.
– Do not use the system for any other purpose than for what specied in the installation and maintenance manual.
– Do not allow non-specialised personnel to perform installation.
– Do not disassemble the hydraulic connections without having completed the oil discharge in the system before. The piping can
contain high-pressure oil.
ATTENTION
– Do not step onto the cylinder.
– After installation and bleeding the system, check before you start the navigation. Turn the steering wheel until the cylinder or
cylinders are at the stroke end. Repeat the maneuver rotating the steering wheel in the opposite direction.
– Take the utmost care when applying liquid gluing material (e.g. Loctite). In case of introduction in the hydraulic system, this would
cause damages and disruptions.
– To seal the ttings, do not use (under any circumstances) Teon tape or any type of tape that could be sucked in by the system and
cause irreparable damage to the same.
– During installation of the system take special care to maintain maximum cleaning, to prevent foreign matter from entering the
system. Even the smallest object could result in permanent damage not immediately detectable.
– Avoid bending the tubes too tight.
– Avoid contact with piping edges or sharp corners.
– Keep pipes away from sources of heat.
