Before starting to install your S1000 Autopilot, please take time to read this guide. In particu-
lar, please take note of the safety and electromagneticcompatibility (EMC) information atthe
end of this guide.
WARNING:
This product must be installed and operated in accordance with the
Raymarine instructions provided. Failure to observe this could
result in personal injury, damage to the boat and/or poor product
performance.
The installation procedures are described in a rational sequence, but because of variations in
boat design, space available etc, you may need to adapt the sequence to suit your particular
circumstances.
Before you start fitting your S1000 Autopilot, we recommend you:
•Unpack your S1000 Autopilot and check that all parts are present.
•Plan your S1000 Autopilot installation so that you fit the components in the best possible

Planning
In order to make the installation as trouble free as possible, we strongly recommend you
spend adequate time planning the best locations for your autopilot components. This is
particularly important when considering the position of the autopilot pump, as hydraulic
hoses are supplied in fixed lengths, so there are some limitations on the positioning of the
autopilot pump with respect to the boat’s helm pump.
If you have internet access, please view the installation video on line at www.raymarine.com.
Before you disturb your hydraulic steering system, we strongly recommend that you consult
the manufacturer and read the steering system manuals.

Using the hydraulic hoses
D7553-2
Three, pre-assembled hydraulic hoses are supplied. Two of these are dark-colored, high
pressure steering hoses and the third is a transparent low-pressure hose.
The transparent hose is intended to help you check for air bubbles when bleeding the
system and must be used only to connect the autopilot pump reservoir to the lower
connector on the helm pump. It must NOT be used anywhere else in the system.

8 S1000 Autopilot Installation Guide
Note: The hydraulic fittings supplied with the autopilot pump have sealant pre-
applied to the tapered threads. You only need to apply sealant to any extra joints
you may obtain. The recommended sealant for doing this, is Loctite 542.
Do not use sealing tape on any part of a hydraulic system, as this can
disintegrate and the resulting particles can cause blockages in the
hydraulic system.
CAUTION:

From hand tight, use a wrench to tighten the joint a
further 1.5 turns. This should make it leakproof.
To change the orientation of the joint to align it with the
hose, further tighten the joint, to a maximum of one
further turn, until the joint is facing the required
direction.
