TO ADD OIL TO AN INTEGRAL ADJUSTER

 Sailtec recommends using a premium hydraulic oil, ISO 32 or lighter.

 Oil, fittings & tube must be clean.

 Fully extend piston rod.

 Disconnect outside oil line from the upper fitting/elbow.

 Fill a 3/8” piece of flexible hose (CLEAR is best) with ISO Grade 32 premium 
oil. Attach the clear

flexible hose to upper elbow (the 3/8” hose should push on to the 7/16” elbow 
threads).

Place the other end of hose in a reservoir of hydraulic oil. This line will act 
as a siphon so it needs to

be primed and free of most air.

 Connect a section of hose to the other (pump) elbow or stainless line and run 
it to a pan or bottle to

collect the overflow oil.

 Slowly retract/push the piston rod into cylinder. [Hint: This works best with 
the integral upside down.]

 When oil stops being drawn from reservoir, the cylinder is filled, if the 
siphon line is free of most air

bubbles. Reconnect the stainless line and pump system.

 If air bubbles are in the system it won’t hold pressure. If that happens, 
pull piston rod in and out a

few times. You may have to allow gravity to work air out.

CARTRIDGE VALVE ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 Line up hex nuts (one under knob, one on stem).

 Install knob on stem.

 Lubricate ‘O’ ring on tip.

 Turn the valve into the valve port: turn in very slowly, wiggle the body a 
little so ‘O’ rings find port,

slide into place.

 Tighten down securely with wrench.

Subject: Stus-List Hydraulic Backstay - Best Fluid?

 

Listers,

 

What is the best fluid to use in my Navtec Hydraulic Backstay? 

 

I see lots of chatter about viscosity and moisture inhibitors, but no real 
definitive answer. 

 

Anyone have a recommendation? 

All the best, 

 

Edd
