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.

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.
