• The SUS unit is not included and must be ordered separately
• Listed for 28 D series applications

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Unequal travel to port and starboard when the locks are checked

🛠️ Service Notes

• The SUS unit is not supplied with this gear, so order it separately or the installation will not be complete

• Bleed the system fully and check both locks and the whole travel for leaks before the boat is used, since this is a safety related item
