INSTALLATION
1.
DELIVERY CONDITION
For safety reasons, the gearbox is NOT filled with oil for shipment.
The actuating lever is mounted on the actuating shaft.
Before leaving the factory,
each transmission is subjected to a test
run with the prescribed ATF
oil~
The residual oil remaining in the
transmission
after
draining
acts
as
a
preservative
and
provides
reliable protection against corrosion for at least 1 year if the units
are properly stored.
2.
PAINTING THE GEARBOX
ALWAYS
COVER THE
RUNNING SURFACES
AND
SEALING LIPS
OF
THE
RADIAL
SEALING RINGS ON BOTH SHAFTS BEFORE PAINTING.
Make certain that the
breather
hole on the oil f iller
screw is not closed by the paint.
Indicating plates should remain clearly legible.
3.
CONNECTION OF GEARBOX WITH ENGINE
A torsio-elastic damping plate between the engine and the transmission
is to compensate for minor alignment errors and to protect the input
shaft from external forces and loads.
Radial play should be at least
0.5
mm.
4.
SUSPENSION OF ENGINE-GEARBOX ASSEMBLY IN THE BOAT
To protect the gearbox from detrimental stresses and loads, provision
should be made for elastic suspension of the engine-gearbox assembly
in the boat or craft.
The oil drain plug of the gearbox should be conveniently accessible.
5.
POSITION OF GEARBOX IN THE BOAT
The inclination of the gearbox
unit
in
the
direction
of
the
shafts
should
not
permanently
exceed an angle of 20 degrees
(15
degrees
for
the
V-drive
model) •
(See illustration.)
The gearbox can also be mounted
with
the
output
shaft
in
the
UPWARD
position.
Interchange
the
oil
dipstick
and
the
oil
drain plug in this case.
