To check the fluid level, just insert the dipstick; DO NOT SCREW IN.
Retighten the hex screw with the dipstick after the fluid level check.
Do not omit the o-ring seal.
2.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE
The
maximum
permissible
temperature
of
the
transmission
fluid
is
130·C.
If this temperature is to be exceeded, an optional oil cooler
is available.
3.
OPERATION OF GEARBOX
The zero position of the operating lever on the control console must
coincide
with
the
zero
position
of
the
~ctuating
lever
on
the
transmission.
Shifting is initiated by a cable or rod linkage via the
actuating
lever
and
an actuating cam.
The completion of the gear
changing operation is servo-automatically controlled.
Gear changing should be smooth, not too slow, and continuous (without
interruption).
Direct
changes
from
forward
to
reverse
are
per-
missible, since the multiple-disc clutch permits gear changing at high
RPM, including sudden reversing at top speeds in the event of danger.
4.
OPERATION WITHOUT LOAD
Rotation of the propeller without load (freewheeling), e.g. while the
boat
is
sailing,
being
towed,
or
anchored
in a
river,
as
well
as
idling of the engine with the propeller stopped, will have no detri-
mental effects on the gearbox.
Locking of the propeller shaft by an additional brake is not required,
since locking is possible by engaging the reverse gear.
DO NOT sail
while engaged in forward.
5.
LAY-UP PERIODS
If the transmission is not used for periods of more than 1 year, it
should be COMPLETELY filled with fluid of the same grade to prevent
corrosion.
Protect the input shaft and the output flange by means of
an anticorrosive coating if required.
6.
PREPARATION FOR RE-USE
Drain the
transmission of all fluid and refill to the proper level
with the prescribed fluid.
MAINTENANCE
1.
TRANSMISSION FLUID
To ensure
trouble-free operation of the clutch,
use only automatic
transmission fluid (ATF).
Under no circumstances should the fluid contain any additives such as
molybdenum sulphite.
