HURTH TRANSMISSIONS
Rotation
The Hurth transmissions are full power reversing transmissions, allowing a standard (LH
rotation) engine to be used for both rotations. Propeller rotation is determined by shift cable
attachment at the remote control.
Avoid severe transmission damage. All Hurth Transmissions require Standard
Left-Hand rotation engines. NEVER connect a Hurth Transmission to a Right-Hand
rotation engine.
IMPORTANT: Transmission propeller rotation is determined by the shift cable instal-
lation in the remote control.
•
RIGHT-HAND PROPELLER ROTATION - Control cable will have to be installed in re-
mote control so that cable end will move in direction "A" when shift handle is placed in the
forward position.
•
LEFT-HAND PROPELLER ROTATION - Control cable will have to be installed in
remote control so that cable end will move in direction "B" when shift handle is placed in
the forward position.
