Operation - ZF SD-10 Description And Owners Manual

1. General
All SD 10 transmissions have been submitted to a test run before shipment. During normal
operation, the transmission should only be shifted with the engine at idle speed. In
emergency cases it is also admissible to shift at higher speeds. Visual checks for leakage
should be made from time to time.
WARNING. Work on the transmission must only be performed with the engine and
propeller at standstill.
CAUTION. Before the first startup, the transmission must be filled with transmission fluid.
Start the engine only when the transmission is in neutral position.
CAUTION. Using the transmission with an insufficient oil level will damage the gears. An
excessive oil level may cause leakage at the shaft seals and the transmission breather,
and raise the operating temperature considerably.
