Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated Operation General The control valve obtains primary, neutral and secondary positions. When these positions are selected, the control valve directs high-pressure oil through internal passages to operate the clutches. The pressure-rate control piston within the control valve assembly provides a rapid, smooth, oil pressure increase in the hydraulic system during clutch engagement.
Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated Hydraulic System with Manual Control Valve The oil pump draws oil through the strainer from the oil sump and discharges it through the oil filter. Filtered oil enters the control valve through the inlet port. The incoming oil forces the pressure regulator piston against the springs to open the path to the lubrication circuit.
Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated Manual Control Valve — Neutral Refer to Figures 7 and 8. Oil enters the control valve body through passage A and fills chamber B. The oil causes the pressure regulating piston to partially compress the piston outer and inner springs against the pressure-rate control piston.
Page 38
Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated Manual Control Valve — Primary When a shift to the primary position is desired, the control valve lever is moved. The shift causes the control valve stem to rotate and assume the position indicated in Figures 9 and 10.

Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated Hydraulic System with Optional Electric Control Valve The oil pump draws oil through the strainer from the oil sump and discharges it through the oil filter. Filtered oil enters the control valve through the inlet port.
Page 43
Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated The pressure in the rate-of-rise chamber is controlled by a ball that is spring loaded against the orifice plate. The passage behind the ball and spring is connected to the sump (atmosphere) in Neutral and to main pressure when either clutch is engaged.
Page 44
Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated Control Valve Assembly in Neutral Some of the main pressure oil from the oil inlet chamber flows through a passage to the orifice in the orifice plate. The small flow of oil through this orifice fills and begins to pressurize the rate-of-rise chamber.
Page 45
Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated Control Valve Assembly in Primary or Secondary Pressurized oil is directed to one of the transmission’s clutches to engage it. The pressurized oil in the clutch port of the engaged clutch acts on the shuttle ball, sealing off the passage to the opposite clutch. The pressurized oil also forces the ball of the ball and spring regulator against its seat on the orifice plate, stopping the flow of oil from the rate-of-rise chamber to sump.
Page 46
Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated Electric Operation The transmission normally operates with the control valve in the electric mode. Two spools, each controlled by a solenoid operated pilot valve, control clutch engagement. When a solenoid is energized, it opens the pilot valve and allows main pressure oil to flow to the end of the spool.
Page 47
Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated Main pressure oil flows from the spools above to the clutch passages of the transmission below via connecting slots in the manual override stem. These connecting slots are aligned with passages in the valve body when the valve is in the electric mode.
Page 48
Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated Hydraulic Lock Feature (some models) Some control valve models have a hydraulic lock feature, and are identifiable by a third solenoid operated pilot valve. This feature keeps the engaged clutch pressurized as long as the engine remains running, should electrical power fail or malfunction occur while the clutch is engaged.
Page 49
Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated The hydraulic lock is disabled when either the engine is stopped, or the neutral solenoid is energized. When the neutral solenoid is energized, it sends pressurized oil to the dowel pins at the return spring end of each spool.
Page 50
Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated Manual Override Operation The control valve has a manual override feature, which is a lever operated selector. When the manual override lever is rotated counterclockwise and pulled outwards, the upper portion of the valve is disabled because the connecting slots in the manual override stem are no longer aligned with the oil passages in the valve body.

Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated Trolling Valve (Optional) The trolling valve is used to reduce and control propeller speed below that normally attained by operating the engine at low idle. Actuating the trolling function reduces clutch apply pressure to reduce the propeller speed.
Page 53
Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated Mechanical Trolling Valve This trolling valve is a variable orifice that controls the pressure in the rate-of- rise chamber. The pressure in the rate-of-rise chamber determines the rate- of-rise piston position, which ultimately controls the main and clutch pressures for the transmission.
Page 54
Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated 1017554 Electric Trolling Valve This trolling valve is a variable orifice that controls the pressure in the rate-of- rise chamber. The pressure in the rate-of-rise chamber determines the rate-of- rise piston position, which ultimately controls the main and clutch pressures for the transmission.
Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated Power Take-off (Optional) There is a separate manual (part number 1020075) which describes the operation, installation, troubleshooting, and service of the optional Power Take- off (PTO) for this marine transmission. Live Power Take-off The live PTO drives accessories using engine horsepower. Since the live PTO connects the accessory to the primary shaft of the transmission via a direct coupling, the accessory is driven when the engine is running.
Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated Trailing Pump (Optional) The trailing pump is used to supply oil flow to the transmission lubrication circuit when the transmission is in a backdriving condition. Backdriving (sometimes referred to “windmilling”) occurs when the engine is shut down and the transmission output shaft is being driven by water flow across the propeller.
Operation Twin Disc, Incorporated Power Flow Input power to the transmission is through a torsional coupling mounted on the engine flywheel. The coupling is splined to the forward end of the primary (forward clutch) shaft causing the primary shaft to rotate in engine direction during engine operation.

Installation Twin Disc, Incorporated Installation Alignment Proper alignment of an engine and marine unit is critical, both during the initial installation and at frequent intervals during the life of the boat. It is rather common for a boat to change its form with various loads and with age. Engine and shaft alignment can also change on a boat due to varying loads and the boat’s age.
Page 173
Installation Twin Disc, Incorporated Set the indicator gauge at zero (0). Lift the marine gear with a hoist, or other suitable means, and place the unit in position against the engine flywheel housing. Secure the flange of the marine gear main housing to the engine flywheel housing.
Page 174
Installation Twin Disc, Incorporated Engine and Marine Transmission Alignment When mounting the engine and transmission in the boat, all of the mounting pads on both the engine and transmission must be used. Failure to do so may result in damage to the transmission or the engine flywheel housing.
Page 175
Installation Twin Disc, Incorporated When a heavy boat is dry-docked, it naturally undergoes some bending. Therefore, it is always good practice to unbolt the marine transmission coupling to prevent bending of the shaft. With the engine and transmission in position on the engine bed, arrangements must be made to have a controlled lifting or lowering of each of the four corners of the engine.
Page 176
Installation Twin Disc, Incorporated As the engine and marine transmission come into their aligned position, it will be possible to mate the output flange and propeller coupling, and prepare for bolting together. Care should be taken not to burr or mar this connection because the fit is very critical.
Page 177
Installation Twin Disc, Incorporated Figure 145. Checking Output Flange Pilot Eccentricity Some boats are not structurally rigid and some carry their load in such a way that they will “hog” or go out of normal shape with every loading and unloading.

Always use the alignment procedures recommended by the coupling manufacturer. Torsional Input Couplings Installation - For Models Provided by Twin Disc Be sure the internal retaining ring is properly installed inside the torsional input coupling hub. See Engineering Drawings section of this manual for correct ring location.
CENTAFLEX ® -R Assembly instructions on flange mounted gears CAUTION- Before you start the coupling assembly Check there is axial play in each direction of the engine crankshaft to ensure the engine thrust bearings are not loaded. Record the result. Assembly Method Mount the gear half of the coupling to the gearbox input shaft as the design dictates.
Page 180
Remove the coupling flange (outer part) and bolt it to the engine flywheel. Torque tighten using the engine manufacturers recommendation, but in the absence of it, the table below gives gene- ral guidelines. Coupling Flange to Engine Flywheel Bolts. These bolts are not supplied with the CENTAFLEX - R Coupling, but where no instructions are available from the engine supplier, the following can be used as a guide.
