II. INTRODUCTION
Tl
ansmissions have been designed for srilooth
operation and dependability in marine Lise. The
transmission is self- contained, having an oil
pressure system and oil supply completely
separated from engine lubricating oil systems.
Transqlission oil under pressure is used to
engage a forward or reverse drive. The for-
III. INSTALLATION
A. The installation instructions below are for
use when the original transmission has been
removed for servicing and must be re-
installed, or when the transmission unit
is to be adapted as non-original eqUip-
ment to a marine engine.
B.
It
is important that the engine and
t
rans-
mission rotatio:1s are matched. The di rec-
tion of rotation of an engine is defined in
this manual as the direction of T0tation
of the engine crankshaft as viewed from the
output end of the transmission.
A
clock-
wise rotation of the engine is a right hand
rotation and a countercluckwisE: rotation of
the engine is a left hand rotation.
A
letter "R" or "1." appearing on the
transmission serial
num},i::r plate illus-
trated in Section I, "SPECIFIC\TIO;\S",
indicates whether the transmissiun is for
use with a
right or left hane! rotating
engine.
C. The hydraulic transmission is attached to
the engine in the following manner:
1. Insert two 3-1/2" studs in CJl!posite
transmission mounting holes
ill
ttlt~
engine adapter plate.
2. Place the transmission against the Cituds
so that the studs gu through two
"f
the
matching holes in thE: trans!nis:.'ion
housing flange.
3. Slide the transmission along the studs
toward the engine so that the spline on
the shaft at the front of the transmission
enters the matching splined hole in the
engine vibration dampener.
ward drive is through a multiple disc
clU1.d\
a rrangement, while thE: reverse drive uti 1 izes
a reverse clamp band and planetary g>::iI'
train. The transmission oil
is
circulated
:H.d
cooled through a sep" rate external oi
I
c<)ok r
core, which is in turn cooled by
the png:nc
water. Paragon transmissions are
fcHllishl,d
with either dirp.ct drive or reductiol}

4. Install and tighten four bolts with lock-
washers
thr(.ugh
the
transm:ssiO[1
housing flange into the enginE"'
ad~pter
plate. Remove the 3-1/2" studs. Inshll
and tighten the two remaini-ng bolls
\vith
lockv.'ashers through the lram;-
mission hOUSing flange.
D. The transmission and propeller shalt
(.;')U-
pIing must be carefully aligned before
the
propeller shaft is connected to the
1
nns-
miSSion,
in
urder to avoid vibratiun ,[nd
consequent damage to the transllli":si'J11,
engine,
and

To align the coupling, move the
