PARAGON
HYDRAliLIC
REVERSE GEAR
The actual
operation
of the
hydraulic
reverse
gear
is
nearly
the
same
as
the manual
reverse
gear
except
that
hydr
ulic
pressure
does
the work
in
shifting
gears
The
hydraulic
section of the
reverse
gear
is
completely
contained within the
reverse
gear
housing
For the forward drive
no
adjustment
is
needed
For the
reverse
drive
there
is
an
ad
justment
on
the outside of the starboard side of the
reverse
gear
housing
If the
gear
slips
in
reverse
drive
remove
the
long
acorn
nut
covering
the
adjustment
screw
Loosen
the
locknut

Then loosen

The
Hydraulic
Reverse Gear has
an
oil
supply separate
from
the
engine
and
must
be
checked
and
replaced individually
Hydraulic
fluid should be
changed
once
each
sea
son
or
every
100
operating
hours
whichever
is
first
The level of
the
hydraulic
fluid sh
uld reach the full
mark
on
the Reverse Gear
dip
stick
When
adding
or
replacing
fluid
always
use

In
areas
where
freezing
is
a
problem preparing
the
engine
becomes
a
major
consil
eration
because of
the
potential damage
from
freezing
This
does
not
infer that
lay
ups
in
more
temperate
climates
are
less
important
and therefore less
exacting
A
thorough
lay
up operation
will
include the
following
steps
1
Drain the

to

W

suggest running
the

atthe end of the
season
therebyreducing
the
required
amount
of Fuel
Conditioner
If
preferred
the
treated fuel
may be fed
from
anauxiliary
tank An outboardmotor
gasoline
tankwould
serve
very
well for this purpose
Run the
engine
for
at
least fifteen minutes
to
dis
perse the Conditioner
throughout
the
engine
The
conditioning properties
lie
in
the residue
resulting
from
the combustion of the Fuel
Conditioner
therefore
it
is
very
important
to
run
the
engine
as
directed
During
this
final
running
close the fuel valves
at
the tanks and
run
the
engines
un
til
they
stall

and clean the sediment

and

them
4
Drain
the
entire
cooling system
and flush with fresh water
This is
es
pecially important
for boats
operated
in
salt
water

drainage
spots
