TRANSMISSIONS
INITIAL
OPERATION
All
HBWIZF
marine
transmissions
are
test-run
on
a test
stand
with
the
engine
at
the
factory
prior
to
delivery.
For
safety
reasons
the
fluid
is
drained before
shipment.
Fill
the
gearbox
with
Automatic
Transmission Fluid
(DEXRON
II or DEXTRON ill). The
fluid
level should
be
up
to
the
index
mark
on
the
dipstick.
To
check
the
fluid
level,
just insert the dipstick,
do
not
screw
it
in.
Screw
the
dipstick
into
the
case
after
the
fluid
level
is
checked
and
tighten.
Do
not
forget
the
sealing ring
um!er
the hexhead of
the
dipstick.
Check
for
leaks
and
change
the
fluid
after
the
first
25
hours,
also
make
a
Visual
inspection of
the
coupling,
oil
cooler
and
hoses,
and
shift cables.

FLUID
CHANGE
Change
the
fluid
for the
.first
time after about
25
hours of
operation,
then
every
250
operating hours
or
at
least once a
year orwhen you change engine oil.
Re~oving
the
fluid
Push a
suction
pump hose down through
the
dipstick hole
to
the
bottom
of
the
housing and suck out the
fluid.
(If
space
allows,
use
the transmission drain). Remove
the
drain
plug
from
the
bottom of
the
transmission and
allow
the
fluid
to
drain
into
a container,
then
reinstall the plug
with
its sealing
washer.
Wipe
down
the
transmission and·properly dispose of
the
used
fluid.
After running
the
engine,
shut
down
and
recheck
the
fluid
level.

Rotation of
the
propeller without
load
(in

such
as
when
the
boat is being sailed,
being
towed,
or
anchored
in
a
river,
as
well
as
operation of the
engine
with
the
prop~lIer
stopped (for charging the battery),
will
have
no
detrimental effects
