Alignment
Misalignment between the transmission's coupling and the propeller shaft's coupling can create serious
problems. Make sure the alignment procedures outlined in the
"Propeller Shaft Coupling", the "propeller"
and the "Alignment of the Engine" in the Westerbeke installation manual are adhered to.
Controls
The
only
controls requirj!d
to
operate the
t/ansmission
is a single lever remote con-
trol cable.
The
cable should be attached
.
to
the
gear
box
lever using the cable
bracket supplied with
the
unit
Both the
gear
box
lever and
the
remote control
lever
must
be
in
the
NEUTRAL position
when
the
cable is attached
to
the
gear
box
lever. This allows
the
remote cable
an
equal throw distance
to
shift
the gear
box
into FORWARD
or
into
REVERSE
from
the
NEUTRAL position without run-
ning
out
of cable. Allow approximately 1
1/2
inches
of
cable
throw
from
the
NEUTRAL
position on
the
transmission's
gear
box
levertothe
each of the
two
drive
positions.
NOTE:
If
the throw distance (or
travel)
of
the
remote cable is
too
.short,
the
gear
box
lever cannot
fully engage
the
transmission into
FORWARD
or
REVERSE.
In this
situation,
the
transmission's inter-
nal
clutches will wear prematurely
and
the
transmission may over
heat
and eventually
faU.
NOTE: Excessive throw distance in
the
remote
control
lever is not
detrimental
to
the transmission.
Note that
the position
of
the remote
control lever should align with the
NEUTRAL marking on
its bracket
when the transmission
is really in
NEUTRAL
