2. Installation
2.1 Delivery condition
For
safety
reasons,
~~e
gearbox
is
NOT
filled
with
oil
for
shipment.
The
actuating
lever
is
mounted
on
the
actuating
shaft.
Before leaving
the
factory, each transmission
is
subjected
to
a test run with
the
prescribed ATF oil.
The
residual oil remaining in
the
transmission after draining
acts as a preservative and provides
reliable protection against corrosion for
at
least
1 year if
the
units are properly stored.
2.2
Painting
the
gearbox
Before painting
the
gearbox,
take
care
to
remove any oil films by means
of
suit-
able agents (e.g. HST safety cleansing fluid).
Always cover
the
running surfaces and sealing lips
of
the
radial sealing rings
on
both
shafts before painting. Make certain
that
the
breather hole
on
the
oil filler
screw
is
not
closed by
the
paint. Indicating plates should remain clearly legible.
2.3
Connection
of
gearbox with engine
A
torsio-elastic
damping
plate
between
the
engine
and
the
transmission
is
to
compensate
for
minor
alignment
errors
and
to
protect
the
input
shaft
from
external
forces
and
loads.
Radial
play
should
be
at
least
O.Smm.
2.4
Suspension
of
engine-gearbox assembly in
the
boat
To
protect
the
gearbox from detrimental stresses and loads, provision should be
made for
elastic suspension
of
the
engine-gearbox assembly
in
the
boat
or
craft.
The
oil drain plug
of
the
gearbox should be conveniently accessible.
2.5 Position
of
-gearbox
in
the
boat
The
inclination
of
the
gearbox unit
in
the
direction
of
the
shafts should
not
per-
manently exceed an angle of
20
degrees (see illustration).
The gearbox can also be
mounted
with
the
output
shaft
in
the
upward position.
Interchange
the
oil dipstick and
the
oil drain plug
in
this case.
