4. Maintenance
4.1
Transmission oil
To
ensure trouble-free operation
of
the clutch, only
use
oil
of
the recommended
type.
Under no circumstances
should the oil contain any additives
such
as
molybdenum
sulphite.
We
recommend commercial Automatic Transmission Fluid
(ATF),
Type A
or
Dexron
II.

Use
the index mark on the dipstick

a reference.
4.3
Oil level checks
Check
the
oil
level
in
the
transmission
daily.
Correct
oil
level
is
the
index
mark
on
the
dipstick
(see
item
3.1)
.
Always
use
the
same
oil
grade
when
topping
up.
4.4 Oil
change
Change
the oil
for
the first time after about 25 hours
of
operation, then at inter-
vals
of
at least 1 year.
4.5
Checking the Bowden cable
or
rod linkage
The Bowden cable
or
rod linkage should
be
checked at shorter
time
intervals.
The minimum lever travel from the neutral position
to
operating positions
(O-A
=
O-B)
should
be
35 mm
for
the outer and 30
mm
for
the inner pivot point.
Make certain
that
these
minimum
values
are
safely reached. Check the cable
or
rod linkage
for
easy
movability
(see
item 2.9).
4.6
OVERHAUL
Disassembly
of
the
transmission
in
the
field
is
not
recom-
mended.
If
an
overhaul
or
repair
is
needed,
the
work
should
be
done
by
Westerbeke
or
an
authorized
Westerbeke
service
center.
