5.6 Remote control adjustment
With the engine switched off, remove the plug connecting the remote control cable to the oil control block lever. Put
the lever into the forward drive position. Put the lever on the control bridge in the forward drive position and check that
the connectors (cable-lever) match. Repeat the operation for the opposite direction of motion and, if any abnormal con-
dition occurs, adjust the linkage accordingly. Lastly, check that the neutral position of the lever on the control bridge
matches the neutral position of the stator lever. Perform the same check on the "Flying Bridge", if present. This opera-
tion must be verified also after the first few hours of operation.
INSPECTION OF THE FLEXIBLE COUPLING
Replace the flexible coupling if, after a rigorous inspection, its rubber part appears to be torn or contaminated with
lubricant oil.
SHAFT LINE INSPECTION
When changing the oil through the fill cap and the oil drain plug, the shaft lines can be checked with an endoscope.
Remove the ignition key before proceeding with the operation.
NOTE:
Do not use chemical compounds on rubber parts. Make sure that you adjust the tightness of the screws and couplings. Periodically
lubricate the external control mechanisms according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
