MARINE

TRANSMISSIONS

INITIAL

OPERATION

All

HBW

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.

FilI

the

gearbox

with Automatic Transmission Fluid

(DEXRON n or DEXTRON ill). The

fluid

lev~l

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 under

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

or

when

you

change engine

oil.

Removing

the

fluid

Push a

suction

pump hose down

through

the dipstick hole

to

the

bottom

of

the

housing and suck out the

(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

The

maximum

pennissible

ATF

temperature

should

not

exceed

230"

(110°).

This

temperature

can

the

transmissiou

Huld.

LOCKING

THE

PROPELLER

Locking

of the propeller shaft

by

an

additional

brake

is

not

required:

use

the gear shift lever

position

opposite

your

direc-

tion

of

travel

for

this

pUlpose.

Never put the gear shift

in

the

position

corresponding

to

the

direction

of travel of

the

boat.

WHEN

UNDER

SAIL

OR

BEING

TOWED

Rotation

of

the

propeller without

load,

such

as

when

the

boat

is

being

sailed, being

towed,

or

anchored

in

a

river,

as

well

as

operation

of the engine

with

the propeller

stopped

(for

charg-

ing

the

battery),

will

have

no

detrimental effects

on

the

trans-

mission

DAILY

OPERATION

o Check the

transmission

fluid.

VIsually

check

the

gear shift linkage and

tiansrnission.

o Start the engine

in

neutral,

allowing a

few

minutes

at

idle

to

wann the

fluid.

o Shift into

gear.

NOTE:

Too

low

an

idle

speed will produce a

chattering

noise

from

the

transmission gear

and

damper

plate.

In

such

cases

the

idle

speed should

be

increased
