Use the index mark on the dipstick as a reference.
3. OIL LEVEL CHECKS
Check the oil level in the transmission daily. Correct oil level is the index mark on the dipstick (see
item 1 under OPERATION). Always use the same oil grade when topping up.
4. OIL CHANGE
Change the oil for the first time after about 25 hours of operation, then at intervals of at least onceaper
year.
5. CHECKING THE CABLE OR ROD LINKAGE
The cable or rod linkage should be checked at shorter time intervals. Check the zero position of the
operating lever (on the control console) and of the actuating lever (on the gearbox) on this occasion. The
minimum lever travel from the neutral position to the operating positions (0-A = 0-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 6 under INSTALLATION).
6. OVERHAUL
Disassembly of the transmission in the field is not recommended. If an overhaul or repair is needed,
the work should be done by Westerbeke or an authorized Westerbeke service center.
