Technical data

2. PAINTING THE GEARBOX
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.
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 0.5 mm.
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.
5. POSITION OF GEARBOX IN THE BOAT
The inclination of the gearbox unit in the direction of the shafts should not permanently exceed an
angle of 20 degrees (15 degrees for the V-drive model). (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.
