Alignment
Misalignment between the transmission's coupling and the propeller shaft's coupling can create serious
problems. Make sure the alignment procedures
outlined
in
the "Propeller Shaft Coupling,"
the"
Propeller, "
and
the"
Alignment of the Engine" sections of this manual are followed, pages
24
and
25.
Controls
The only controls required
to
operate the
transmission
is
a single lever remote control
cable. The cable should
be
attached to the
gear box lever using the cable bracket sup-
plied with the unit. Both the gear box lever
and the remote control lever must
be
in the
NEUTRAL position when the cable
is
at-
tached to the gear box lever. This
allows the
remote cable
an
equal throw distance
to
shift
the
gear
box
into
FORWARD
or
into
REVERSE
from
the NEUTRAL
position
without running out
of
cable. Allow ap-
proximately 1 1/2 inches of cable throw from
the NEUTRAL position on the transmission's
gear box lever to the each of the two drive
positions.
NOTE:
lithe
throw distance (or travel)
of the remote cable
is
too short, the
gear box lever cannot
fully engage the
transmission
into
FORWARD
or
REVERSE. In
this
situation,
the
transmission's internal clutches will
wear prematurely and the transmis-
sion may not
properly engage, will
over heat, and eventually
fail.
NOTE:
Excessive throw distance in the
remote control lever is not detrimental
to
the transmission. Note that the posi-
tion of the remote control lever should
align with the NEUTRAL marking on its
bracket when the transmission
is
real-
ly in NEUTRAL.
