SCHEDA DI GARANZIA: La ZF Padova S.p.A., entro il periodo di validità sopra citato, assumerà la responsabilità nei confronti di ogni componente del gruppo nuovo contro ogni difetto del materiale da lei stessa approvvigionato e nel caso la lavorazione non si rivelasse a regola d’arte,
tuttavia non contro difetti dovuti ad inconvenienti generati dalle condizioni di applicazione o a seguito di manovra errata, incerta o mancata manutenzione, incidenti. La ZF Padova S.p.A. non risponde neppure degli elementi quali anelli di tenuta, guarnizioni in generale, cinghie di trasmis-
sione, soffietti, protezioni e membrane in gomma che, considerata la loro natura strutturale, sono soggetti a continue sollecitazioni ed a logorio prematuro, salvo tuttavia in casi ove le carenze di montaggio, di applicazione o di origine degli elementi stessi risultino inequivocabili. I gruppi
oppure gli elementi degli stessi dovranno essere installati rispettando in modo assoluto le prescrizioni della ZF Padova S.p.A. o altrimenti, esclusivamente previo benestare da parte dell’Ufficio Progetti o applicazioni della ZF Padova S.p.A.. La ZF Padova S.p.A. riparerà o sostituirà, a tito-
lo gratuito, i gruppi oppure gli elementi realmente difettosi presso il proprio Stabilimento od una officina autorizzata ZF-Service, e se il proprietario dell’imbarcazione o del veicolo avrà provveduto preventivamente al pagamento di ogni spesa di spedizione. Ogni spesa inerente alle opera-
zioni atte a favorire l’accesso del personale tecnico autorizzato dalla ZF Padova S.p.A. al gruppo o a componenti dello stesso andranno esclusivamente a carico del proprietario dell’imbarcazione o del veicolo. ZF Padova S.p.A. declina ogni responsabilità per danni, spese, rivalse di qual-
sivoglia tipo. Ogni spesa derivante e non preventivamente autorizzata non verrà rimborsata. Interventi di riparazione o modifica effettuati sul gruppo o elementi dello stesso senza il preventivo benestare della ZF Padova S.p.A. oppure da personale non autorizzato dalla ZF Padova S.p.A.

INTRODUCTION
RESPONSIBILITIES
The customer/operator is responsible for carrying out the maintenance checks described in this
handbook to ensure the efficient and safe operation of the marine gearbox.
Each marine gearbox is covered by warranty, which is only valid if the instructions in this manual
are strictly adhered to.
ATTENTION
ZF PADOVA S.p.A. is not liable for any damage or loss caused by the incorrect installation,
improper use or lack of maintenance of the equipment.
ZF PADOVA S.p.A is not responsible for any torsional vibration caused by the incorrect interaction
between engine, shaft and propeller. This torsional vibration may damage the engine and/or
marine gearbox.

The following symbols are used to highlight important information on technical reliability and safety:
This symbol denotes a procedure that could result in physical injury to the operator or to other persons in the
vicinity if not followed correctly.
The warning symbol denotes procedures which, if not carried out or only partially carried out, may result in
damage to the marine gearbox, engine or connected equipment.
Pay particular attention to these notes, as they contain important information.
OPERATION
A marine gearbox has three main functions:
• to couple the engine to the propeller shaft and reduce the number of propeller revolutions;
• to reverse the direction of drive;
• to stop the movement of the propeller shaft (neutral).
A simplified diagram of the hydraulic circuit is shown below.
Fig. 2.1

GB
The marine gearbox the following three operating modes:
Neutral
The output shaft [2] connected to the propeller shaft does not transmit any rotation.
The clutches are disengaged.
Engine rotation
The output shaft [2] connected to the propeller shaft rotates in the same direction as the input
shaft [1].
Counter engine rotation
The output shaft [2] connected to the propeller shaft rotates in the opposite direction to the input
shaft [1].
E.R. = direction of rotation same as direction of rotation of engine
C.E.R. = direction of rotation opposite to direction of rotation of engine
The transmission ratio, for both the engine and counter-engine rotation modes, is stated on the identification plate.
The three types of operation are controlled by the control valve [3] (mechanical or electrical).
The gearbox can be supplied with or without optionals (oil cooler, flexible coupling, brackets, trolling valve).

Gearboxes are supplied without oil.
The gearbox must be filled with oil and the oil level checked before use.
(see MAINTENANCE section)
Using the gearbox with insufficient oil could damage the gears.
Too much oil could cause leakages through the gaskets and breather and considerably increase the
running temperature.
Under normal conditions, the drive should be reversed when the engine is idling.
In emergencies, the drive can be reversed with the engine running at maximum speed.
Repeatedly reversing the drive with the engine running at maximum speed will considerably

shorten the life of the clutches
Make sure the engine and propeller are at a standstill before carrying out any kind of operation
on the gearbox.
MECHANICAL TROLLING VALVE (M.T.V.)
The trolling valve is a device that allows the number of propeller revolutions to be changed indepen-
dently of the engine running speed. The M.T.V. is usually applied in the following circumstances:
1) when the boat speed is too high, even though the engine is idling.
2) when the rotation speed of the PTO must be greater than the propeller rotation speed.
The M.T.V. can be used in both drive directions and the maximum running speeds are:
- Maximum rotation speed = 800 rpm, for engines with maximum running speeds less than 2400 rpm.
- Maximum rotation speed = 1000 rpm for engines with maximum running speeds greater than 2400 rpm.
Use instructions
Check that the M.T.V. is deselected before engaging the gear. After engaging the gear, gradually move
the M.T.V. lever until the desired manoeuvre speed is reached.
When operating with trolling valve, the number of revolutions can be changed within the limits given
above.
It is forbidden to reverse the drive when the
M.T.V. is engaged.
ELECTRIC TROLLING VALVE
(E.T.V.)
This is an electrical device that has the same functions and is used in the same way as the M.T.V.
The E.T.V. operates via a proportional solenoid valve.
TOWING
Towing can be done continuously for 8 hours. Check that the oil temperature does not go over 80°C.
The position of the control lever is of no importance when the engine is off.
Do not perform any operations on the transmission during towing, as the propeller may start
turning.

When installing the shift control linkage,
make sure the travel on the lever takes it
right to the travel limit, when operated from
the bridge console.
If it doesn't, this could result in the burning of
the clutches because the oil flow rate will be
too low.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BREAKDOWN
If a breakdown occurs in the electrical system or the solenoid valve solenoids, the clutches can be
engaged manually with a mechanical system. To operate this system, remove the cap [2] (Fig. 1.3),
press the button [3] (Fig. 2.3) and turn anti-clockwise.
A= valve closed (normal position)
B= valve open (emergency position)
To reset the electrical control valve, torque the cap [2] to 6.8÷9.2 Nm.
Torque the solenoid valves to 27 Nm if they have been replaced or removed.
Never perform this operation on both valves at once, as both clutches will engage at the same
time and cause the transmission to lock up.

PROPELLER SHAFT CONNECTION
You are advised to use a thrust bearing to reduce the inevitable axial strain on the gearbox.
Performance data for the propeller shaft bearing will depend on the loads applied during operation,
and must be specified by the designer and builder of the boat.
The alignment must be checked with the boat in the water, as the deformation of the hull in the water
is enough to alter an alignment done on stands.

V-DRIVE gearbox is not flanged directly on to the engine. Make sure that the connecting cardan shaft
does not transmit vibration which could damage the transmission.
V-DRIVE gearbox is installed separately, with a drive shaft and the foundation mounting can be either
rigid or elastic.
If necessary, in addition to the normal flexible coupling fitted to the engine, fit an extra damper to
absorb the vibration caused by an imperfect alignment.

GEARBOXES V-DRIVE
The advice given in the preceeding paragraph are also valid in this case. If the gearbox is installed
separately, it is necessary to use a universal joint with variable lenght. To make the joint work in the
best conditions (omokinetic transmission) and to avoid damaging the gearbox or the motor, it is neces-
sary to respect some rules for the installation, as indicated in the following schemes.
ALIGNMENT METHOD WITH PARALLEL FACES FLANGES
The motor and the gearbox must be installed so that flanges A and B are parallel.
1Motor
2Flexible coupling
3Universal joint with variable lenght.
– Selected in accordance with the manu-
facturer advice.
– In compliance with the instructions for the
installation.
4Propeller axle.
5Marine gearbox with input and output on the
same face.
Make sure the longitudinal axis of the flexible
coupling, the universal joint and the gearbox
input shaft are aligned on the same vertical plane.
ALIGNMENT METHOD WITH COUNTERPOINT SHAFTS
1Motor
2Gearbox
3Universal joint with variable lenght.
– Selected in accordance with the manu-
facturer advice.
– In compliance with the instructions for the
installation.
4Propeller axle.
To facilitate the correct alignment of the motor
and the gearbox, that is to say to obtain iden-
tical connecting angles: ß1 and ß2:
– install two alignment shafts 6 instead of
the universal joint;
– the shafts must have the same lenght;
– align the two units so that the heads of
the shafts meets each other, to ensure
the angles identity (ß1 and ß2);
– then remove the alignment shafts and
install the universal joint;
– make sure the longitudinal axis of the
flexible coupling, the gearbox alignment and input shafts are aligned on the same vertical plane.

An alignment error could cause irreversible damage to the transmission, together with noise,
vibration and damage to the hull seal systems.
ZF Padova S.p.A. is relieved of all liability for breakage under warranty.
When installing the transmission, make sure enough space is left for maintenance access: i.e. chan-
ging the oil filter, dipstick access.
Check that the oil drain plug is easily accessible.

CHECK OIL LEVEL
The oil level check must be done two minutes after turning off the engine. The correct oil level is
between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick (see Fig.1.5).
After the initial filling or after carrying out repairs or changing the oil filter, run the gearbox for about
two minutes. Following this, recheck the oil level two minutes after turning the engine off.
OIL CHANGE
Remove the filler cap and extract the oil level dipstick [2].
Drain off the lubricant oil by removing the drain plugs [1], saving the gaskets.
Collect the used oil and observe the binding rules for special waste disposal.
Screw in the plugs [1] to torque 30 Nm, fill with oil through the filler cap and screw in the cap to torque
50 Nm.

SUCTION FILTER CHECK
Inspect and clean the suction filter after the first 50 hours of sailing and then repeat every 250 hours
and/or 6 months. The filter is located on the inlet side of the oil pump. Removal procedure:
take out the plug [1], remove the filter [2], remove the gasket [3] (replacing it with a new one) and clean
the filter. The plug [1] must be screwed in to torque 105 Nm.
CHANGING OIL FILTER
Turn the cartridge [1] anti-clockwise with a special tool and remove it completely.
Clean the filter attachment base. Spread a film of oil on the new cartridge gasket then screw it in fully,
hand-tightened only.
Storage
If the transmission is going to be stored for a long period, fill it fully with oil through the dipstick. Change
the oil when the transmission is going to be used again.
ADJUSTING SHIFT CONTROL LINKAGE
With the engine off, unplug the shift control linkage connecting cable with the control valve lever. Put
the lever in the forward drive position. Select the same direction with the bridge console control lever
and check that the positions of the respective couplers (lever/cable) coincide. Repeat the operation for
the opposite direction and, if any irregularities are found, adjust the linkage accordingly. Now check
that the neutral position of the lever at the console coincides with the neutral position of the control
valve lever. Repeat the operation on the "Flying Bridge", if present. This operation must also be repea-
ted after the first few hours of running.

CHECKING FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS
Replace the flexible coupling if, on close inspection, the rubber part has tears or is contaminated with
lubricating oil.
Remove the ignition key before cranking the engine.
Do not use chemicals on rubber components. Check that all threaded parts are tight. Lubricate the
moving parts of the shift linkage periodically as indicated by the manufacturer.
The marine gearbox has an identification plate stating its characteristics. If this plate is tampered with
in any way or removed the warranty will lose its validity.
The data on the plate must be quoted each time a service centre is contacted.
N.B.:
THE GUARANTEE FORM IS ON PAGE 1.
THE GUARANTEE PERIOD IS AS STATED ON THE GUARANTEE FORM, WHICH MUST BE
CONSERVED TOGETHER WITH THE ON-BOARD DOCUMENTS.
