1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 CUSTOMER'S
RESPONSIBILITY
The Customer/Operator is responsi-
ble to perform the necessary safety
checks to ensure that lubrication, cool-
ing, maintenance and recommended
practices are strictly followed for safe,
enjoyable operation.
All Transmission units are covered by
a guarantee. Therefore: In respect to
the handling of the transmission units
the instructions stated in this manual
are to be strictly followed.
CAUTION
The manufacturer is not liable for
any damages or losses caused by
faulty installation, wrong handling
of the equipment and/or defi cient
maintenance.
The Customer has to make sure,
that any external forces, as well
as vibration caused by torsion and
bending, are avoided.
The interaction between engine,
shaft and propeller may lead to
torsional vibration, producing a
hammering noise of gears and
might damage the engine and/or
transmission.
The Supplier is not liable for such
torsional vibration inherent to the
installation.
This manual includes, among others,
the following three main chapters:

C Transmission ratio propeller rota-
tion same as engine rotation.
D Transmission ratio propeller rota-
tion opposite to a engine rotation.
E Every year a new progressive letter
is assigned.
F Transmission Type.

3.1 Description
ZF M boat reversing gearbox units are
automatically controlled helical gear
transmissions.
They are of sturdy construction and ut-
most reliability. Nevertheless the user
should make a point of observing the
following instructions for installation,
operation and maintenance.
Failure to do so, or unauthorized
changes in the transmission, will pre-
clude all and any warranty claims.
A Service Manual is available from the
manufacturer.

4.1 Installation
When mounting the ZF M transmis-
sions, the following items should be
specially noted:
• Mounting should be done by a spe-
cialist only.
• Arrange the transmission and engine
correctly.
• INCLINED POSITION (Fig. 3):
In relation to the input shaft, the posi-
tion of the transmission must slant no
more than 20° (15° for ZF MIV) in the
continuous service mode. Permissi-
ble lateral inclination obtainable from
manufacturer on inquiry.
• COUPLINGS: Torsionally elastic
coupling with min 0.5 mm (0.02")
radial clearance, required on engine
