FILTER
ASSEMBLY
HSW
The
ZF transmission has a filter element located opposite the
dipstick. This filter must
be
replaced whenever the fluid is
changed.
Remove the filter
by
loosening the screw on the cover using
a
6mm
Allen wrench.
Twist and pull out the filter and remove the element. Place
the new filter onto the cover and lock
it
into place
by
turning
it clockwise. Check the
0-rings
for damage and replace
if
necessary. Replacement filters can be obtained from your
local WESTERBEKE dealer.
Removing
the
Fluid
Push a suction pump hose down through the pipe hole (under
the filter) to the bottom
of
the housing and suck out the fluid.
Remove the oil return line from the cooler and allow the oil
to drain into a container, then reconnect the oil return line.
Wipe down the transmission and properly dispose
of
the used
fluid.
Replacing
the
Fluid
Pour in new
Dextran
III ATF fluid and check the quantity
with the dipstick.
Transmission fluid quantities will vary with the use
of
cool-
ers, length
of
hoses and the angle
of
the transmission.
Approximate Quantities
HSW450A2-
2.65 U.S.Quarts (2.5 Liters)
HSW630Al-
4.2 U.S.Quarts (4.0 Liters)
Reinsert the filter assembly into the housing. Press it in place
and tighten the Allen screw.
NOTE:
Some
ZF transmissions
use
a "T"
handle
in
place
of
a
screw
on
their filter assemblies.
After running the engine, shut down and recheck the fluid level.
A
WARNING:
Never
pull
out
the
dipstick
while
the
engine
is
running.
Hot
Uuid
will
splash
from
the
dipstick
hole.
This
could
cause
severe
burns.
MAINTENANCE
Transmission maintenance is minimal. Keep the exterior
housing clean, check the fluid level as part
of
your regular
routine, and change the fluid every
300 operating hours.
Periodically inspect the transmission and the cooler for leaks
and corrosion. Make certain the
air vent is clear and when
checking the fluid level look for signs
of
water contamination
(fluid will appear as strawberry cream).
Lay
..
up/Winterize
Storage requires special care. Follow these procedures:
D Drain water from the transmission oil cooler and replace
~ith
a proper mixture
of
antifreeze coolant.
NOTE:
This
operation will normally occur
when
the
engine
raw
water cooling system
is
properly
winterized.
D Clean up the transmission and touch up unpainted areas
(use heat resistant paint).
D Fill the transmission with Dextran III ATF fluid to
prevent internal corrosion (extended storage only, twelve
months or more).
D Loosen attaching hardware from the transmission output
flange and propeller shaft coupling flange before
removing the boat from the water. Separate the flanges
and spray with lubricant.
D Inspect the gear shift cable, linkage, and attachments.
Look for corrosion
of
the end fittings, cracks or cuts in
the conduit, and bending
of
the actuator rods. Lubricate
all moving parts.
NOTE:
If
the transmission
is
to
be
stored for a
long
time
(twelve
months or
more),
it should
be
topped off
with
fluid
to
prevent internal
corrosion.
Reduce
the
fluid
level
before
putting
the
engine back into
service.
