LOWER UNIT
plug.
Remove
the gear lubricant
tube, and
install the drain/fill
plug.
25-
After the lower plug has been instal-
led, remove the vent plug again and using a
squirt-type
oil can,
add
lubricant
through
this vent hole.
A squirt-type
oil can must
be used to allow the trapped
air in the lower
unit to escape
at the same
time
the
final
lubricant
is added.
Once the
unit is com-
pletely
full,
install
and
tighten
the
vent
plug.
A FEW GOOD WORDS
The propeller
washer,
if used, and drive
pin play an extremely
important
role.
When
shifting
gears during normal operation,
or if
the
propeller
should hit an underwater
ob-
stacle,
the propeller
is subjected
to consid-
erable shock.
A washer is installed
between
the
propeller
and drive
pin.
This washer
MUST
always be in place for proper
opera-
tion.
If the hub should slip, the
propeller
will move back
towards
the
propeller
nut
and lock against
the drive pin.
The washer
is designed
to stop propeller
movement
so
the
drive
pin can
be easily
removed
for
service.
Now, on with the installation.
26-
Install
the propeller.
Coat the pro-
peller
shaft
with an anti-corrosion
grease.
Install the propeller
with the drive pin holes
aligned.
Install
the
washer
and drive
pin.
Slide the propeller
cap into place and secure
it with the cotter
pin.
27-
Final adjustment
for remote
control
units:
Shift the lower unit into
NEUTRAL
gear.
At the shift box, move the shift lever
to the
NEUTRAL
position.
If the pin on the
end of the shift
cable,
does not align with
the
shift
handle,
move the
adjusting
knob
until the
pin aligns and will move into the
shift handle.
With the shift cable removed,
move the
lower
unit into
FORWARD
gear
and at the same
time
rotate
the
propeller
CLOCKWISE
to ensure
the
gears
are fully
indexed.
At the control
box, move the shift
lever
into
the
FOR WARD
position.
Again
check to be sure the pin on the end of the
shift
cable aligns with the hole in the shift
lever.
Adjust the knob on the
shift
cable
until the pin does align with the hole in the
shift lever.
Perform
a functional
check of the com-
pleted
work by mounting the engine in a test
tank,
in a body of water,
or with a flush
attachment
connected
to the lower unit.
If
the flush attachment
is used,
NEVER
oper-
ate the engine above an idle speed, because
the no-load condition
on the propeller
would
allow the engine to
RUNAWAY
resulting
in
serious damage or destruction
of the engine.
CAUTION: Water must circulate
through
the lower
unit
to the engine any time the en-
gine is
run
to
prevent
damage
to the water
pump in the
lower
unit,
Just
five seconds
without water will damage the water pump.
