PRM 125
FOREWORD
Provided it is correctly installed, aligned and maintained, the PRM 125 gearbox should have a long and trouble-free life.
This workshop manual contains important instructions to ensure that this is so, and it is of the utmost importance that
these are carefully followed. PRM Newage Ltd. can accept no responsibility under warranty or otherwise for any loss or
damage resulting from failure to observe these instructions.
To avoid prejudicing your rights under warranty, do not undertake any repair or other work on the gearbox during the
warranty period without first contacting PRM Newage Ltd. or an authorised distributor/dealer for advice. In the event of
failure, you should do this via the engine distributor who supplied the Gearbox, or his local dealer; if this is not possible,
you should notify the local PRM Newage distributor/dealer or PRM Newage Ltd. direct, quoting the serial number.
CLAIMS UNDER WARRANTY
Claims for replacement of parts under warranty must always be submitted with the gearbox serial number to the
distributor who supplied the gearbox; if this is not possible, application may be made to the nearest distributor, who
must, however, be advised of the supplier's name and address.
SERVICE PARTS
The comprehensive illustrated parts list gives full information and ordering procedure.
