This manual is intended for skilled personnel trained by
ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AG to carry out maintenance
and repair work on ZF products.
This manual deals with a ZF product in accordance
with the state of development of test rigs on the date
of issue.
However, due to continuing development of function
test rigs, repair work might require work practices and
test or adjustment data which are not contained in this
manual.
We therefore recommend that work done on your ZF
product is carried out only by skilled mechanics and fit-
ters who have had their practical and theoretical knowl-
edge updated on a regular basis at our After-Sales Ser-
vice training courses.
Service points equipped by ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN
AG all over the world offer you:
1. Well-trained personnel.
2. Specified equipment, e.g. specialized tools.
3. Genuine ZF spares, to our latest specifica-
tions.
All work performed in these service points is carried out
conscientiously and with care.
Repair work carried out at ZF service points is guar-
anteed in accordance with the prevailing contractual
conditions.
Damage resulting from work performed by non-ZF per-
sonnel in an improper and unprofessional manner,
together with follow-on costs caused by such work, is
excluded from the contractual warranty agreement.
This also applies where genuine parts have not been
used.

SAFETY NOTICE
Companies repairing ZF units are responsible for their
own work safety.
To avoid injury to personnel and damage to pro-
ducts, all safety regulations and legal requirements
which apply to repair and maintenance work must
be adhered to.
Before starting work, mechanics must familiarize
themselves with these regulations.
Personnel required to carry out repairs on ZF products
must receive appropriate training in advance. It is the
responsibility of each company to ensure that their
repair staff is properly trained.
The following safety instructions appear in this
manual:
NOTE
Refers to special processes, techniques, data, use
of auxiliary equipment, etc.
CAUTION
This is used when incorrect, unprofessional
working practices could damage the product.
DANGER
This is used when lack of care could lead to
personal injury or death.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Read this manual carefully before starting any tests or
repair work.
CAUTION
Pictures, drawings and components do not always
represent the original object, but are used to illustrate
working procedures.
Pictures, drawings and components are not to scale.
Conclusions about size and weight should not be
drawn (even within a complete illustration).
Always follow the working steps as described in the
text.
After completion of repair work and testing, skilled staff
must satisfy themselves that the product is functioning
correctly.
THREATS TO THE ENVIRONMENT !
Lubricants and cleaning agents must not be allowed
to enter the soil, ground water or sewage system.
• Ask your local environment agency for
safety information on the relevant products
and adhere to their requirements.
• Collect used oil in a suitably large container.
• Dispose of used oil, dirty filters, lubricants
and cleaning agents in accordance with
environmental protection guidelines.
• When working with lubricants and cleaning
agents always refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
CAUTION
The transmission must NOT be hung by the input
shaft NOR by the output flange.

Instructions for repairs 10 AS 2301, 12 AS 2301, 16 AS 2601
6 Index: 99-02-01
In case of doubt always turn to the relevant depart-
ment within ZF After-Sales Services for advice.
All work on transmissions is to be performed expertly
and under clean conditions.
Use specified tools to dismantle and assemble trans-
missions.
After removing the transmission from the vehicle,
clean thoroughly with a suitable cleaning agent before
opening.
Pay particular attention to the projections and recesses
of housings and covers when cleaning.
Parts joined with Loctite are easier to separate if
warmed with a fan heater.
CLEANING PARTS
Remove remains of old gaskets on all seal-faces.
Carefully remove burrs or similar patches of roughness
using an oil-stone.
Lube bores and grooves must be free of anti-corrosion
agents and foreign matter; check for perfect passage.
Carefully cover opened transmissions to prevent foreign
matter from entering.
REUSING PARTS
Parts such as ball or roller bearings, multi-discs, thrust
washers etc., must be inspected by a competent person,
who should decide whether or not they can be re-used.
Replace parts which are damaged or have suffered from
excessive wear.
GASKETS, LOCKING PLATES
Parts which cannot be removed without being damaged
must always be replaced with new parts (e.g. gaskets
and locking plates).
SHAFT SEALS
Always change shaft seals with rough, ripped or
hardened packing washers. Seal contact surfaces must
be totally clean and in perfect condition.
REWORKING
Rework may be carried out on seal contact surfaces
using plunge-cut grinding only, never use an emery
cloth. Ensure that there are no traces of grinding or
riffling.
If rework is needed on distance washers, shims etc.
because of clearance settings, ensure that the reworked
areas contain no face runout and have the same surface
quality.
TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY
Find a clean site to assemble the transmission. Gaskets
are installed without the use of sealing compound or
grease. When measuring silicon-coated gaskets, take
care not to include the silicon layer in the measure-
ment.
During assembly, comply with all adjustment data,
checking data and tightening torques in the Repair
Manual.

10 AS 2301, 12 AS 2301, 16 AS 2601 Instructions for repairs
7 Index: 99-02-01
BEARINGS
If bearings are mounted in heated condition, they are to
be heated evenly (e.g. heating cabinet).
Temperature should be at ca. 85 °C and must not exceed
120 °C. Each mounted bearing must be oiled with
operating oil.
SEALING
If a specific sealing agent* is to be used for sealing,
comply with the manufacturer’s directions for use.
Apply a thin layer of sealing agent to the surfaces and
spread evenly. Do not allow sealing to enter oil ducts
and bores. On oil-carrying ducts and bores, wipe off the
sealing agent on the surfaces to be sealed near apertures
to ensure that no sealing agent enters the oil feeds when
the surfaces are sealed.
SHAFT SEALS
a) Apply a light coat of sealing agent* on outer edge of
shaft seals with “steel surround”.
b) Never apply sealing agent to shaft seals with
“rubber surround”, but apply a thin coat of Vaseline
8420 to the outer edge or wet with a lubricant, e.g. a
water-soluble, concentrated washing-up liquid (e.g.
Pril, Coin, Palmolive).
c) Shaft seals with steel and rubber surrounds should be
treated on the outer edge of the rubber surround as
described above in section b).
d) Dual shaft seals have two sealing
lips. The dust-proof sealing lip (X)
must face outwards.
e) Fill the gap between the sealing
lips so it is 60% filled with grease (e.g. produced
by Aral such as Aralub HL2 or by DEA such as
Spectron FO 20).
f) If possible, heat shaft seal bores to between 40 and
50 °C (makes fitting easier). Press the seal shaft with
mounting or faceplate onto the relevant installation
depth plan.
RETAINING AGENTS
Retaining agents* may only be used in places as
specified in the parts list.
Always comply with manufacturer’s directions for use
when using retaining agents (e.g. Loctite).
During assembly, comply with all adjustment data,
checking data and tightening torques.
TRANSMISSION OIL
After completing repairs, fill transmissions with trans-
mission oil. For the procedure and approved oils, refer
to the transmission operating manual and List of Lubri-
cants TE-ML (refer to identification plate) which are
available from any ZF After-Sales Service Point. After
filling the transmission with oil, tighten the screw plugs
at the oil filling point and the oil overflow to the speci-
fied torques.
