Manual and Spare Parts List ZF M line 3 This ZF M manual has been prepared for all those who have to do with ZF- HURTH Marine reversing gearbox units of the ZF M line, including models ZF 3 M, ZF 5 M, ZF 10 M, ZF 12 M, ZF 15 M, ZF 15 MA, ZF 25 M, ZF 25 MA, ZF 30 M, ZF 15 MIV, in particular for - power plant suppliers - shipyards - craft owners The ZF M manual is intended as an aid for handling ZF M transmissions and will answer all questions that may arise in daily operation and in connection with the installation and repair of ZF M transmis- sions. This manual contains: - Technical description of the gearbox units and a number of important tech- nical data; - Instructions for proper installation of the gearbox in the craft; - Explanatory notes on correct operation and maintenance; - Detailed description of all disassembly and reassembly procedures (with drawings); - Troubleshooting table with possible causes of trouble and the required re- medial action; - Spare parts list with stock numbers of all sparte parts; - Explosion-View drawings showing each part with the reference numerals used in the text. No problems will be encountered in han- dling, installing and operating the ZF M gearbox if the instructions in this manual are followed. Should a repair be neces- sary, a qualified technician will have no difficulty in doing the repair work in ac- cordance with the detailed instructions given on the following pages. In addition, ZF M Service Stations (dis- tributors and dealers) are available for any repairs and for supplying the spare parts required. The manufacturer will al- ways be glad to name the Service Sta- tion nearest to your location. All transmission units are covered by a worldwide guarantee given by the manu- facturer. The manufacturer’s warranty will be subject to the condition that: - the instructions in this manual are strictly observed in handling the transmission. - no work is performed by persons not authorized by ZF-HURTH Marine. - no changes or alterations of any kind are made on the transmission. Failure to observe these points will invalide all and any warranty claims. Caution: never start doing any work on the transmission unless and until the engine and the propeller have come to a complete standstill.

Manual and Spare Parts List ZF M line 5 1. Description 1.1 Brief description ZF-HURTH Marine boat reversing gear- box units of the ZF M line are servo-au- tomatically controlled helical gear trans- missions developed for use in pleasure craft and commercial craft. The servo- operated multiple-disc clutch requires only minimum effort for shifting, making the ZF M transmission suitable for single-lever remote control via a rod linkage or shift cable. In emergency situations the ZF M per- mits direct reversing at engine speed above idle rpm. The torque capacity of the clutch is ex- actly rated, preventing shock loads from exceeding a predetermined value to en- sure maximum protection of the engine and thus providing the effect of a safety clutch. The transmission units are characterized by low weight and small overall dimen- sions. The gearbox castings are made of a high-strength, corrosion-resistant aluminium alloy, chromized for improved seawater resistance and optimum adhesion of paint. A choice of gear ratios, a high efficiency rating and low-noise operation are other prominent features of the ZF M gearbox units. The transmissions are immersion-lubri- cated. Maintenance is restricted to oil level checks (see «Maintenance», chap- ter 4). The shafts are supported by heavy-duty taper roller bearings and the gearbox is designed to take the axial propeller thrust (for permissible values see «Technical data», item 1.2). Transmission sizes are available for right-hand (RH) and left-hand (LH) rotation of the input shaft, the direction of rotation being specified as seen by an observer facing the input shaft. In gear lever positions A, the engine shaft and the propeller shaft rotate in oppo- site directions, in position B in the same direction (Fig. 1). On model ZF 15 MIV, the directions of rotation are the other way round (Fig. 2). Engine manufacturers should note that the direction of rotation refers to an ob- server facing the flywheel, so that left- hand rotation of the engine corresponds to right-hand rotation of the gearbox in- put shaft.
