Controls
The only controls required
to
operate the transmission is a single lever remote control cable using a 33C
cable. The cable should be attached at right angles
to
the gear box lever using the cable bracket supplied
with the unit. Both the gear
box
lever and the remote control lever must be in the NEUTRAL position when
the cable is attached
to
the gear
box
lever. This allows the remote cable an equal
throw
distance
to
shift the
gear box into FORWARD
or
into REVERSE from the NEUTRAL position without running out
of
cable. Allow
approximately 1.18 inches
(1
3/16) minimum
of
cable throw from the NEUTRAL position
on
the transmission's
gear
box
lever
to
the each
of
the
two
drive positions.
NOTE: If the
throw
distance
(or travel)
of
the remote cable
is
too
short, the gear
box
lever
cannot
fully engage the trans-
mission Into FORWARD
(A)
or
REVERSE (8). In this situa-
tion, the transmission's clutch
plates will wear prematurely
and
the
transmission
will
eventually fail.
NOTE: Excessive
throw
dis-
tance in the remote control
lever is not detrimental
to
the
transmission. Note that the
position
of
the remote control
lever
should
align with
the
NEUTRAL
marking
on
its
bracket
when
the transmis-
sion is really in NEUTRAL.

Transmission Shifting Positions
To
shift the transmission from NEUTRAL into FORWARD, exert a heavy
push
to
the remote control lever. A
gentle throw may not carry enough force
to
actually shift the transmission's internal gears. A gentle
throw
is signalled
by
the transmission not engaging into the desired drive. Make sure the remote control lever
is
lubricated at lease once each operating season. Shift the transmission while the engine is running at 1200
rpm
or
below. The clutch pack within the transmission makes an audible "clunk" when engaging into gear.
CAUTION
NEVER
remove
or
loosen the four-bolt gear
box
lever
COVElr
from the transmission. The posi-
tion of this plate and the actuating lever inside of the transmission has been finely adjusted at
the factory
to
ensure equal throw distance
of
internal mechanisms. Loosening
of
this cover's
capscrews voids the transmission's warranty.
