2-5. Preliminary Servicing and Preparation for Installation, and Adjustment. Perform the following procedures to
prepare the reduction gear for installation and operation.
Overview The steps for preliminary servicing of the reduction gear are
very important. The steps will cover:
o
Preparing the gearbox.
o
Filling with oil.
o
Checking oil level and checking for leaks.
WARNING
Acid may be extremely dangerous to personnel and machinery. Always
provide a tank of strong soda water as a neutralizing agent.
NOTE
All bright parts on the outside of the gearbox (flange on the propeller side,
drive shaft) are protected by an anti-corrosion agent. Connections (such
as oil and water) that cannot be fitted until the unit has been installed are
closed with plugs. Piping that could be damaged in shipment is packaged
separately.  Connections and pipes that must be modified (that is,
renewed) in the course of installation must be acidified and cleaned before
use. Adjustable units (pressure limiting valves and pressure controllers)
have been set for the specified pressure before delivery.
a.
Remove protective caps, plugs, inserts, wrappings, and tape. Inspect piping openings for damage. Wipe
off dirt, grease, or protective films.
NOTE
The gearbox is supplied without an oil filling and is treated with an anti-
corrosion treatment.  It is not necessary to flush the anti-corrosion
treatment from the gearbox before filling with oil. The treatment is oil
soluble and will not affect any properties of the oil.
b.
Fill gearbox with oil.
