ZF PADOVA
Turn the cartridge anti-clockwise with a special tool and remove it completely.
Clean the filter attachment base. Spread a film of oil on the new cartridge gasket then screw
it in fully, hand-tightened only.
Storage
If the transmission is going to be stored for a long period, fill it fully with oil through the
dipstick. Changethe oil when the transmission is going to be used again.
ADJUSTING SHIFT CONTROL LINKAGE
With the engine off, unplug the shift control linkage connecting cable with the control valve
lever. Put the lever in the forward drive position. Select the same direction with the bridge
console control lever and check that the positions of the respective couplers (lever/cable)
coincide. Repeat the operation for the opposite direction and, if any irregularities are found,
adjust the linkage accordingly. Now checkthat the neutral position of the lever at the conso-
le coincides with the neutral position of the controlvalve lever. Repeat the operation on the
"Flying Bridge", if present. This operation must also be repeated after the first few hours of
running.
CHECKING FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS
Replace the flexible coupling if, on close inspection, the rubber part has tears or is contami-
nated with lubricating oil.
Remove the ignition key before cranking the engine.
Do not use chemicals on rubber components. Check that all threaded parts are tight. Lubri-
cate the moving parts of the shift linkage periodically as indicated by the manufacturer.
