These Operating Instructions are a fundamental part of the transmission and must always be available.
These Operating Instructions serve avoiding malfunctions and damage during operation and should therefore be
made available for maintenance and operating personnel.
The warranty terms and conditions agreed upon with ZF Friedrichshafen AG for the transmission are to be applied.
ZF Friedrichshafen AG will only accept warranty claims when:
 The transmission is installed, monitored, operated and maintained according to these Operating Instructions.
 Lubricants approved by ZF are used (ZF TE-ML 04).
 Limit values for the maximum engine output speed ratio according to the type plate as well as the engine speed
according to the transmission classification have not been exceeded.
ZF Friedrichshafen AG does not assume any liability or warranty obligations for damage and defects resulting from
unauthorized changes or modifications to the transmission and transmission components.
These Operating Instructions apply to standard transmissions. Differences due to customisation and operating condi-
tions are possible. The information in the specifications is binding when the information in the Operating Instructions
deviates from these technical and/or commercial specifications.

1.6 Transport
 Always use the lifting lugs or suspension brackets pro-
vided to suspend the transmission.
 Never use transmission components such as cooler,
oil pump, pipework, brackets, sensors, input or output
shafts for attaching lifting devices.
 Do not stand under the transmission and stay clear of
the danger area during lifting and lowering.
 Observe centre of gravity of transmission. When trans-
porting, always keep the transmission in the installa-
tion position with a maximum admissible inclined
hoist of 10 degrees.
 Always keep the lifting rope or chain a minimum dis-
tance of 20 mm away from the transmission compo-
nents.
 The load capacity of the lifting device must be at least
4,000 kg.
 Secure the transmission against tilting during trans-
port. Secure the transmission against slipping and tilt-
ing when using slopes and ramps.

1.6.1 Transmission without suspension bracket

Lifting lugs are screwed on machined surfaces used for

attaching the suspension bracket.
 Do not use lifting lugs other than for transmission
transport. They must not be used for transporting the
complete power unit (engine and transmission).
 Remove the lifting lugs before attaching the suspen-
sion bracket.

1.6.2 Transmission with suspension brackets

If the transmission is delivered with original ZF suspen-

sion brackets, the outer reinforcing ribs are designed to
be used as lifting lugs.
 Always use these holes for all sling gear (e.g. shackle
A4 according to DIN 82101, not supplied by ZF).
 If suspension brackets are not supplied by ZF, the
shipyard or engine manufacturer must provide an
appropriate transmission suspension.

1.6.3 Lowering the transmission after transport

 Always lower the transmission on a flat, solid surface.

 Observe condition, load capacity of the floor and/or
surface.
 Never place the transmission on the oil sump unless
expressly authorized by ZF for the individual transmis-
sion.

The transmission can be mounted on the engine as
"free-standing" or "flanged".

Free-standing installation
The transmission is rigidly or elastically supported in the
foundation and the engine is normally elastically sup-
ported. A flexible clutch serves as drive connection be-
tween engine and transmission. The clutch serves as
torsional vibration damper and must also compensate ax-
ial, angular, and, to a minor extent, radial displacement
of connected equipment.

not exceeded.

Flanged installation
The engine is connected to the transmission via the
transmission bell housing.
This ensures good centring between engine and trans-
mission. The flexible clutch does not need to compensate
additional forces which could otherwise occur due to
shaft displacement.

A flexible clutch is fitted on the engine side for vibrational
decoupling of engine and transmission.
Radial and axial forces occur on the joint shaft. Additional
support points may be required depending on the length
of the joint shafts used. If one support point between the
flexible clutch of the engine and joint shaft is sufficient, it
is fitted on the engine as a bell housing. Alternatively, the
joint shaft can be supported directly in the foundation.

3.1 Functions
The transmission and power flow diagram shows the power transmission for the "engine wise rotation" output direc-
tion (input and output rotate in same direction) and for the "counter-engine wise rotation" output direction (input and
output rotate in opposite directions). The engine performance can be transmitted to the full extent in both output di-
rections. The ratio shown on the type plate applies for both output directions. This means fully identical transmission
versions can be used for installations with several engines. This reduces spare parts and enables using uniform re-
placement units.

3.1.7 Oil supply

The engine-dependent primary oil pump is driven by the transmission intermediate shaft via a driver. The continuous
delivery gear pump operates according to the positive displacement principle and is largely self-priming.
The delivery rate of this primary oil pump depends on the speed of the transmission input shaft. The gear pump has a
high delivery rate to ensure sufficient oil for lubrication and cooling of the transmission is available, also at low input
speed. The high delivery rate also ensures rapid response of the respective clutch switched.

3.1.8 Hydraulic multi-disc clutch

Actuating the hydraulic multi-disc clutch effects even and reliable shift procedure. During switching, the contact pres-
sure of the clutch is modulated which results in smooth creation and/or interruption of the power flow in the transmis-
sion. An increased oil flow is supplied to the switched multi-disc set to dissipate heat occurring during the shift
procedure more quickly and thus increase the load capacity of the clutch.
A mechanical emergency control is available for operating should malfunctions occur in the pressure oil circuit. For
this purpose, the multi-disc clutch(es) is/are pressed together mechanically using three screws accessible from the
outside while the transmission is idle.
This emergency control can be used to operate reverse transmissions with "engine wise rotation" (EW) or "coun-
ter-engine wise rotation" (CEW) input direction.

3.1.9 Transmission cooling

The transmission oil cooler is designed according to the pipe bundle principle as a compact and lightweight unit.
All standard transmission versions are fitted with an oil filter equipped with one filter cartridge.
The cooled oil flows through an oil filter, from there into the control unit and finally to the clutches and lubricating
points of the transmission.

Description - basic transmission and variants

3.1.10 Control unit and transmission actuation

The control piston is moved axially to the relevant shift position "Neutral" / "Engine wise rotation" / "Counter-engine
wise rotation". This is done either mechanically or hydraulically depending on the actuation version. The oil flowing
out of the control unit is used for lubricating and cooling the clutch discs, meshing gears and bearings.
With mechanical transmission actuation, the control piston is moved axially through oil pressure via a mechanically
operated pilot valve. The pilot valve is mounted on top of the control unit.
With electrical transmission actuation, the control piston is moved axially through oil pressure via an electrically oper-
ated pilot valve. The pilot valve is mounted on top of the control unit. Electrical transmission actuation is included in
the basic transmission version.

The flexible clutch has the task of influencing inherent
frequencies of the rotating masses of the engine, trans-
mission, and propeller so that no detrimental vibration
resonance occurs within the operating speed range.

sion input shaft (see Section 2.2 Technical data) must
not be exceeded. Dimension suspension brackets for en-
gine and/or intermediate shaft and transmission as well
as for the foundation adequately so that inadmissible de-
formations are excluded. This would result in noise and
vibrations. Reinforcement of the foundation may be nec-
essary.
The joint shaft size to be used depends on the engine
performance, engine speed, size of the joint angle, and
the required service life of the joint shaft. A recommenda-
tion is normally given by the joint shaft manufacturer ac-
cording to the specific application case.
To ensure proper kinematic operation of the joint shafts,
the joint angles must be the same size on both sides and
the joint forks mounted on one level. Keep joint angles as
small as possible. The reference value for transmissions
with parallel input and output shafts is maximum 7° to
8°.

4.1.9.1 Installation
All required oil pipes are connected fixed and ready for
operation. Connections for the cooling water inlet and
outlet are closed with blind flanges when delivered. For
further information, see the respective transmission in-

welding flanges during installation of the cooling water
pipe. Install an elastic adapter (compensator, hose piece)

rection, i.e. do not swap the water inlet and water outlet.
The temperature increase of the cooling water in the
transmission oil cooler is maximum 5°C. The mixing tem-
perature of the engine cooling circuit increases by ap-
prox. 0.5°C and is therefore irrelevant. The indicated
maximum cooling water flow rate through the transmis-
sion oil cooler must not be exceeded; otherwise there is
the risk of cavitation in the cooler. The minimum flow rate
must also be adhered to otherwise the flow rate is too
low which can lead to the transmission oil cooler silting
up prematurely or the water flow being impaired by salt

5 Operation

5.1 Operating elements

Control units with mechanical and electrical transmission actuation are available. Electrical transmission actuation is
included as standard in the ZF 2000 series scope of delivery.
Actuation units must be constructed so that shift operations on the transmission are only possible when the engine is
idling. The safest way to achieve this is using a "single-lever control" where the engine throttle control and the trans-
mission actuation are coupled to each other. When using a "two-lever control", install a locking device in the transmis-
sion actuation unit which only allows shifting the transmission when the movement lever is in idle position.
The "single-lever control" must have an emergency shutoff option for transmission actuation to allow high engine
speeds for inspection or warm-up purposes without switching in the transmission.
The following transmission actuation variants are possible:

5.1.4 Mechanical transmission actuation

(for ZF 2000 series)

With mechanical transmission actuation, the control pis-

ton is moved axially through oil pressure via a mechani-
cally operated pilot valve.

(example)
d - Pilot valve for "Engine wise rotation" and
"Counter-engine wise rotation" shift positions
f - Control unit
g - Shift lever
The pilot valve is mounted on the top of the control unit.
The pilot valve has a lever for actuation. The shift position
is selected by moving the shift lever. The shift lever is ac-
tuated by a push/pull cable. The shift lever can be moved
40° on its own rotation axis.
The pivoting range must be limited by stops provided by
the customer. The central position between these stops
corresponds to the "Neutral" shift position. Each shift po-
sition has an internal latching position.
The following shift positions are possible (by looking onto
the shift lever):
Neutral: The shift lever is in the
latched central position.
Engine wise rotation: The shift lever is rotated
anticlockwise by approx.
20°.
Counter-engine wise rotation: The shift lever is rotated
clockwise by approx.
20°.

of the input direction. This oil pump ensures lubricating
oil supply to the transmission when the engine is off with
the output shaft rotating. This allows unlimited operation
with the engine off and the propeller rotating.

Special equipment / special versions

Switch transmission actuation to the "Neutral" shift

position for trailing operation with the engine off

ing to the specifications in Section 2.2.8 Monitoring val-
ues for ZF 2000/2150/2200/2300/W2300/W2400 series!

6.3 PTO=Power Take-Off

The power take-offs are used to drive pumps, hydraulic
systems for water jet applications or even generators. All
ZF 2000 series transmissions are available as special ver-
sions with power take-off (PTO). In general, power
take-offs cannot be switched but are permanently driven
by the transmission. This is practical for most pump
transmissions because the hydraulic system must be
ready to operate immediately after engine start-up.
The dimensions of the power take-offs are designed for
various output performances and the mounting dimen-
sions are standardized according to SAE standard (A, B,
B-B, C or C-C).
The power take-off is located on the input shaft or imple-
mented in a separate housing as top PTO according to
customer requirements and the maximum torque to be
picked up.

PTO on the input shaft

Basic transmission versions are fitted with a connection
facility for a power take-off on the input shaft. This makes
retrofitting with a PTO possible at any time.

The power take-off cannot be mounted to the

input shaft on V and U transmission versions!

Top PTO with separate housing

An additional housing is required when implementing the
power take-off via the constant gearing of the input shaft.
This housing is mounted on the top of the transmission
housing. The name Top PTO is derived from the top loca-
tion.

Top PTOs are fitted at the factory and cannot be

refitted!

7.1 Troubleshooting information

Malfunctions in the power plant frequently suggest a transmission defect even though, in many cases, the malfunc-
tions are caused by external influences on the transmission.
The minimum monitoring specified in Section 2.2 Technical data, 2.2.8 Monitoring values for ZF 2000/2150/2200/
2300/W2300/W2400 series is required for assessing operational safety of the transmission and must be installed.
Every basic transmission version has the measuring points for minimum monitoring.

Monitoring devices such as sensors, warning equipment, and display instruments are not supplied by
ZF Friedrichshafen AG as standard.
It is expressly pointed out that malfunction messages can only be displayed when the transmission uses the connec-
tion options.
The following Table of possible malfunctions shows the primary malfunctions, causes and corrective measures.

7.3.2 Leaking O-rings

An O-ring of the pipe plate is defective when leakage is

discovered between the receiver or cover and the hous-
ing. The type of the escaping medium shows at which
groove of the pipe plate the defect is located. For defects
on the water side, proceed as described in Chapter 8
Maintenance, Section Disassembling the transmission
oil cooler (without extracting the pipe bundle). For de-
fects on the oil side, proceed as described in Chapter 8
Maintenance, Section Disassembling the transmission
oil cooler (with extraction of the pipe bundle).

In this case, the pipe bundle need not be removed

completely from the housing.

Spare O-rings are available from the Customer

Service of ZF Friedrichshafen AG. Fit the O-ring as

8.2 Maintenance schedule

8.2.1 Maintenance schedule concept

The maintenance system for ZF ship transmissions is based on a preventive maintenance concept. Preventive mainte-
nance facilitates advance planning and secures high availability.
Time intervals, according to which maintenance work is to be carried out, as well as the scope of the inspection and
maintenance work described, are the average result of operational experience and therefore may only be regarded as
guidelines. Additional maintenance work and/or changes in the maintenance intervals may become necessary for
special application conditions as well as technical requirements.
Furthermore, it is practical to adapt the operational hours stated in the maintenance schedule to the corresponding
maintenance time of the engine when this does not considerably exceed the stated operational hours. This applies to
maintenance levels A4, A5 and K in particular.
The Maintenance Job Number stated in the Maintenance System Job Sheet identifies the respective maintenance po-
sition. It serves as reference for the tools needed and the scope of parts.

8.2.2 Maintenance work before taking out of operation/standstill

8.2.2.1 For closed cooling circuit

The cooler can remain filled when the cooling circuit is closed.

8.2.2.2 For open cooling circuit

The transmission oil cooler can remain filled when the plant standstill will only last for a short period of time
(< 2 weeks).
Drain the transmission oil cooler on the water side when the system is to be taken out of operation for a longer period
of time.

This is only necessary when the transmission oil cooler is not automatically drained when the cooling water
pump is idle.

Cooling system Standstill time Measures

Drain transmission oil cooler on the water side.

Open system/sea water > 2 weeks Additionally rinse with clean water.
If possible, dry pipe bundle from inside with compressed air.

8.3 Corrosion protection and conservation

Series transmissions supplied by ZF have corrosion protection according to Level I of "Guidelines for marine transmis-
sions on anticorrosion protection, packing type, storage conditions and storage periods".
Specify conservation measures for long-term storage in the transmission order.
Measures according to the guideline for conserving marine transmissions are binding when transmissions are stored
at ZF branches and ZF distributors. Conservation measures described in the guideline must be performed by person-
nel authorized by ZF otherwise the warranty is void!
Corrosion protection measures required for longer shutdown periods for a transmission installed on a ship are very de-
pendent on temperature variations, air humidity, and salt content of the air in the engine room. Therefore, the recom-
mended measures and time specifications may only be regarded as rough guidelines. In case of doubt, we
recommend performing the corrosion protection measures on the transmission analog to those for the engine.
Shutdown periods up to 3 months do not normally require corrosion protection measures.
We recommend performing corrosion protection measure K1 every 10 to 20 days when the shutdown period is less
than 6 months. An oil change according to maintenance level Z1 may be necessary prior to re-commissioning de-
pending on the condition of the lubricating oil in the transmission.
K2 is a conservation measure and should be performed when the operation period is finished before shutdown peri-
ods longer than 6 months. K2 can also be performed instead of K1 for shorter shutdown periods.
K3 is a long-term conservation measure and allows taking the installed transmission out of operation for a maximum
of 36 months. Conservation can also be performed according to K2 instead of K3. In this case, conservation has to be
repeated every 9 months.

Tab. 14: Corrosion protection measures for longer shutdown periods

K1 Corrosion protection
Start the engine and run at engine idle speed or slightly above for at least 5 minutes to ensure transmission lubrica-
tion. The transmission can be in the "Neutral" or "Counter-engine wise rotation" or "Engine wise rotation" shift posi-
tion. Repeat this process every 10 to 20 days. Test oil for condensate (emulsion) prior to re-commissioning. Make this
check immediately after switching off the engine; oil must not be milky.

K2 Conservation
When operation has completed, drain the transmission oil and fill with the anti-corrosive oil to at least the bottom
measuring mark of the oil dipstick (see maintenance work for implementation). Use anti-corrosive oil C 642 or C 644
according to MIL-L-21260.
Immediately afterwards, run the engine in the "Engine wise rotation" or "Counter-engine wise rotation" shift position at
increased engine idle speed (max. 50% of nominal operating speed) for approx. 5 to 10 minutes. Switch off the en-
gine. Protect outer steel parts against corrosion.
Run the engine for approx. 5 minutes to extend the conservation by another 9 months. Then drain the conserving oil
and fill the transmission with the oil type and volume specified for operation and then restart the engine and run for at
least 15 minutes. Operate the transmission clutches several times during this time. Then perform "K2 conservation".

EN 3100 758 101g - 2015-07 97

Maintenance

Commissioning after K2 conservation

Start the engine and run for approx. 5 minutes to mix any condensed water possibly accumulated in the transmission
with the anti-corrosive oil. Drain the anti-corrosive oil and fill the transmission with the specified oil type (see "Mainte-
nance job No. 141").

K3 Long-term conservation
When operation has completed, drain the transmission oil and fill with the anti-corrosive oil to at least the bottom
measuring mark of the oil dipstick (see maintenance work for implementation). Use anti-corrosive oil C 642 or C 644
according to MIL-L-21260.
Immediately afterwards, run the engine in the "Engine wise rotation" or "Counter-engine wise rotation" shift position at
increased engine idle speed (max. 50% of nominal operating speed) for approx. 5 to 10 minutes. Switch off the en-
gine. Then fill the transmission completely with the anti-corrosive oil. Protect outer steel parts against corrosion.
Commissioning after K3 long-term conservation
Drain the anti-corrosive oil off until reaching the normal oil level. Then run the engine for approx. 5 minutes. Then
drain the anti-corrosive oil off completely and fill the transmission with the specified oil type (see "Maintenance job
No. 141").

Maintenance

Engine-dependent oil pump (primary oil pump) Engine-dependent oil pump (primary oil pump)
Correct dimensioning in accordance with operating con-
ditions and correct installation of the gear pumps provide
structural conditions ensuring long and trouble-free oper-
ation. The pumps have low maintenance requirements
which, however, are indispensable for trouble-free opera-
tion because, according to experience, a high proportion
of the malfunctions and damage occurring are due to dirt
and insufficient maintenance.

Maintenance
Regular checks of all operating data such as filter con-
tamination degree, pressure, temperature, etc. can help
detect malfunctions at an early stage.

The oil pump is a complete part and is normally

not dismantled. However, inspection or cleaning
work might require dismantling the pump.

Measures for dismantling the oil pump

All work requires highest cleanness standards. Clean the
surrounding area before loosening screw connections.

 Depressurize connection lines before removal!
 Collect and dispose of leaking fluids so that all risks
for persons and environment are excluded. 1 2 3 4 5 9
 Seal pump connections and pipe lines against pene-

Guidelines in "Chapter Maintenance", "Section Corrosion protection and conservation" in the Operating Instruc-
tions of the corresponding transmission series apply to the period between first operation and entry into regular
operation and to shutdown periods.

EN 3100 758 101g - 2015-07 157

Annex

9.2 Guideline for conserving marine transmissions during storage at ZF branches and
intermediaries.

Conservation measures described below must be carried out by ZF-authorized personnel. Otherwise, warranty
claims shall be deemed null and void.
Series transmissions supplied by ZF have corrosion protection according to Level I of "Guidelines for marine transmis-
sions about anticorrosion protection, packing type, storage conditions and storage periods".
Storage conditions stipulated in these guidelines apply: Store in enclosed area at a steady temperature and low rela-
tive humidity.
Renew conservation after 12 months at the latest. Transmissions may then be stored for a further 12 months. Renew
conservation every 6 months when transmissions need to be stored for a further period.

9.2.1 Conservation procedure

1. Fill transmission with anti-corrosive oil up to the upper measuring mark of the oil dipstick. Use anti-corrosive oil
C 642 or C 644 according to MIL- L-21260.
2. Remove inspection cover.
3. Spray internal transmission components with anti-corrosive oil while rotating the input and output shafts.
4. Close inspection cover.
5. Repeat consevation on uncoated outer steel parts.

9.2.1.1 Renewing conservation

Remove the inspection cover, inspect internal transmission components and spray with anti-corrosive oil while rotat-
ing the input and output shafts. Renew conservation on uncoated outer steel parts.

9.2.1.2 Measures to be taken before delivering stored transmissions

Renew conservation and drain anti-corrosive oil before delivering the stored transmission. Inform the customer that
marine transmissions purchased through ZF agencies provide corrosion protection for a maximum of 12 months.

9.3 Corrosion protection and conservation for ZF transmissions installed in a ship

Corrosion protection measures required for a transmission installed in a ship for longer shutdown periods strongly de-
pend on temperature variations, air humidity, and salt content of the air in the engine room. Therefore, the recom-
mended measures and time indications may only be regarded as rough guidelines. In case of doubt, we recommend
performing the corrosion protection measures for the transmission analog to those for the engine.
Shutdown periods up to 3 months do not normally require corrosion protection measures.
If the transmission shutdown period is going to be longer than 3 months, perform conservation when possible imme-
diately after the ship is taken out of operation, but within 3 months at the latest, alternatively K1 or K2 conservation is
required depending on individual requirements. Flush and clean the cooler with fresh water during the initial corro-
sion protection measures on the transmission. Do not seal the drainage opening. If draining is not possible, flush with
fresh water and fill with 20% antifreeze solution.

K1 Conservation
 Storage time: 12 months.
 Then renew conservation every 6 months.

K2 long-term conservation
 Storage time: 36 months.
 Repeat every 36 months.

158 EN 3100 758 101g - 2015-07

Annex

9.3.1 K1 Conservation

1. At the end of operation, drain transmission oil and fill with anti-corrosive oil to at least the upper measuring mark
on the oil dipstick. Refer to Maintenance Jobs for implementation. Use anti-corrosive oil C 642 or C 644 accord-
ing to MIL- L-21260.
2. Immediately afterwards, run the engine in "Engine wise rotation" or "Counter-engine wise rotation" shift position
at increased engine idle speed (max. 50% of nominal operating speed) for approx. 5 to 10 minutes. Then switch
the engine off.
3. Spray or brush uncoated outer steel parts with corrosion preventative.
4. Grease protruding shaft sections.

9.3.1.1 Renewing conservation

Remove the inspection cover and inspect internal transmission components. While rotating the input and output
shafts (if possible), spray internal transmission components with corrosion preventative. Renew conservation on un-
coated outer steel parts.

9.3.1.2 Commissioning after K1 conservation

1. Start the engine and run for approx. 5 minutes to mix any condensed water possibly accumulated in the transmis-
sion with the corrosion preventative.
2. Drain corrosion preventative and fill transmission with the specified oil type (see "Maintenance Job 141").

9.3.2 K2 Long-term conservation

1. As soon as possible after operation, but at the latest after 3 months, drain transmission oil and fill with anti-corro-
sive oil to the lower measuring mark of the oil dipstick (see Maintenance Jobs for implementation). Use anti-cor-
rosive oil C 642 or C 644 according to MIL-L-21260.
2. Immediately afterwards, run the engine in "Engine wise rotation" or "Counter-engine wise rotation" shift position
at increased engine idle speed (max. 50% of nominal operating speed) for approx. 5 to 10 minutes. Then switch
the engine off.
3. Then fill the transmission completely with anti-corrosive oil.
4. Spray or brush uncoated outer steal parts with corrosion preventative.
5. Grease protruding shaft sections.

9.3.2.1 Commissioning after K2 long-term conservation

1. Drain anti-corrosive oil to normal oil level.

2. Then run the engine for approx. 5 minutes.
3. Then drain anti-corrosive oil completely and fill transmission with the specified oil type (see "Maintenance Job
141").
