2.1 Maintaining the documentation

This documentation belongs to the gearbox.
Please maintain the documentation for the entire service life of the gearbox.
Please pass on the complete documentation to any later owner or user.
2.2 Preconditions of warranty
REINTJES will only accept warranty claims when:
• You install, operate, monitor and maintain the gearbox in accordance with our instructions.
• Only the types of oil listed in the lubricant table are used.
• You comply with the performance ratings and labelling stamped on the type plate.
No modifications may be made to the gearbox unless they have been approved by REINTJES.
REINTJES, as supplier of one of the components of the complete propulsion system, will not
assume responsibility for any problems with vibration resulting from the system as a whole.
REINTJES will not therefore assume any liability for complaints or damage resulting from this
type of vibration.
REINTJES strongly recommends that you have a torsional vibration calculation

performed for the entire system.
In any case, a whirling calculation must be done for any shaftlines connected to
the input or output shafts. We additionally recommend having an axial vibration
calculation done for propeller shaftlines. Torsional, axial and whirling can mutually
excite each another. In order to preclude this possibility, the results of the whirling
calculation, axial vibration calculation and torsional vibration calculation should be
compared with each other in order to rule out that any of the vibration types have the
same natural frequencies.

E - BV2484 - Version 1.0 / 30.06.2017
AF 2375
4.3 Preservation
4.3.1 General information

Initial preservation is done at REINTJES as specified in agreements by contract.
After a run on the test stand, the gearbox is preserved as specified in the order.
Spare parts or loose parts supplied with the shipment are treated using the preservation
procedures stipulated in the contract.
Preservation for dispatch is designed for a limited period of time and for certain storage
conditions.
The scope and effectiveness of these preservation procedures depend on:
• Conditions of storage
• Duration of storage
• Packaging
• Individual customer wishes
4.3.2 Initial preservation

During the factory bench test, the gearbox is run with a corrosion protection oil to preserve it.
In addition, following the bench test, the gearbox is filled with a VCI preservation oil (VCI = volatile
corrosion inhibitor).
Volatile corrosion inhibitors are agents that evaporate very slowly and deposit themselves on
the unpainted metal surfaces within the closed gearbox. Due to their polarity, they interrupt
electrochemical reactions resulting in corrosion.
In order to ensure that these volatile corrosion inhibitors retain their effectiveness for as long
as possible, all of the gearbox openings are closed. The shafts are sealed using an acid-free
grease.
Externally exposed, unpainted metal parts are protected using a wax-like preservation
substance. When stipulated in the order, the gearbox is additionally protected against
corrosion by means of moisture-proof packaging or special marine packaging.
4.3.3 Measures against corrosion during storage
General information
The following assumes that the storage conditions described in chapter 4.2 are followed.
Here we can merely describe general measures against corrosion.
If you are not certain whether protection is adequate for your particular case of application,
please consult with REINTJES about the necessary measures.
E - BV2484 - Version 1.0 / 30.06.2017
AF 2375
As a result of damage to packaging, water and harmful environmental influences can have a
direct effect on the gearbox. Excessive moisture can penetrate the inner space of the gearbox
as a result of variations in temperature.
 Immediately upon receipt of the gearbox, check the packaging for any transport damage.
 Regularly check the outside packaging.
Table 1: Inspection intervals for corrosion protection of the gearbox
Inspection intervals:
European climate zone every 4 weeks
Tropical climate zone every 2 weeks
 Inform REINTJES customer service immediately of any corrosion damage discovered

during inspection.
Immediately perform the following measures in the event of damage to packaging:
 Dry off any pools of water collecting on the gearbox as a result of rain or condensation.
 Check the drying agent provided with the shipment.
Replace the drying agent if its colour changes from white to blue.
 Check preservation at shaft ends.
Repair the seal, if necessary, using acid-free grease.
 Repair the damaged packaging.
-or better-
 Replace the damaged film along with the drying agent.
Use only film of the same quality.
Remove the packaging when:
• The gearbox is brought on board the vessel to be installed

• The stipulated duration of storage is exceeded by more than 20%.
In this case, consult with REINTJES to decide on further protective measures.
!
Immediately after removing the original packaging, additional preservation measures
will be necessary for ensuring that the gearbox is adequately protected against
corrosion.
E - BV2484 - Version 1.0 / 30.06.2017
AF 2375
Measures after removing the packaging:
 Protect the gearbox as well as possible against water and harmful environmental effects.
For instance, when covering the gearbox with tarpaulins, leave some space between them
and the gearbox. They should not act as a vapour seal!
 Regularly inspect the gearbox for external corrosion damage.

During inspection, check to ensure that shaft ends are preserved and sealed.
Repair the seal using acid-free grease. (Refer to table 1 on page 23 for inspection intervals)
 Regularly refill the gearbox with Branorol preservation oil.

After removing the packaging, initial refilling should be done after half of storage duration,
as stipulated in the contract, has passed.
Initial refilling should, however, be done no later than 12 weeks (European climate zone)
or 8 weeks (tropical climate zone) afterwards.
Table 2: Intervals for refilling VCI preservation oil

Intervals for refilling VCI preservation oil: Volume of preservation oil to be filled:
European climate zone every 12 weeks 1% of the operating oil volume, at least 1 litre
Tropical climate zone every 8 weeks 1% of the operating oil volume, at least 1 litre
You will find the operating oil volume on the type plate.
 Please observe section "Opening the gearbox" on page 25 in this regard!
For unpacked gearboxes, apply the measures mentioned above even if the stipulated storage
duration has expired.
E - BV2484 - Version 1.0 / 30.06.2017
AF 2375
Opening the gearbox

The agents of the VCI preservation oil escape when the gearbox is opened.
Measures after opening the gearbox
 Refill the gearbox with Branorol preservation oil. (Refer to table 2 on page 24 for volume)
 IMPORTANT: Afterwards, close the gearbox air-tight.
A protective inhibitor atmosphere may not be able to form again after reclosing.
This depends on:
• The concentration of VCI agents

• The amount of moisture that has entered
• How well the gearbox is resealed afterwards
4.3.4 Measures against corrosion after putting the gearbox into operation
Long interruptions in operation

If the operation of the vessel or gearbox is to be interrupted for several weeks, measures are
required to protect the gearbox against corrosion.
Corrosion damage to the gearbox cannot be ruled if these measures are not followed. The type
and scope of measure that need to be performed depend on the options available at the
particular location. Variants A, B and C, described in the following, are equally as important.
Table 3:
Measures to protect against corrosion are required
after an interruption in operation of longer than
European climate zone: 4 weeks
Tropical climate zone: 2 weeks
Perform one of these protective measures once the period mentioned above has passed:
Variant A : Flush with operating oil
 Flush the gearbox for 15 minutes using the mechanical gearbox oil pump by starting the
engine.
-or-
 using the electrical stand-by pump, if available.
 Replace the venting filter using the screw plug
 Repeat flushing weekly
E - BV2484 - Version 1.0 / 30.06.2017
AF 2375
Variant B : Flush with anticorrosive oil
 Drain the operating oil
 Fill with anticorrosive oil. Volume: approx. 0.8 x operating oil volume
 Flush the gearbox for 15 minutes using the mechanical gearbox oil pump by starting the
engine.
-or-
 using the electrical stand-by pump, if available.
 Replace the venting filter using the screw plug.
 Repeat flushing after no later than 12 weeks (Europe) or 8 weeks (tropics)
 Seal the shafts using an acid-free grease.
Variant C : Fill the gearbox with Branorol VCI preservation oil
 Drain the operating oil

 Fill with Branorol VCI preservation oil. Volume and further service intervals: see table 2 on
page 24
 Replace the venting filter using the screw plug.
 Seal the shafts using an acid-free grease.
Note: Residual amounts of operating oil may remain in the gearbox after draining. This will not
reduce the effectiveness of the measures against corrosion. On the other hand, when putting
the gearbox back into operation, small residual quantities of anticorrosive oil may be mixed
with operating oil.

Oil manometer and supervision
An oil pressure manometer is mounted on the gearbox

for monitoring oil pressure. This manometer indicates the
operating pressure.
Operating pressure is checked with the engine running at
nominal speed and the gearbox at operating temperature.
With the engine running at nominal speed the operating

pressure is approx. 5-8 bar (21-25 bar for gearboxes with
controllable PTO).
The supervision system continuously measures current values

of operating characteristics such as temperature, pressure,
speed (optionnally) and oil level (optionnally). If any parameter
defined in the supervision plan is exceeded (e.g. temperature)
or not attained (e.g. pressure) an alarm is given in the form of
an electrical signal.

2.3.2 Filling the oil filter

During the setup the Oil filter must be filled with oil.
!
A non-filled filter housing creates a pressure loss in the hydraulic system when
changing on the other filter side.
This pressure loss can lead that the diesel engine is shut down by the pressure
switch "oil pressure to low, motor stop".
After switching on, with running gearbox:
 Wait approx. 30 sec until the first filter side is filled with oil.
 Switch to the second filter side with the lever. Leave this side also switched
on approx. 30 sec. until the complete filter is filled with oil.
These steps must be repeated after every filter change!!
The filter bell can also be manual filled with oil during the filter change.

The heat exchanger has been equipped with three anodes (A292) to protect the water manifold and tube
bundle from corrosion: water intake, reverse cover and water outlet.
The amount of wear to the anodes depends on operating conditions.

Low water quality and high water temperatures are the main causes of wear to the anodes.
Conditions of installation and operating periods also influence wear.
Shut down the propulsion system and the water pump!

Drain the water side of the heat exchanger. To do this, loosen the water flange.
(Caution, hot water!)
Unscrew anodes A292 with the aid of open-end wrench SW 19.
Exchange anodes A292 once they are worn down to 60 % of their original volume.
 Screw in the new or still serviceable anodes together with a new copper or Anode with copper sealing ring
aluminium sealing ring .
 Using an open-end wrench, tighten the anode as much as possible by hand.
 In the maintenance log, record the date of the first anode exchange and each A292
one thereafter.

We recommend performing a monthly check during the first six months.

 Based on the amount of wear to the anodes, determine future inspection and
exchange intervals.
Repeat this job at least every six months or every time the heat exchanger 83 mm
is cleaned.
