NOTE: This manual provides information about the installation of Cotta Transmissions.
Detailed overhaul, assembly, and repair information is not part of this manual. For
repair information, consult the applicable blueprint drawing. To request the latest
revision blueprint, call the Customer Service department at 608-368-5600.
Operation and maintenance personnel responsible for this equipment should have this
manual at their disposal and be familiar with its contents. Applying the information in
the manual will result in consistent performance from the unit and help reduce
downtime.
The gear units and/or parts are properly boxed when shipped from the factory. A
careful inspection should be made for in-transit damage when received. File all
claims with the carrier before accepting the shipment.
NOTIFY COTTA OF ANY DAMAGE TO THE GEARBOX UPON RECEIPT.
If the unit is to be stored or not used for a period of time exceeding (1) month, it
should be protected against corrosion. Coat all outside unpainted surfaces with a
rust inhibitor. Seal the gearbox from ambient air by plugging the breather and
covering any labyrinth seals with a protective film. If the unit is in storage, a
rust-inhibiting compound that is compatible with the lube oil should be applied to
all the internal components of the gearbox. The rust inhibitor can be applied
through a cover or inspection plate. If no plate is supplied, the unit can be
completely filled with lube oil. Note that the standard Cotta paint is not suitable
for storage outside or in corrosive environments.

Use of proper equipment, rigging techniques, and safety procedures relative to the
size and weight of the gearbox must be exercised in order to prevent personal
injury and product damage. Threaded holes or lifting tabs are provided for lifting.
These holes are for lifting the gearbox only. Select lifting eyebolts to obtain
maximum thread engagement without contacting the bottom of the hole.
4. INSTALLATION
The gear units are supplied with a method of mounting to a base. Some units have
feet with clearance holes for direct mounting. Other gearboxes have threaded
holes on the face or on the side to mount with supports of the customer’s design.
After the engine is mounted to the base, the gearbox is to be shimmed under the
supports for proper alignment using the following procedure.
4.1 Attach a dial indicator to the engine block with the stem resting on the
top of the engine flywheel housing.
4.2 Set indicator to zero.

4.3 Install the gearbox to the engine using enough shims to allow assembly.
4.4 Install mounting bolts to gearbox feet. Note any deflections on the
indicator, and shim as required to return the indicator to zero.

5. FLYWHEEL COUPLING
The gearbox may be equipped with several types of flywheel couplings including
overcenter clutches, torsional couplings, and drive plates. Some of these may have
pre-operational checks or initial adjustments that must be made. If anything other
than an overcenter clutch is used, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or contact
Cotta for instructions. Overcenter clutch information is included in the following.
5.1. Before operation, lubricate the throwout collar using the grease fitting
provided on the outside of the bell housing. Observe through the access hole in
the bell that the collar is sufficiently greased but not over greased. A bronze
collar should be re-lubed every 10 hours, a ball bearing collar should be re-
lubed every 100 hours with any high grade, lithium based, short fiber grease
approved for use with anti-friction bearings with operating temperatures of
200 degrees F (NLGI #2 grease).
5.2. The clutch remains in or out of engagement until changed by the operator.
Engagement should progress from “release” to “on center” to slightly “over
center” where the clutch locks firmly. Disengagement is positive, using a toggle

arrangement. A new clutch may require several adjustments until the friction
material is worn in. If the clutch will not pull the load or heats excessively, it
may need adjustment.
5.3. To adjust a Twin Disc clutch, remove the hand hole cover on the bell housing
and rotate clutch until adjustment lock pin can be reached. Disengage the lock
pin and turn the adjusting yoke or ring to the right, or clockwise, until the
operating lever requires the correct force to engage. Force required for
various clutches are listed below. The length dimension given is the distance in
inches from the hand lever cross shaft centerline to the area on the hand lever
to place a spring scale. Maximum and minimum values in pounds are given for
measuring the spring force. If the gearbox is equipped with any other
manufacturer's clutch, see the manufacturer’s instructions.

6. LUBRICATION
The gearbox is shipped from the factory empty except some residual oil from
testing and must be filled to the proper level with lubricant specified on the
nameplate. Cotta technical bulletin TB97-101 (Lubrication of Cotta Transmissions)
lists recommended oil viscosities. In addition, the nameplate lists the
recommended oil viscosity based upon the ambient temperature in which the
gearbox will be operated. The 80VX1023 and 80VX1048 nameplates are not
superceded by TB97-101. In these cases, the oil viscosity is listed on the
nameplate.
Fill the gearbox to the proper level as indicated by sight glass, dipstick, or level
plug, and run the gearbox for 5 minutes. (This will ensure that all of the hoses and
manifolds are full.) Check the oil level in the box, and add any additional oil
needed to achieve the proper oil level. (AVOID ANY CONTAMINATION OF
THE OIL WHEN FILLING THE GEARBOX) A good grade of clean hose or pipe
should be used if user is supplying any plumbing.

7. LUBRICATION PUMP
Some gearboxes are supplied with lube pumps. A variety of different pumps are
supplied depending on the requirements of the gearbox. If removing the pump for
service, note the orientation of the pump inlet and outlet ports relative to the
shaft centerline. Improper orientation will result in the suction and pressure
ports to be reversed, which can cause damage to the gearbox.
8. HEAT EXCHANGER
A heat exchanger is used on some gearboxes to keep the lube oil temperature
within the operating range. If the lube system includes a heat exchanger, the
customer is to furnish an adequate coolant supply at the proper temperature. In
some areas, raw water is extremely corrosive and should be treated to prevent
damage to the heat exchanger. Treating the water will also increase the time
interval between cleanings of the heat exchanger. It is the users responsibility to
insure that the coolant is compatible with the heat exchanger.
9. FILTER
An oil filter will be supplied with a gearbox if the lube system requires the
filtration of larger particles from the oil. Replace the filter element when the
pressure drop through filter is greater than the bypass pressure. Read bypass
pressure when oil is at normal operating temperature. When element replacement
is required, do not substitute a different filtration level without written approval
from Cotta.
10. ELECTRICAL
Some gearboxes may be supplied with an interlock switch to protect the unit from
damage caused by a pressure lube system failure or improper cooling. The switch
may be wired by the user to shut off the rotating equipment, operate a warning
light, or sound an alarm.
11. START UP
Prior to starting the gearbox, make sure that the oil level is correct. Some
gearboxes with a pressurized lube oil system will be supplied with a lube manifold.
The pressure at the manifold is set at the factory, but should be checked and
adjusted at the relief valve by the user if necessary. The pressure should only be
checked after the gearbox has reached the normal operating temperature.
If starting the gearbox below 50 degrees F., Cotta recommends the gearbox be
run with no load or a slight load until the lube oil temp has reached 90 degrees F.
If this is not possible, oil sump heaters may be required.
After 100 hours or 3 months of operation, whichever occurs first, the oil should
be drained, the case flushed with a fluid that is compatible with the gearbox oil,
and the case refilled with clean oil of the proper specification. After the first oil
change, the oil should be changed every 2500 hours or 6 months, whichever occurs
first. (UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED ON THE NAMEPLATE.) When operating
in a severe environment(i.e. moist, dusty, outdoors, or in a hazardous environment)
more frequent oil changes may be necessary.
Safe operating practices should be employed by all personnel servicing this unit.
Cotta will not be responsible for personal injury resulting from careless use of
tools, lifting equipment, or unaccepted maintenance/working practices. Because of
possible danger to person(s) or property from accidents which may result from
