Abstract
Let M be the exterior of a hyperbolic link K ∪ L in a homology 3-sphere Y, such that the linking number lk(K, L) is non-zero. In this note we prove that if γ is a slope in ∥N(L) such that the manifold ML(γ) obtained by γ-Dehn filling along ∥ N(L) contains a Klein bottle, then there is a bound on Δ (µ, γ), depending on the genus of K and on lk(K, L).
Keywords: Dehn filling, essential surface, Klein bottle, Scharlemann cycle
1. Introduction

3. Preparatory Lemmas
As in Section 1, let

The following Lemma can be proved by using [Lemma 2.1, 5]. However for convenience of the readers we give a proof here.
By hypothesis the graph
Now by Hayashi-Motegi's inequality [Theorem 2.1, 3], applied to the two graphs obtained from
Hence, the proof is completed.
4. Proof of Theorem 1.1
By Lemma 3.4,
Without loss of generality, we assume that
Now let
Now, let
We divide in two cases depending upon whether a diagonal edge

As in Case 1, if two adjacent
By the previous lemma,
Since
Now by Lemma 3.3, we get
Hence, the proof of Theorem 1.1 is completed.
