Over exposure can have harmful effect on eyes, skin, respiratory system and possible unconsciousness and asphyxiation. Improperly blocked vehicles can move.
TransTech III Auto-Prime Procedure (For first time set-up only) Set-Up Instructions: 1. Check the output/return hoses, battery connections, and all external components for damage. 2. Fill the CLEAN FLUID tank with approximately 6 quarts (5.7 liters) of new ATF. 3. Connect two compatible adapters to each other, secure tightly. Attach the CLEAN FLUID & INLINE RETURN hoses together using the connected adapters. Ensure that both hoses have no kinks or visual damage. 4.
Transmission Service Procedure Follow the steps below to connect the unit to the vehicle’s transmission cooler lines. Make sure the vehicle has at least 1/8 tank of fuel before beginning this process. IMPORTANT Do not perform the transmission service if the vehicle’s engine oil or coolant level is low. If necessary, add motor oil and/or coolant. Do not perform service if new transmission fluid is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Transmission Service Procedure (Cont’d) 3. Locate and disconnect the cooler line at the easiest connection point and install adapters: a) At cooler line connection to radiator. Connection is usually accessible from the top corner of the radiator (could be on either top side). b) At clamped rubber hose connection to transmission cooler (connections are usually accessible from the under side of the vehicle (cooler is usually in front of radiator). c) At cooler line connecting to the transmission. 4.
Transmission Service Procedure (Cont’d) 8. With the vehicle’s engine still running, the ENGINE START light should be ON solid. The PRESSURE GAUGE will be reading the amount of pressure coming from the vehicle. Check the transmission fluid level. Feel the hoses for heat. Heat in both hoses will verify good bypass flow from vehicle, through the unit and back to vehicle. Transmission fluid will automatically circulate in bypass mode until service is begun. Press the CHANGE FLUID button.
Transmission Service Procedure (Cont’d) Optional Transmission Filter Change:Pan Drop Style Service Procedure. If the vehicle’s transmission pan filter is to be replaced, perform the following steps. a) Follow steps 1 thru 7 then press the DRAIN button on the unit’s control panel. Let the engine run until the unit’s alarm sounds and the LOW VEHICLE FLUID and ENGINE STOP and ENGINE START lights are flashing.
Frequently Asked Questions 1. How is the CLEAN FLUID tank completely emptied in order to change fluid type? The TransTech III clean tank can be completely emptied.
