Replacing Bellows or Adding Oil
The following step by step procedure MUST be followed
exactly if a proper repair is to be done.
1. Before assuming the transaxle has an internal
problem causing low power or slow speed, it is
critical to check the belt system. Many problems
of this nature are in fact a glazed or worn belt, a
damaged pulley or a tension problem requiring
service.
2. Before adding oil, it is critical to determine if it is low.
This is done by using a blunt instrument as shown.
The depth should be 3-1/4 to 3-1/2 inches (8.25-8.9
cm)
3. If the measurement is beyond the dimensions
listed, the next step is to remove the transaxle from
the frame. Then thoroughly wash and blow dry the
bellows cover area as shown. Remove all impurities
before removing the bellows cover.
Any impurities allowed into the unit
can cause un-repairable damage.
4. Turn the unit so that the bellows chamber faces up
as shown. Remove the bellows cover screws using
Tecumseh tool part #670332 torx bit. Then add oil
part #730228A until the amount present measures
1-29/32 inch (48.41 mm) from the top edge of the
bellows housing.
