Transaxle Cooling Fins
Keeping the cooling ns on the transaxles clean and
free of obstruction is essential to avoid overheat-
ing the transmission uid and short ening transmis-
sion life. The cooling ns should be checked every
100 hours; and cleaned if neces sary.
To clean the ns, use compressed air and/or a pres-
sure washer. The cooling ns extend all the way
around the housing -- the ns underneath need to
be clean as well as the more visible ns above. Also,
pay close attention to the area under the drive pul-
ley.
IMPORTANT: In case an oil leak develops on the
input shaft, the cooling fan blowing dusty air and oil
on the transmission will quickly pack the cooling
ns with oily dirt. If this condition occurs, contact
your dealer immediately to avoid overheating and
dam aging the transaxles.
An additional procedure in maintaining transaxle
cooling is to inspect the cooling fans. Replace the
fan(s) if blades are missing or damaged.
