Important: Some service parts may have a rust preventative coating on them. This coating
must be removed prior to installing the part into the transaxle. All parts should
be used immediately after cleaning. Do not let parts sit for more than six hours once
the rust protection is removed.
The following steps should be followed to remove rust protection prior to part
installation:
| • | Remove the part from the packaging. |
| • | Using solvent cleaner and a stiff brush, scrub all areas of the part under
a constant flow of solvent or submerged in solvent. |
| | Important: When using solvent parts cleaner, review all safety procedures recommended by
your supplier, state and local agencies.
|
| • | Fully flush all internal oil passages with a constant flow of solvent. |
| • | Wipe the part dry with a clean, lint free towel, and install the part
within 6 hours of removing the rust protection. |
