Warning

•  Always wear protective eye wear when using an air compressor. Otherwise, dirt particles blown off by the air compressor could get into the eyes.

Service Cautions

Disassembly

1.  Clean the outside of the transaxle using steam or degreaser before disassembly.

2.  To prevent dust penetration into the transaxle, perform overhaul servicing in a dust free room.

3.  Clean the disassembled parts using degreaser and dry them using an air compressor.

4.  Clean the oil hole and hydraulic passage using an air compressor and verify that they are not covered.

5.  Always wear protective eye wear when using an air compressor.

6.  When disassembling a connecting part of a light-alloy part for the transaxle case, use a plastic hammer.

7.  Organize and store the disassembled parts and protect them from dirt.

8.  When using a vice, always secure the component using an aluminum plate to prevent component damage.

9.  Disassemble while verifying damage, cracks, deformation, scratches, and the assembly condition of each part.

Cleaning

1.  Thoroughly wash the exterior of the transaxle using steam or detergent oil before disassembly.

2.  Clean the removed parts using degreaser and dry them using an air compressor. Clean the oil hole and hydraulic passage using an air compressor.

Assembly

1.  Before assembly, verify that each part is clean and dried.

2.  Apply a sufficient amount of the specified oil (SAE 75W-80, API service GL-4) to moving parts and sliding surfaces when performing assembly.

3.  For parts such as gaskets, springs, or pins which are designated for replacement with every disassembly, always use a new part.

4.  Clean away the remaining silicone sealant before applying new silicone sealant.

5.  After applying the silicone gasket, install the transaxle case before the applied silicone sealant starts to harden, wait for 30 min or more, and then add oil.

6.  When using a vice, always secure the component using an aluminum plate to prevent component damage.
