Do not allow dirt, water, or other debris to
enter the expansion chamber or
transmission. Even a small amount of dirt
can damage the transmission
The hydraulic system is powered by the hydrostatic
transmission charge pump, and subsequently shares oil
with the transmission. It is for this reason that great care
must be taken when adding or replacing hydraulic
system parts to prevent contaminants from entering the
transmission.
