CAUTION

tilt-up joint is rigid (locked).
8. Remove tilt bar and stow on carrier frame.
9. Move footrests to desired position.
Transaxle Housing
Keeping the housing on the transaxles clean and
free of obstruction is
essential to avoid overheat-
ing
the transaxle fluid and shortening transaxle
life. The housing should be checked
every 100
hours
and cleaned if necessary.
To clean the housing, use compressed air and/or a
pressure washer. Pay close attention to any oily
dirt buildup on the transaxle housings. This may
be the result of an oil leak. If an oil leak is noticed,
contact your local Walker dealer.

Transaxle Housing and Cooling Fins
IMPORTANT:
In case an oil leak develops on the
input shaft, the cooling fan blowing dusty air and oil
on the transaxle will
quickly
cover the housing and
pack the cooling fins 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.
