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
build up on the transaxle housings. This may be the
result of an oil leak. If an oil leak is noticed, contact
your local Walker dealer.

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 transaxle.
An additional procedure in maintaining transaxle
cooling is to inspect the cooling fans. Replace the
fan(s) if blades are missing or damaged.
