MODEL C-195-OWI
TORQUE CONVERTER
GAUGES
The temperature and pressure gauges give the first indication of trouble and it is important that
these gauges be kept operative at all times. If at any time there is reason to suspect the accuracy
of a gauge it should be replaced immediately. THE TORQUE CONVERTER SHOULD
NEVER BE OPERATED WHEN THE GAUGES ARE IN THE RED SECTION DURING
NORMAL OPERATION. The pressure gauge may operate in the red section at low engine
speeds (under 500 rpm) without danger.
TEMPERATURE
The normal operating range for this torque converter is in the vicinity of 200
o
F and will vary
with ambient temperature and the type of operation. It should never exceed 240
o
F but can be
safely operated up to this point
OIL PRESSURE
The oil pressure will vary with load. At no load, it may run as high as 50 psi and will hold
between 15 and 20 psi in the working range. The oil pressure should never go under 10 psi. If
this occurs see “Low Pressure” section on page 6 for trouble shooting procedures.
EXTENDED SHUTDOWN
If the torque converter is to be shut down for a long period of time, it should be drained and
thoroughly flushed. The filters should be cleaned and the sump filled with a rust-inhibiting oil.
A running-in period will thoroughly mix and circulate the rust-inhibitor to provide a protective
coating to the internal working parts. Drain the torque converter and seal off all openings to
prevent the entrance of dust or any foreign material.
