GHS Blower
Normally, the GHS blower operates with no
mainte nance or cleaning. However, when mowing
grass that is dirty and damp
(especially certain
springtime mow ing conditions), a deposit of dirt
may accumulate inside the blower housing, caus-
ing wear and binding of the blower wheel. When
operating in these conditions,
inspect the blower
frequently for dirt buildup.
NOTE:
A visual clue of binding of the blower wheel
is the blower
blade tips are polished
from rubbing
on dirt.
When a dirt deposit is found, use a high pressure
washer or water spray to clean the inside of the
housing as follows:
DANGER
Before attempting to wash the blower,
stop the engine, remove the ignition key,
and disconnect the spark plug wires.
Wear goggles or face shield.
1. Disconnect blower from driveline by removing
(1) mower deck, (2) PTO Coupler [quick dis-
connect], (3) Engine Belt, and (4) PTO Drive
belt. These parts are removed to allow free
movement of the blower wheel.
IMPORTANT:
With the driveline disconnect-
ed, the blow er wheel
must spin freely.
Any
binding or drag ging of the wheel is an indica-
tion of dirt buildup. This
buildup must be
cleaned
to avoid abrasive wear of the blower
blades, ex cessive power loss and eventual
loss of blower performance (clogging).
2. Use a pressure washer or water spray, and
di rect the spray inside the blower housing
against the blower blades. Water pressure will
cause the blower wheel to begin to spin and
the com bination of spinning action and water
will effec tively wash the inside of the housing.
Spray may be directed against the blower
blades ver tically and horizontally to cause
rotation in both directions for thorough wash-
ing action.
Wash blower until the blower
wheel spins freely
in both directions.
3.
Reconnect the GHS Blower Driveline by re-
versing the removal procedure.
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.

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