DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY
TRANSAXLE
Prior to removing any transaxle parts, plug all
openings and clean the unit, preferably with steam.
When disassembling, each part should be washed in
a suitable solvent, then dried with compressed air.
Do not wipe parts with shop towels. All mating sur-
faces in the transaxles are accurately machined;
therefore, careful handling of all parts must be exer-
cised to avoid nicks or burrs.
