Transaxle Housing - Walker MBSY Operator's Manual

Maintenance Instructions

Transaxle Housing

Keeping the housing on the transaxles clean and
free of obstruction is essential to avoid overheat-
ing the transmission fluid and shortening transmis-
sion 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 transmission will quickly 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.
