Radiator (In Tank Oil Cooler) Installation Note

1. The automatic transaxle oil cooler flushing must be performed whenever a transaxle is removed for service

because the existing fluid may be contaminated, and to prevent contamination of new fluid.

Note

• Flushing must be performed after installation of an overhauled or replaced transaxle.

2. Follow the instructions in the manufacturer’s publication for flushing operation.

Oil Pipe, Hose Clamp, Oil Hose Installation Note

1. Apply compressed air to the cooler-side opening,

and blow any remaining grime and foreign
material from the cooler pipes. Compressed air
should be applied for no less than 1 min.

2. Align the marks, and slide the oil hose onto the oil

pipe until it is fully seated as shown in the figure.

Note

• If reusing the hose, install the new hose

clamp exactly on the mark left by the
previous hose camp.

3. Install the new hose clamp onto the hose.
