Disassembly Precautions

PRECAUTION
1. Clean the transaxle exterior thoroughly with a steam cleaner or cleaning solvent before disassembly.
2. Clean the removed parts (except sealed bearings) and all sealing surfaces with cleaning solvent, and dry with compressed air. Clean out all holes and passages with compressed air, and check that there are no obstructions.

CAUTION: Wear eye protection when using compressed air to clean components.
