Transaxle Cooler Backflushing/Cleaning

1. Conduct backflushing with Torque Converter Cleaner 014-00028 or equivalent. Test the equipment to make sure that a vigorous fluid flow is present before proceeding. Replace the system filter if flow is weak or contaminated.
2. To aid in connecting the cleaner to the transaxle steel cooler lines, connect two additional rubber hoses to the transaxle end of the steel transaxle cooler lines:
- Connect the cleaner tank pressure line to the steel transaxle cooler return line (longest line).
- Connect a tank return hose to the steel transaxle cooler pressure line (shorter line). Place the outlet end of this hose in the solvent tank reservoir.

3. Turn on the solvent pump and allow the solvent to circulate a minimum of five minutes (cycling the switch on and off will help dislodge contaminants in the cooler system).
4. Switch off the solvent pump and disconnect the solvent pressure hose from the transaxle cooler return line.
5. Use compressed air to blow out the cooler(s) and lines (blow air into the transaxle cooler return line) until all solvent is removed.
6. Remove the rubber return hose from the remaining steel cooling line.
