MAINTENANCE

TRANSAXLES

Inattention to proper safety, operation, or maintenance procedures could result in personal injury, or damage to the equipment. Jacobsen recommends returning the machine to your authorized CGC, Inc. dealer for service or repair.

Perform transaxle maintenance with the engine off, spark plug wires disconnected and PTO disengaged.

TRANSAXLE FLUID CHANGE

Change the transaxle fluid every 200 hours of operation. It is essential that the exterior of the transaxle be free of debris, prior to fluid maintenance.

1.Remove the three 1/4" filter guard screws and filter guard A. Remove the oil filter B from the transaxle and discard. Dispose of used oil in ac- cordance with local requirements.

2.Wipe the filter base surface off and apply a film of new oil to the gasket of the new replacement filter. Install the new filter by hand, turn 3/4 to

one full turn after the filter gasket contacts the filter base surface.

3.Re-install the filter guard and torque the three screws to 65 in. Ibs. each.

4.Remove cap C, fill the transaxles through the expansion tank D with approximately 2 quarts of SAE 20W-50 engine oil PER TRANSAXLE.

Do not overfill! If you overfill the transaxle while the unit is "cold", it may overflow as it reaches normal operating temperatures. The oil level should not be above the manufacturer's suggestions. This will allow the space needed for the oil to expand as it warms up.

5.After starting engine, check the fluid level and continue to add oil to overflow tank D to fill line on tank.

6.Purge the transaxles, following the purging pro- cedures on Page 29.

127.28876, 127.28877 specifications

The Craftsman 127.28877 and 127.28876 are a pair of high-performance cordless drills designed for both professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts. These models exemplify the blend of power, versatility, and user-friendly design that Craftsman tools are known for.

One of the standout features of both models is their brushless motor technology. This innovation enhances efficiency, delivering more power and runtime than traditional brushed motors. It also reduces heat generation, leading to prolonged tool life. With a high-torque output, these drills can easily handle demanding applications, making them ideal for tasks such as drilling into wood, metal, and masonry.

Both models come equipped with a two-speed transmission. This feature allows users to select the optimal speed based on the specific task at hand—whether it’s high-speed drilling for smaller holes or low-speed drilling for driving larger fasteners. The variable speed trigger further provides enhanced control, enabling a precise and seamless drilling experience.

The design of the Craftsman 127.28877 and 127.28876 is ergonomic, featuring a soft-grip handle that minimizes hand fatigue during extended use. The compact and lightweight structure allows for easy maneuverability in tight spaces, making it suitable for various job sites.

Another notable characteristic is the LED work light integrated into the drills, providing illumination in dimly lit areas. This feature ensures that users can work effectively without needing to reposition other lighting sources.

Battery compatibility is another key advantage of these models. Both drills utilize the Craftsman 20V MAX battery platform, allowing users to interchange batteries between different tools within the same line. This feature not only enhances convenience but also maximizes productivity by reducing downtime due to battery changes.

Finally, the construction of the Craftsman drills includes rugged materials that resist wear and tear, assuring durability over years of use. With a combination of advanced technology, user-centered design, and robust performance, the Craftsman 127.28877 and 127.28876 are invaluable additions to any tool collection, providing reliability and efficiency for a range of projects.
