2.Use a pressure washer or water spray, and direct the spray inside the blower housing against the blower blades. Water pressure will cause the blower wheel to begin to spin, and the combination of spinning action and water will effectively wash the inside of the housing. Spray may be directed against the blower blades ver- tically and horizontally to cause rotation in both directions for thorough washing action. Wash blower until the blower wheel spins freely in both directions.

Hydrostatic Transmission Cooling Fins
Keeping the cooling fins on the hydrostatic transmissions clean and free of obstruction is essential to avoid overheating the transmission fluid and shortening transmission life. The cooling fins should be checked every 100 hours; and cleaned if necessary.
To clean the fins, use compressed air and/or a pressure washer. The cooling fins extend all the way around the housing
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, replace the seal immediately to avoid overheating and damaging the transmission. The input shaft assembly and seal are easily replaced without removing the transmission from the machine.
An additional procedure in maintaining transmission cooling is to inspect the cooling fans. Replace the fan(s) if blades are missing or damaged.
