CHECKING/SERVICING

Transaxle Housing

Keeping the housing on the transaxles clean and free of obstruction is essential to avoid overheat- ing the transmission fluid and shortening transmis- sion life. The housing should be checked every 100 hours; and cleaned if necessary.

To clean the housing, use compressed air and/or a pressure washer. Pay close attention to any oily dirt build up on the transaxle housings. This may be the result of an oil leak. If an oil leak is noticed, contact your local Walker dealer.

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, contact your dealer immediately to avoid overheating and damaging­ the transaxle.

An additional procedure in maintaining transaxle cooling is to inspect the cooling fans. Replace the fan(s) if blades are missing or damaged.

CHECKING/SERVICING

DANGER

To prevent accidental starting of the en­ gine when servicing or adjusting the ma­ chine, remove the key from the ignition switch and disconnect the spark plug wire.

Security of Air Filtration Components

NOTE: The following inspection is only an exter­nal inspection and should be done without “dis­ turbing” the filtration components.

On a daily basis, visually inspect the external condi­ tion of the complete air cleaner system. The follow­ ing items should be inspected:

1.Check the Donaldson Radialseal™ air cleaner canister for damage. Make sure the cover is in place and the cover latches are secure - do not run the engine without the air cleaner cover in place and secure.

2.Inspect the air intake hose for cracks, nicks, cuts, etc., and check the hose clamps for tight­ ness.

Battery

NOTE: For initial battery service during setup, refer­ to Battery Service in Assembly Instructions.

IMPORTANT: Make sure battery is securely mount­ ed in the frame. A loose battery may cause damage to the case resulting in acid leakage and severe dam­ age to the machine. A hazard may be created by damage to critical working parts and safety systems.

Electrolyte Level

The battery electrolyte level should be checked af­ ter every 25 hours of operation. To check electro­ lyte level:

1.Remove battery cell filler caps.

2.Check the electrolyte level. If the level is below the bottom of the vent well, fill with drinking wa­ ter to the bottom of the vent wells [1/4 to 1/2 in.

(6 to 13 mm) above the plates].
