Initial Flush

1. Turn the water valve on J 35944 to the "ON" position and allow the water to flow through the oil cooler and pipes for 10 seconds to remove any remaining transmission fluid. If water does not flow through the oil cooler and pipes, the cause of the blockage must be diagnosed and the plugged component must be repaired or replaced. Continue with the cooler flushing and flow check procedure once the blockage is corrected.

2. Turn the water valve on J 35944 to the "OFF" position and clip the discharge hose onto the five gallon pail with a lid.

3. Turn the water valve on J 35944 to the "ON" position and depress the trigger to mix cooler flushing solution into the water flow. Use the clip provided on the handle to hold the trigger down. The discharge will foam vigorously when the solution is introduced into the water stream.

4. Flush the oil cooler and pipes with water and solution for two minutes. During this flush, attach the air supply to the air valve located on J 35944 for 3 to 5 seconds at the end of every 15-20 second interval to create a surging action.

5. Release the trigger and turn the water valve on J 35944 to the "OFF" position.
