Back Flush
- Connect the SA9165T to the oil cooler feed line. See Special Tools . Use the DT-48312 . See Special Tools .
- Clip the discharge hose (2) onto the oil drain container.
- Attach the SA9165T to the undercarriage of the vehicle with the hook provided and connect the flushing system feed supply hose (1) from the SA9165T to the oil cooler return line. See Special Tools . Use the DT-48312 . See Special Tools .
- Turn the SA9165T water supply valve (3) to the ON position and allow water to flow through the oil cooler and lines for 10 seconds to remove any remaining transaxle fluid. See Special Tools . If water does not flow through the oil cooler and lines, 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.
- Turn the SA9165T water supply valve (3) to the OFF position and clip the discharge hose onto a 19 liter (5 gallon) pail with a lid, to avoid splashback. See Special Tools .
- Turn the SA9165T water supply valve (3) to the ON position and depress the trigger (1) to mix cooler flushing solution into the water flow. See Special Tools . Use the clip provided on the handle to hold the trigger (1) down. The discharge will foam vigorously when the solution is introduced into the water stream.
- Flush the oil cooler and lines with water and solution for 2 minutes. During this flush, attach the shop air supply 550-700 kPa (80-100 psi) to the flushing system feed air valve (2) located on the SA9165T , for 3-5 seconds at the end of every 15-20 second interval to create a surging action. See Special Tools .
- Release the trigger (1) and turn the SA9165T water supply valve (3) to the OFF position. See Special Tools .
IMPORTANT:
Inspect the transaxle oil cooler lines for kinks or damage. Repair as necessary.
IMPORTANT:
Flushing for approximately 2 minutes in each cooler line direction will result in a total of about 8-10 gallons of waste fluid. This mixture of water and flushing fluid is to be captured in a bucket or similar container.
