LIST OF WARNINGS
This manual contains the following Warnings —
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THEM.
To help avoid injury or property damage caused by sudden and unexpected vehicle movement, do
not start a stationary stall test until you:
• Put the transmission in P (Park) or N (Neutral)…and
• Apply the parking brake and service brake…and
• Chock the vehicle wheels and take any other steps necessary to keep the vehicle from
moving…and
• Warn personnel to keep clear of the vehicle and its path.
Use appropriate safety equipment such as safety glasses, safety shoes, and gloves.
Do not burn discarded Teflon
®
seals; toxic gases are produced by burning Teflon
®
.
Never dry bearings by spinning them with compressed air. A spinning bearing can disintegrate,
allowing balls or rollers to become lethal flying projectiles. Also, spinning a bearing without
lubrication can damage the bearing.
Avoid contact with the hot fluid or the sump when draining transmission fluid. Direct contact with
the hot fluid or the hot sump may result in bodily injury.
Chock wheels to prevent vehicle from moving when driveline is disconnected. This is not necessary
if vehicle is on a lift or jackstands.
Be sure the torque converter is moving rearward with the transmission as it is removed. Do not
allow the torque converter to become disengaged from the oil pump or to fall and injure yourself
or others.
The torque converter must be held to the torque converter housing by a retaining device such as
shipping brackets. Without the retaining device, the torque converter may slide forward,
disengaging the oil pump, or may fall completely out of the transmission causing personal injury
and/or property damage.
The 1000 and 2000 Product Families transmission dry weights are approximately 150 kg (330 lb).
To help avoid personal injury and/or property damage:
• Use caution when installing, removing, or moving the transmission.
• Get help when lifting the transmission. Assistance from a hoist or another person may be
required.
• Make sure that the lifting equipment can properly support the transmission.
If the transmission is not secured properly to the adapter plate, it could fall. To help avoid personal
injury and/or property damage:
• Use at least 5 bolts to support the transmission.
• Use M10 x 1.5 bolts with 19–25 mm (
3
⁄4
–1 inch) thread engagement. If the proper bolt is not
used, the PTO bolt holes may be damaged.
