Back Flush
- Inspect the transmission oil cooler pipes for kinks or damage. Repair as necessary.
- Connect the transmission oil cooler and line flusher to the oil cooler feed bottom connector. Use the Cooler Flushing Adapter (J 35944-200), if required.
- Clip the discharge hose (5) onto the oil drain container. See Fig 1.
- Attach the transmission oil cooler and line flusher to the undercarriage of the vehicle with the hook provided and connect the flushing system feed supply hose (3) from the transmission oil cooler and line flusher to the top connector oil cooler return pipe. Use the cooler flushing adapter, if required.
- Turn the transmission oil cooler and line flusher water supply valve (1) to the ON position and allow 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.
- Turn the transmission oil cooler and line flusher water supply valve (1) to the OFF position and clip the discharge hose onto a 5 gallon pail with a lid, to avoid splashback.NOTE: 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.
- Turn the transmission oil cooler and line flusher water supply valve (1) to the ON position and depress the trigger (8) to mix cooler flushing solution into the water flow. Use the clip provided on the handle to hold the trigger (8) down. See Fig 2. The discharge will foam vigorously when the solution is introduced into the water stream.
- Flush the oil cooler and pipes with water and solution for 2 minutes. During this flush, attach the shop air supply 120 psi (825 kPa) to the flushing system feed air valve (2) located on the transmission oil cooler and line flusher, for 3-5 seconds at the end of every 15-20 second interval to create a surging action.
- Release the trigger (8) and turn the transmission oil cooler and line flusher water supply valve (1) to the OFF position.
