Valve Body: Assembly: Assembly

Clean all valve body components with a suitable solvent and blow them dry with regulated 345 kPa (50 psi) compressed shop air. Inspect all valves, pistons, accumulators, and there bores for damage. If any of the surfaces are scored or show evidence of damage, the valve body must be replaced. As the valve body is assembled, lubricate each component with specified transaxle fluid as they are installed. Refer to SPECIFICATIONS .
