7.4. Transaxle Mounting
Removal/Installation
General Procedures
Transaxle Mounting Parts ........................................ .................................. F-330
Transaxle Removal ........................................ ............................................ F-331
Transaxle Installation ........................................ ......................................... F-337
This section outlines general procedures for removal and
installation of the transaxle.
All tools and lifting equipment must
be in good condition, meet the load
capacity
requirements
and
have
OSHA labels when required. Tools
with
defects
can
have
failures
causing severe injury or death.
The transaxles are mounted in the
truck chassis similarly with one-piece
mounting brackets which are a part
of the transaxle assembly.
•
Disconnect the battery and remove all
jewelry
before
working
on
any
electrical system. Severe burns can
result from contact with electrical
systems.
•
If the upright and transaxle are
removed,
the
truck
will
tip
backwards off
any
blocking
under the frame. The back of
the truck must be supported by
blocking under the steer axle to
prevent movement.
•
The reverse is also true. If the
counterweight is removed while
the truck is up on blocks, the
weight of the upright and
transaxle will cause the truck to
tip on the front blocks and fall
forward.
-
Removing
counterweight
from
blocked-up truck: Truck will tip
forward.
-
Removing
upright/transaxle
from
blocked-up truck: Truck will tip
backwards.
NOTE
To perform these service procedures,
it is recommended that you first:
•
Park truck on a hard, level and
solid
surface,
such
as
a
concrete floor with no gaps or
breaks.
•
Put upright in vertical position
and fully lower the forks or
attachment.
•
Put all controls in neutral.
•
Turn key switch OFF.
•
Apply the parking brake.
