SERVICE INFORMATION
By now, you're all probably familiar with the ATF Cooler Cleaner (P/N GHTTTCF6H). Shortly, youll be getting an update kit (free of charge from the manufacturer) that kicks its performance up a notch. Heres what youll get in this kit:
- Dipstick . There's no easy way to measure the ATF level in the tank. Keeping the right ATF level is crucial though for effective cooler cleaner operation. If you overfill the tank, ATF will blow out the filler/breather tube. If the ATF level drops too low, the tank heater shuts off as a safety precaution. The dipstick makes checking the ATF level a snap. Just insert the dipstick all the way into the filler neck opening, pull it out, and read whats on the stick.
- Improved tank float . The white tank float gets replaced with a new brown float. This new float allows for a lower ATF level in the tank before the tank heater shuts off. This stretches the time between tank refillings.
- Worm-style clamps . The spring-style clamps used on the ATF cooler lines are made to hold the cooler lines to the ATF cooler under normal operating conditions. The cooler cleaner uses high pressure (100 psi ) to do its job. With the pump motor running, the springstyle clamps can walk off or disconnect, causing a major ATF spill. The spring-style clamps get replaced with high-quality wormstyle clamps. These clamps securely hold the cooler lines in place.
