Fill the IHT with a 20W-50 engine oil. The correct volume
for fill should be 2 1/2 quarts (80 ounces) (2.37L) for both
the 310-0500 and the 310-0750.

It is recommended that the unit be purged prior to install-

ing into the vehicle frame. The following is the suggested
purging procedures for repaired transaxles.

1 Spin the input shaft in a clockwise direction at

1000 - 1500 RPM. This may be performed in a
drill press (or equivalent).

2 Engage (actuate) the bypass.

3 Stroke the control lever forward for five seconds

and then reverse for five seconds. Do this three
times in each direction.

4 Return the control lever to neutral.

5 Disengage the bypass.

6 Stroke the control lever forward for five seconds

and then reverse for five seconds. Do this three
times in each direction.

NOTE: It may be necessary to repeat these steps in the

vehicle to fully purge the IHT.
