Opsætning og installation

Professional installation is recommended. The following steps are general guidelines and may vary based on vehicle make and model.

1. Forberedelse: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and allow the engine and transmission to cool. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
2. Find monteringsområdet: Identify a suitable location for the cooler, typically in front of the radiator or air conditioning condenser, ensuring adequate airflow and clearance from other components.
3. Monter køleren: Use the provided mounting hardware (zip ties, foam pads) to securely attach the cooler to the chosen location. Ensure the cooler is stable and does not obstruct critical airflow to the radiator.
4. Identify Transmission Lines: Determine which transmission line is the return line from the factory cooler (if applicable). The new cooler should be installed in series with the existing cooling system.
5. Cut and Connect Hoses: Carefully cut the factory transmission return line and install the provided hose and fittings. Ensure all connections are tight and secure using the hose clamps. Avoid kinks in the hose.
6. Route Hoses: Route the new transmission cooler hoses away from hot exhaust components, sharp edges, and moving parts. Secure hoses with zip ties as needed.
7. Fill and Check Fluid: After installation, refill the transmission fluid to the manufacturer's recommended level. Start the engine, allow it to reach operating temperature, and check for leaks around all connections. Recheck fluid level.
8. Afsluttende inspektion: Ensure all tools are removed and all components are securely fastened.

Betjeningsvejledning

The Derale 13501 Transmission Oil Cooler operates passively by utilizing airflow to dissipate heat from the transmission fluid. No active controls or adjustments are required during normal operation. The cooler continuously works to maintain optimal transmission fluid temperatures once installed correctly.

Opretholdelse
