A
CAUTION: THE AREA AROUND THE FILLER
CAP MUST BE CLEAN BEFORE REMOVING THE
CAP. DO NOT ALLOW ANY DIRT OR FOREIGN
MATERIAL

A
CAUTION: If overfilled, the oil will expend during
operation and may leak out around the filler cap.
If oil cannot be seen in the expansion reservoir, it will be
necessary to fill the reservoir to the proper level and bleed
(remove air) from the transmission. See Owner's manual for
this procedure.
