1
Before you replace the transmission cooling fan in your riding mower make sure the ignition switch is in the “off” position and the key has been removed.

With the cables disconnected, carefully lift out the battery.

Release the retaining tabs then lift out the battery box and set it aside.

You’re now ready to install the new transmission cooling fan.

Confirm that the drive belt is in place on the transmission shaft then align the new fan.
