Do not luse a prossure washer to clean the unit General Description The 6730 isa self contained unit designed for the transfer and control ofpowsr.Itprovidee an infinitely variable speed range between zero and maximum in both forward and reverse modes of operation. This transaxle uses a variable displacement ‘pump with a maximum displacement of 10ce per revolution, and motor with a fixed dis placement of 16cc per revolution. The vari- able displacement pump features a tunnion ‘mounted swashplate witha direct-proportional displacement control. Reversing the direction of the swashplate reverses the flow of oil rom the pump and thus reverses the direction of the motor output rotation, The pump and motor are ofthe axial piston design and utilize spherical nosed pistons which are held against a thrust race by internal compression springs. ‘The G730 transaxle has a self contained fluid supply and extemal fite. The external fiter provides ease of access for oil maintenance of the drive system. The G730is designed with a charged pressure circu In this circuit, ud is drawn from the case and through the fiter and into a fixed displacement ,gerotor pump. Charge pump flow not used to {eed the low pressure side of the system is passed over a charge relief valve and back into the transaxle case. ‘The check valves inthe center section are used to control the make-up flow of the fd to the low pressure side ofthe loop. ‘The G730 utlizes an insine floating dise brake controlled by a "cam" style actuating arm, ‘Acam styl, block iting bypass is ullized inthe ‘6730 to permit moving the vehicle for a short distance at a maximum of 2 mph, (3.2 Krvh) without starting the engine. The brake must be disengaged prior to actuating the bypass ‘mechanism, A WARNING ‘Actuating the bypass will result in the loss of hydrostatic braking capacity. The machine must be stationary on a level surface and in neutral when actuating the bypass.HYDRAULIC SCHEMATIC ‘igure 1 Hydraulic Schomatc Wits Charge PumpEXTERNAL FEATURES G730™ Side Housing Axle Shat Bypass Arm Return To Neutral Assembly Main Housing Filter Guard ‘Charge Pump —EXTERNAL FEATURES G730™ Brake Arm — Outboard View (Left) — ‘Top Fill Port il Level Check Port oi Filter — Outboard View (Right) —TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Renae Overall ans Reduction mst pur peas dug ‘ aac Bie “pene si ee 0p ‘uiput Torque incre asin ata) Coniunss Zab ia wm) ORB in inti UMA new cpiay iaBe ‘Welghton Tre (per uni Masi wh 2" es 100 8) oxi wth 2" tres esi 028) EPR <3 Re Mom mt Rae ale Shaft End Options oye To Fs BERR RE ‘Weight of nt PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION The model and configuration of the G730 can be determined from the label shown below.

Bofore servicing or repairing the 6730 transaxle, fully read and undor stand the safety precautions describe inthis section. Personal Safety Certain safety precautions must be observed uiile servicing or repairing the G730. This section addresses some of these precautions but must not be considered an allinclusive source on safety information. This section is, to be used in conjunction with all other safety ‘material which may apply, such as: 41. Other manuals pertaining to this machine, 2. Local and shop safety rules and codes, 3. Governmental safety laws and regula tions. Be sure that you know and understand the ‘equipment and the hazards associated with it Do not place speed above safely. Notify your supervisor whenever you feel there is any hazard involving the equipment or the performance of your jo. "Never allow untrained or unauthorized person Wear appropriate clothing. Loose or hanging clothing or jewelry can be hazardous. Use the appropriate safety equipment, such as eye ‘and hearing protection, and safety-toe and slip-proof shoes. Never use compressed airto clean debris from yourself or your clothing Tool Safety Use the proper tools and equipment for the task, Inspect each tool before use and replace any tool that may be damaged or defective, Work Area Safety Keep the work area neat and orderly, Be sure itis well lit, that extra tools are put away, trash ‘and refuse are in the proper containers, and drt ‘or debris have been removed from the working areas of the machine, ‘The floor should be clean and dry, and all ex- tension cords or similar trip hazards should be removed. Servicing Safety Certain procedures may require the vehicle to be disabled in order to prevent possible injury to the servicing technician andlor bystanders. ‘The loss of hydrostatic drive line power may ‘result inthe loss of hydrostatic braking capa- bility, ‘Some cleaning solvents are flammable. Use only approved cleaning materials: Do not use explosive or flammable liquids to clean the equipment To avoid possible fire, do not use cleaning solvents In an area where a source of ignition ‘may be present, Discard used cleaning material in the appropri ate containers, fel to service o repair the equipment caeTROUBLESHOOTING In many cases, problems with the G730™ are not related to a defective transaxle, but are ‘caused by slipping drive belts, partially engaged bypass valves, and loose or damaged control linkages. Be sure to perform all operational ‘checks and adjustments outlined in Service and Maintenance, before assuming the transaxle is malfunctioning. The table below provides a troubleshooting checklist to help determine the ‘cause of operational problems. WARNING Do not attempt any servicing or ad- justments with the engine running. Use extreme caution while inspecting the drive belt assombly and all vehicle linkage! Follow all safoty procedures outlined in the vehicle owner's manual.
