Typically, an engine oil with a minimum rating
of 9.0 cSt (55 SUS) at 230° F (110° C) and an
API classification of SL is recommended. A
20W50 engine oil has been selected for use
by the factory and is recommended for normal
operating procedures.

Fluid volume information is provided in
the table below.
Certain situations may require additional fluid
to be added or even replaced. Refer to page 11
and figure 4 for the proper fill port location.
Recheck the fluid level once the unit has been
operated for approximately 1 minute.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
External Maintenance
Regular external maintenance of the G730 ®
should include the following:
1. Check the vehicle operator’s manual for the
recommended load ratings. Insure that the
current application does not exceed load
rating.
2. Check oil level in accordance with “Fluid
Change Procedure,” step 9. Refer to page
11.
3. Inspect the vehicle drive belt, idler pulley(s),
and idler spring(s). Insure that no belt slip-
page can occur. Slippage can cause low
input speed to the transaxle.
4. Inspect the vehicle control linkage to the
directional control arm on the transaxle. Also
insure that the control arm is securely fas-
tened to the trunnion arm of the transaxle.
5. Inspect the bypass mechanism on the
transaxle and the vehicle linkage to insure
that both actuate and release fully.

dures
Some of the service procedures presented on

procedures as mentioned in the repair section
of this manual must be performed after the unit
