WARNING
POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY
Inattention to proper safety, operation, or
maintenance procedures could result in
personal injury, or damage to the equip-
ment. Before servicing or repairing the
G730 ® transaxle, fully read and under-
stand the safety precautions described
in this section.
RETURN TO NEUTRAL SETTING
The return to neutral mechanism on the
transaxle is designed to set the directional
control into a neutral position when the operator
releases the vehicle directional control. Follow
the procedures below to properly adjust the
return to neutral mechanism on the transaxle:
1. Confirm the transaxle is in the operating
mode (bypass disengaged). Raise the
vehicle’s drive tires off the ground to allow
free rotation.
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove the
drive tire from the axle hub to access
the linkage control and the transaxle
return arm.
2. Remove the Original Equipment Manufac-
turer’s (OEM’s) control linkage at the control
arm.
3. Start the engine and increase the throttle to
full engine speed.
4. Check for axle rotation. If the axle does not
rotate, go to Step 5. If the axle rotates, go
to Step 6.
5. Stop the vehicle’s engine. Reattach and
adjust the vehicle’s linkage according to the
vehicle owner’s manual.
6. Note the axle directional movement. Stop
the vehicle engine. Loosen the RTN ad-
justment screw until the control arm can be
rotated. Rotate the control arm in the same
direction of the axle rotation in smal incre-
ments until the axle stops. Tighten the RTN
adjustment screw to 175 in. lbs. (19.78 Nm).
Recheck according to steps 3 and 4.
