SECTION 1. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this manual is to provide
information useful in servicing the Hydro-Gear
Integrated Zero Turn (IZT) transaxle. This manual includes the IZT’s general description, hydraulic schematic, technical specifications, servicing and troubleshooting procedures.
The transaxle normally will not require servicing
during the life of the vehicle in which it is
installed. Should other servicing be required,
the exterior of the transaxle will need to be
thoroughly cleaned before beginning most
procedures.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 310-2400 is a self contained unit designed
for the transfer and control of power. It provides
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 10cc
per revolution, and motor with a fixed displacement of 21cc per revolution. The variable displacement pump features a cradle mounted
swashplate with a direct-proportional displacement control. Reversing the direction of the
swashplate reverses the flow of oil from the
pump and thus reverses the direction of the
motor output rotation. The pump and motor are
of the axial piston design and utilize spherical
nosed pistons which are held against a thrust
race by internal compression springs.
The 310-2400 has a self contained fluid supply
and an internal filter. The fluid is forced through
the filter by a positive “head” on the fluid in the
housing/expansion tank with an assist by the
negative pressure created in the pump pistons
as they operate.
The check valves in the center section are used
to control the makeup flow of the fluid to the low
pressure side of the loop.
A bypass is utilized in the 310-2400 to permit
moving the vehicle for a short distance at a
maximum of 2 m.p.h. (3.2 Km/h) without starting the engine.
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.
The 310-2400 is configured for both floating
disc and cog style parking brakes.

HYDRAULIC SCHEMATIC
Figure 2 provides an illustration of the hydraulic
oil circuit. The oil supply for the hydraulic
system of the 310-2400 IZT is also utilized for
lubricating the components of the final drive
assembly.
The input shaft and pump cylinder block are
turned in one direction only by the engine/drive
belt/pulley combination. Output of the oil flow is
controlled by the direction and amount that the
variable swashplate is angled. As the pump
pistons compress they force the oil to flow
through one of two passageways (forward or
reverse) in the center section to the motor
cylinder block and motor shaft. Since the motor
has a fixed displacement angle it is forced to
turn with the flow of oil. As the angle of the
pump swashplate is increased the amount of oil
being pumped will increase and cause a higher
speed output of the motor. Reversing the angle
of the swashplate will reverse the direction of
oil flow.
designed into the product for lubrication
purposes (around pistons, under the rotating
cylinder blocks, etc.). This “lost” fluid returns to
the transaxle housing, then is pulled back into
one of the check valves depending upon the
direction of vehicle operation. All of this oil
must pass through an internal filter.
The motor cylinder block mounts onto a splined
motor shaft which drives the gear train.
The bypass feature in the 310-2400 has a
mechanical lever which lifts the motor block off
of the center section running surface, allowing
any oil flowing from the pump block to be
discharged into the housing without turning the
motor.
During the operation of the transaxle, fluid is
“lost” from the hydraulic loop through leak paths

FLUIDS
The fluids used in Hydro-Gear products have
been carefully selected, and only equivalent, or
better products should be substituted.
Typically, an engine oil with a minimum rating
of 55 SUS at 212°F (100° C) and an API classification of SL is recommended. A 20W-50 engine oil has been selected for use by the factory and is recommended for normal operating
temperatures.
FLUID VOLUME AND LEVEL
Fluid volume information is provided in Table 3.
Certain situations may require additional fluid to
be added or even replaced. Refer to Figure 4
for the proper fill port location.
CAUTION
Do not overfill.
If you overfill the transaxle while the unit
is “cold”, it may overflow as it reaches
normal operating temperatures. The oil
level should not be above the
manufacturer’s suggestions outlined in
this manual. This will allow the space
needed for the oil to expand as it warms
up.
Recheck the fluid level once the unit has been
operated for approximately 1 minute.
Purging may be required. Refer to the purging
procedures on page 11.
FLUID CHANGE
This transaxle is factory filled, sealed and does
not require oil maintenance. However, in the
event of oil contamination or degradation, oil
addition or change may alleviate certain performance problems.
It is essential that the unit exterior be free of
debris prior to fluid maintenance. The transaxle must be removed from the vehicle for oil
drainage from the top.

PURGING PROCEDURES
Due to the effects air has on efficiency in
hydrostatic drive applications, it is critical that it
be purged from the system.
These purge procedures should be implemented any time a hydrostatic system has
been opened to facilitate maintenance or any
additional oil has been added to the system.
Air creates inefficiency because its compression and expansion rate is higher than that of
the oil normally approved for use in hydrostatic
drive systems.
The resulting symptoms in hydrostatic systems
may be:
1. Noisy operation.
2. Lack of power or drive after short term
operation.
3. High operation temperature and excessive
expansion of oil.
Before starting, make sure the transaxle/
transmission is at the proper oil level. If it is
not, fill to the specifications outlined on page
10, Figure 4.
The following procedures should be performed
with the vehicle drive wheels off the ground,
then repeated under normal operating conditions.
1. With the bypass valve open and the engine
running, slowly move the directional control
in both forward and reverse directions 5 to 6
times, as air is purged from the unit, the oil
level will drop.
2. With the bypass valve closed and the
engine running, slowly move the directional
control in both forward and reverse
directions (5 to 6 times). Check the oil level,
and add oil as required after stopping
engine.
3. It may be necessary to repeat Steps 1 and 2
until all the air is completely purged from the
system. When the transaxle moves forward
and reverse at normal speed purging is
complete.

POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY
Certain procedures require the vehicle
engine to be operated and the vehicle
to be raised off the ground. To prevent
possible injury to the servicing technician and/or bystanders, insure the
vehicle is properly secured.
The return to neutral mechanism on the transmission is designed to set the directional control into a neutral position when the operator removes their hands from the 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 Manufacturer’s (OEM’s) control linkage at the return
arm. Refer to Figure 7.
3. Start the engine and increase the throttle to
full engine speed.
WARNING
Do not attempt any adjustments with the
engine running. Use extreme caution while
inspecting all vehicle linkage!
Follow all safety procedures outlined in the
vehicle owner’s manual.
4. Check for axle rotation. If the axles do not
rotate, go to Step 5. If the axles rotate, go to
Step 6.
5. Stop the vehicle’s engine. Reattach and adjust the OEM linkage to the return arm according to the OEM manual. Recheck according to Step 3 and 4. Stop the vehicle
engine. Refer to Figure 7.
6. Note the axle directional movement. Stop
the vehicle engine. Loosen the lock down
screw until the return arm can be rotated.
Refer to Figure 7 below to make adjustment. In general, rotate the return arm in
the direction opposite of axle rotation. If the
axle is rotating in the “B” direction, rotate
the return arm in the “A” direction, and viceversa. Continue until axle rotation stops.
Tighten the lock down screw. Refer to Table

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Axial Piston: Type of design for hydraulic motors and pumps in which the pistons are arranged
parallel with the spindle (input or output shaft).
Bantam Duty: A descriptive term relating to the product capacity (meaning: light duty).
Bypass Valve: A valve whose primary function is to open a path for the fluid to bypass the motor
or pump. Also referred to occasionally as the freewheel valve or dump valve.
Case Drain Line (Return Line): A line returning fluid from the component housing to the
reservoir.
Cavitation: A concentrated gaseous condition within the fluid causing the rapid implosion of a
gaseous bubble.
Center Section: A device which acts as the valve body and manifold of the transmission.
Charge Pump: A device which supplies replenishing fluid to the fluid power system (closed loop).
Charge Pressure: The pressure at which replenishing fluid is forced into a fluid power system.
Charge Relief Valve: A pressure control valve whose primary function is to limit pressure in the
charge circuit.
Check Valve: A valve whose primary function is to restrict flow in one direction.
Closed Loop: A sealed and uninterrupted circulating path for fluid flow from the pump to the motor
and back.
Decay Rate: The ratio of pressure decay over time.
End Cap: See “Center Section”
Entrained Air: A mechanical mixture of air bubbles having a tendency to separate from the liquid
phase.
Gerotor: A positive displacement pump frequently used as a charge pump.
Hydraulic Motor: A device which converts hydraulic fluid power into mechanical force and motion
by transfer of flow under pressure.
Hydraulic Pump: A device which converts mechanical force and motion into hydraulic fluid power
by producing flow.
Hydrostatic Pump:See “Hydraulic Pump”

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Hydrostatic Transaxle: A multi-component assembly including a gear case and a hydrostatic
transmission.
Hydrostatic Transmission: The combination of a hydraulic pump and motor in one housing to
form a device for the control and transference of power.
Inlet Line: A supply line to the pump.
Integrated Hydrostatic Transaxle (IHT): The combination of a hydrostatic transmission and gear
case in one housing to form a complete transaxle.
Manifold: A conductor which provides multiple connection ports.
Neutral: Typically described as a condition in which fluid flow and system pressure is below that
which is required to turn the output shaft of the motor.
Pressure Decay: A falling pressure.
Priming: The filling of the charge circuit and closed loop of the fluid power system during start up,
frequently achieved by pressurizing the fluid in the inlet line.
Purging: The act of replacing air with fluid in a fluid power system by forcing fluid into all of the
components and allowing the air a path of escape.
Rated Flow: The maximum flow that the power supply system is capable of maintaining at a spe-
cific operating pressure.
Scoring: Scratches in the direction of motion of mechanical parts caused by abrasive contami-
nants.
Swash Plate: A mechanical device used to control the displacement of the pump pistons in a fluid
power system.
System Charge Check Valve: A valve controlling the replenishing flow of fluid from a charge cir-
cuit to the closed loop in a fluid power system.
System Pressure: The pressure which overcomes the total resistance in a system, including all
losses.
Valve: A device which controls fluid flow direction, pressure, or flow rate.
Variable Displacement Pump: A pump in which the displacement per cycle can be varied.
Volumetric Displacement: The volume for one revolution.
