SECTION 1. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this manual is to provide
information useful in servicing the Hydro-Gear
Integrated Hydrostatic Transaxle (IHT). This
manual includes the IHT’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. Do not wash the transaxle while it
is hot. Do not use a pressure washer to clean
the unit.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 310-0510 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 10cc per revolution. The variable displacement pump features a trunnion 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 310-0510 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 check ball lifting bypass is utilized in the 3100510 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 310-0510 utilizes an in-line floating disc
brake controlled by a “cam” style actuating arm.

HYDRAULIC SCHEMATIC
Figure 2 provides an illustration of the hydraulic
oil circuit. The oil supply for the hydraulic
system of the 310-0510 IHT 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.

DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY
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 310-0510 has a
mechanical lever which lifts the check valve
balls off their seat. This allows oil flow from the
cylinder blocks to be discharged.
During the operation of the transaxle, fluid is
“lost” from the hydraulic loop through leak paths

3. Inspect the vehicle drive belt, idler pulley(s),
and idler spring(s). Insure that no belt
slippage can occur. Slippage can cause low
input speed to the transmission.
4. Inspect the transmission cooling fan for
broken or distorted blades and remove any
obstructions (grass clippings, leaves, dirt,
etc.).
5. Inspect the axle parking brake and vehicle
linkage to insure proper actuation and
adjustment of the parking brake.
mentioned in the repair section of this manual
must be performed after the unit has been
removed from the vehicle.
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 Page 4
and Figure 4 for the proper fill port location.
Fill the 310-0510 to the top of the oil fill port.
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.
6. Inspect the vehicle control linkage to the
directional control arm on transaxle. Also,
insure the control arm is securely fastened
to the trunnion arm of the transaxle.

FLUID CHANGE
FLUID CHANGE PROCEDURE
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.
1. Remove the transaxle from the vehicle.
2. Clean the expansion tank and oil fill port
areas of any debris.
3. Remove the oil fill port fitting.
4. Position the transaxle so the oil will drain
completely out of the housing.
5. After all the oil is drained from the transaxle,
remove the expansion tank by removing the
self tapping bolt (10-32 x ½) that holds the
tank support bracket.
6. Remove the tank and drain the oil from the
tank. DO NOT remove the vent cap from the
tank. DO NOT remove the tank hose or
o-ring unless a replacement is needed.
7. Install the tank by first inserting the hose
into the opening in the expansion tank.
Push the tank opening over the o-ring to ensure a proper seal.
8. Install the tank support bracket and self ta pping bolt making sure not to cross thread
the bolt. Torque the bolt to the lower value
of the torque specification listed in Table 5.
9. Fill the transaxle at the oil fill port according
to Figure 4.
10. Install the oil fill port fitting.
EXPANSION TANK FUNCTION
The expansion tank allows the 310-0510 to
operate free of air entrainment and provides
maximum lubrication to the mechanical and
hydraulic components in the transaxle.
As the 310-0510 transaxle is operated, oil in
the transaxle housing heats up which causes
the oil to expand. The oil flows through an
internal hose to the bottom of the vented
expansion tank. As the oil cools, the oil in the
transaxle housing contracts, causing the oil
level to go down in the housing. This creates a
negative pressure in the housing causing the
oil to be drawn back into the case. This keeps
the transaxle housing full of oil at specified
operating temperatures.

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 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.

310-0710 INTEGRATED HYDROSTATIC TRANSAXLE
DESCRIPTION
The 310-0710 transaxle is an upgraded
310-0510 unit with different axle shafts, pump
cylinder block assembly, center section and
seal kit. The 310-0710 will have, as standard,
black axle shafts. Black “E” coated housings
and flanged hubs will be available options.
Except for flanged hub removal and assembly
described below, repair techniques for this
model are the same as described in the
preceding sections of this manual. Table 6
illustrates key feature differences between the
310-0510 and the 310-0710.
TRANSAXLE REMOVAL
It is necessary to remove the 310-0710 from
the vehicle before performing the repair procedures presented in the repair section. Use the
following procedure to prepare the unit for removal from the vehicle.
1. With the vehicle wheels on the ground,
loosen the nuts retaining the hubs on the
transaxle. Use an air impact wrench and
socket to loosen the nuts.
2. Lift the vehicle wheels from the ground and
remove the nut completely.
3. Remove the wheel from the hub.
4. Using a wheel or gear puller, remove the
hub from the shaft. Always inspect the hub
for damage after removal.

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.
