Transmission Identification; Transmission Service; Battery Maintenance - Simplicity Regent Series Operator's Manual

TRANSMISSION IDENTIFICATION

Several service procedures within this book are identified
by, and vary by, transmission type. To determine what
transmission is in your tractor, check the identification
tag attached to the axle of the transmission (Figure 14),
or check your tractor's parts book.
TRANSMISSION MAINTENANCE
K46 Maintenance
The K46 is a sealed unit and does not require regular
maintenance. If the transmission lacks drive or is exces-
sively noisy, it may need to be purged. See TRANSMIS-
SION PURGING in the Troubleshooting, Adjustments, &
Service Section.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

WARNING
Be careful when handling the battery. Avoid
spilling electrolyte. Keep flames and sparks away
from the battery.
When removing or installing battery cables,
disconnect the negative cable FIRST and reconnect
it LAST. If not done in this order, the positive
terminal can be shorted to the frame by a tool.
Cleaning the Battery and Cables
1. Disconnect the cables from the battery, negative
cable(s) first (A, Figure 15).
2. Remove the battery and clean the compartment with
a solution of baking soda and water.
3. Clean the battery terminals and cable ends with a
wire brush until shiny.
4. Reinstall the battery and reattach the battery cables,
positive first.
5. Coat the cable ends and battery terminals with
grease or petroleum jelly.
