The recommended oil type for the Simplicity 1690570 7116H Tractor is SAE 30 for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 5W-30 for temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
To change the oil, warm up the engine, turn it off, and remove the oil drain plug. Allow the oil to drain completely, replace the drain plug, and refill with fresh oil as per the manufacturer's specifications.
First, ensure the tractor is off and parked on a flat surface. Remove the mower deck, then remove the old belt by sliding it off the pulleys. Install the new belt, ensuring it is properly seated in the pulley grooves, and reattach the deck.
Check the battery connections for corrosion, ensure the fuel tank is not empty, inspect the spark plug for wear, and verify that the safety switches are functioning correctly.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, add a fuel stabilizer to the gas tank, disconnect the battery, and store the tractor in a dry, sheltered area.
Locate the cutting height adjustment lever on the tractor. Move the lever to the desired position to raise or lower the mower deck accordingly.
Inspect the steering linkage for any loose or worn components and tighten or replace them as necessary. Check the tire pressure and adjust to the recommended levels.
The air filter should be checked before each use and replaced if it appears dirty or damaged. As a rule of thumb, replace it every season or after 100 hours of operation.
To clean the mower deck, first remove any large debris. Then use a garden hose to wash away any remaining grass clippings and dirt, ensuring the deck is dry before storing.
Park the tractor on a flat surface, use a jack to lift the affected side, remove the lug nuts, and take off the tire. Replace with a new tire, tighten the lug nuts securely, and lower the tractor.
