To start the Simplicity 1690600 6118 Tractor, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the transmission is in neutral, and the PTO is off. Turn the ignition key to the start position and release it once the engine starts.
Use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 5W-30 oil for temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
Check the battery for charge, ensure the fuel tank has fuel, inspect the spark plug for wear, and make sure all safety switches are engaged.
Perform oil changes every 25 hours of operation, check and clean the air filter every 25 hours, and inspect the spark plug every 100 hours.
To adjust the cutting height, use the lever located on the right side of the operator's seat to set the desired height of the mower deck.
Check the transmission fluid level and top up if necessary. Inspect the drive belt for wear or damage and replace it if needed.
Turn off the engine, disconnect the battery, remove the mower deck, and use a wrench to remove the belt guards. Replace the old belt with a new one, ensuring it is routed correctly.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, drain the fuel system or add a fuel stabilizer, change the oil, lubricate moving parts, and store the battery in a cool, dry place.
Check for debris blocking the air intake or cooling fins, ensure the oil level is adequate, and verify that the radiator is clean and the cooling fan is operational.
After turning off the engine and disconnecting the spark plug, use a garden hose to spray off grass clippings and debris. Scrape off any remaining buildup with a plastic scraper.
