To start the Simplicity 1690646 7117 Tractor, ensure the tractor is in neutral, engage the parking brake, and turn the ignition key to the start position. Release the key 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) to ensure optimal engine performance.
Change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at least once a season to maintain engine efficiency and longevity.
If the tractor does not start, check the battery connections for corrosion, ensure the fuel tank has gasoline, and inspect the spark plug for wear or damage.
Regularly clean the mower deck after each use, sharpen the blades at least once a season, and check for any signs of rust or damage.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on the tractor and move it to the desired position. Ensure both sides are set at the same level for an even cut.
Maintain the front tires at 14 psi and the rear tires at 10 psi for optimal performance and stability.
Check if the mower deck is level, ensure blades are sharp and balanced, and inspect the tire pressure for consistent cutting performance.
To winterize, drain the fuel, change the oil, remove the battery and store it in a warm place, and clean the tractor thoroughly to prevent rust.
To replace the drive belt, first disconnect the spark plug, remove the mower deck, release the tension on the belt, and replace it with a new one ensuring proper routing. Reattach the deck and reconnect the spark plug.
