To start the Simplicity 1693328 Regent Tractor, ensure the tractor is in neutral, the parking brake is engaged, and the PTO switch is off. Turn the ignition key to the start position until the engine starts. Release the key once the engine is running.
The Simplicity 1693328 Regent Tractor typically uses SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C). For colder temperatures, SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 is recommended. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific oil recommendations.
To change the mower blades, first disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Lift the mower deck to its highest position, and use a wrench to remove the blade bolts. Replace the blades ensuring they are properly aligned and securely fastened. Reconnect the spark plug wire after installation.
If the tractor won't start, check the battery connections and ensure the battery is charged. Verify that the fuel tank has fuel and the fuel valve is open. Additionally, check the spark plug for wear or damage.
To improve cutting performance, ensure the blades are sharp and properly balanced. Check the tire pressure and adjust if necessary for even mowing. Regularly clean the underside of the mower deck to prevent grass buildup.
Regular maintenance includes checking the oil level and changing it as needed, cleaning or replacing the air filter, inspecting the belts and blades, and lubricating the tractor's moving parts. Always follow the maintenance schedule in the manual.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on the tractor. Move the lever to the desired cutting height position. Ensure the deck is level by measuring from the ground to the blade on each side.
Uneven cutting can be caused by dull blades, uneven tire pressure, or an unlevel deck. Check and sharpen the blades, adjust tire pressure, and level the mower deck as needed.
If the mower deck belt slips off, check for proper belt tension and wear. Inspect the pulleys for alignment issues and ensure they are not damaged. Replace the belt if it shows signs of wear or damage.
For winter storage, clean the tractor thoroughly and remove any debris. Change the oil, drain the fuel, or add a fuel stabilizer. Store the tractor in a dry, sheltered area and disconnect the battery to prevent discharge.
