To perform routine maintenance, ensure the engine is off and cool. Check the oil level and change it if necessary. Inspect the air filter and clean or replace it as needed. Also, check the tire pressure, and inspect belts and blades for wear. Refer to the manual for specific service intervals.
If the tractor won't start, check the battery for charge and ensure connections are clean and tight. Verify the fuel level and examine the fuel filter. Inspect the spark plug and replace it if needed. Ensure the safety switches are engaged properly.
Uneven cutting can be due to an unlevel deck, dull blades, or incorrect tire pressure. Check and adjust the deck level and ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure. Sharpen or replace the blades if they are dull or damaged.
To change the oil, run the engine for a few minutes to warm it up, then turn it off. Remove the oil drain plug and let the oil drain into a pan. Replace the drain plug and add new oil as specified in the manual. Dispose of old oil properly.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on the tractor. Move the lever to the desired position, ensuring it locks into place. Verify the deck is level after adjustment to ensure an even cut.
If the blades are not engaging, check the blade engagement lever or switch for proper operation. Inspect the PTO belt for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Also, ensure the safety interlock switches are functioning correctly.
The air filter should be checked every 25 hours of operation and replaced if it appears dirty or damaged. In dusty conditions, more frequent checks and replacements may be necessary. Consult the manual for specific guidance.
The Simplicity 1693353 Broadmoor Tractor is designed to run on unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol to prevent engine damage.
To winterize the tractor, clean the exterior and underside to remove dirt and debris. Add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank and run the engine for a few minutes. Change the oil and filter, and remove the battery to store in a cool, dry place. Cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
If the tractor is overheating, check the engine coolant level and add more if necessary. Inspect the radiator and cooling fins for obstructions and clean them. Ensure the fan is working properly and replace the thermostat if it is not functioning.
