To start the Simplicity 1693354 Broadmoor Tractor, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO is turned off, and the throttle is set to half-speed. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the start position until the engine fires up.
If the engine fails to start, check the battery connections for corrosion, ensure there is sufficient fuel, and verify that the spark plug is in good condition. If issues persist, consult the user's manual for further troubleshooting steps.
To change the oil, warm up the engine to improve oil flow, turn off the tractor, and place a container under the oil drain valve. Remove the oil cap, open the drain valve, and let the oil drain completely. Replace with new oil and a new oil filter, then check the oil level.
Regular maintenance should include checking the oil level before each use, cleaning the air filter every 25 hours, sharpening the blades regularly, and scheduling a comprehensive service check annually or every 100 hours of operation.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the lever near the seat on the right side. Move the lever to the desired cutting height position, ranging from 1 to 4 inches, ensuring the tractor is on a flat surface for even adjustment.
For uneven cutting, check tire pressure to ensure they are equal, inspect the blades for sharpness and damage, level the mower deck, and verify that the cutting height is set evenly on both sides.
To prevent overheating, regularly clean the air intake and engine cooling fins, ensure the engine oil is at the correct level, and check the coolant system if applicable. Operating the tractor in high ambient temperatures may require additional monitoring.
If the transmission is not engaging, check the drive belt for wear or damage, ensure the transmission fluid is at the correct level, and inspect the linkage for any obstructions or disconnections.
To winterize the tractor, clean the exterior, change the oil, add a fuel stabilizer to the gas tank, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place, and cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
To replace the mower blades, lift the tractor using appropriate jacks, remove the mower deck, secure the blade with a block of wood, and unscrew the blade bolt. Replace with a new blade, ensuring it is installed in the correct orientation, and tighten the bolt securely.
