To start the Simplicity 1693356 Broadmoor Tractor, ensure the brake is engaged, the PTO is disengaged, and the throttle is set to the choke position. Insert the key and turn it to the start position. Release the key once the engine starts.
If the engine does not start, check the fuel level, ensure the battery is charged, and confirm that the spark plug is functioning. Also, make sure the safety switches are engaged properly.
It is recommended to change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at least once per season to maintain optimal engine performance and longevity.
Use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F and 10W-30 for temperatures below 32°F. Always refer to the owner's manual for the most accurate information.
To replace the mower blades, ensure the tractor is off and parked on a level surface. Lift the deck to access the blades, use a wrench to remove the blade bolts, and replace with new blades. Securely tighten the bolts before lowering the deck.
If the cutting is uneven, check for a bent blade, ensure the deck is level, and inspect the tire pressure. Adjust the deck height if necessary and replace any damaged blades.
To improve traction, consider using tire chains or weights, especially on slopes or wet grass. Ensure the tires are properly inflated and consider adjusting the ballast according to the terrain.
Regular maintenance includes checking the oil, air filter, spark plug, and tire pressure. Clean the mower deck, inspect belts and blades, and lubricate moving parts as recommended in the manual.
For winter storage, clean the tractor, remove any debris, and perform maintenance checks. Add fuel stabilizer, change the oil, and store the tractor in a dry, protected area. Disconnect the battery to prevent discharge.
If the transmission is slipping, check the drive belt for wear or damage and ensure it is properly tensioned. Consult the manual for adjustment procedures or contact a service professional if necessary.
