To change the oil, first, run the engine for a few minutes to warm it up. Turn off the engine and place a container under the drain plug. Remove the oil drain plug and allow the old oil to drain completely. Replace the drain plug and fill with the recommended oil type and quantity as specified in the manual.
The Simplicity 1693890 Landlord DLX Tractor is designed to run on unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87. Avoid using ethanol-blended fuels greater than 10%.
If the tractor won't start, check the battery connections for tightness and corrosion. Ensure the fuel valve is open and fresh fuel is in the tank. Examine the spark plug for damage or fouling and replace if necessary. Verify that all safety switches are engaged.
The recommended tire pressure for the Simplicity 1693890 Landlord DLX Tractor is typically 10 PSI for the front tires and 8 PSI for the rear tires. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for confirmation.
Regular maintenance involves checking and changing the oil, inspecting the air filter, checking tire pressure, lubricating moving parts, and inspecting belts and blades for wear. Refer to the owner's manual for a detailed maintenance schedule.
To adjust the cutting deck, first park the tractor on a level surface. Loosen the deck adjustment knobs and set the deck to the desired height. Tighten the knobs securely and ensure the deck is level from side to side.
If the engine overheats, turn off the engine immediately and allow it to cool. Check the coolant level if applicable, and ensure the radiator and cooling fins are clean and free of debris. Check for proper oil level and address any leaks.
To replace the spark plug, first disconnect the spark plug wire. Use a spark plug socket to remove the old plug. Install a new spark plug of the correct type and gap, and reattach the spark plug wire securely.
If the battery is not charging, check the alternator and voltage regulator for proper function. Ensure all electrical connections are clean and secure. Test the battery with a multimeter to determine if it needs replacement.
To sharpen the blades, remove them from the deck and secure them in a vice. Use a file or grinder to sharpen the cutting edge, ensuring to maintain the blade's original angle. Balance the blade before reinstalling to reduce vibration.
