Simplicity 1694196 Conquest Parts Manual

To change the oil, first run the engine for a few minutes to warm it up. Then, turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire. Place a pan under the oil drain valve, open the valve, and allow the oil to drain completely. Replace the oil filter, close the drain valve, and refill with new oil as specified in the manual.
Check if the fuel tank is full, and ensure the fuel valve is open. Inspect the battery for charge and connections. Verify that the spark plug is clean and properly connected. If the problem persists, consult the troubleshooting section of the manual or contact a professional.
Ensure the tractor is on a flat surface and the engine is off. Disconnect the spark plug wire for safety. Raise the mower deck and secure it. Use a wrench to remove the blade bolts, replace the blades, and tighten the bolts securely. Reconnect the spark plug wire after completion.
The Simplicity 1694196 Conquest Tractor is designed to run on unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using ethanol blends higher than E10 to prevent engine damage.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on the right side of the mower. Move the lever to the desired height setting marked on the fender. Make sure to adjust the deck evenly on both sides for a uniform cut.
Before storing, clean the tractor and remove any debris. Drain the fuel system or add a fuel stabilizer. Change the oil and remove the battery, storing it in a cool, dry place. Cover the tractor and store it in a dry, sheltered area.
Regular maintenance should be performed at the start of each season and after every 25 hours of use. This includes checking the oil, air filter, spark plugs, and mower blades, as well as inspecting belts and tires.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced mower blades, loose bolts, or damaged components. Check and tighten all visible bolts, inspect the blades for damage, and ensure they are balanced. If the issue persists, consult a professional technician.
Start by checking the battery voltage and connections. Inspect fuses and wiring for damage or corrosion. Test the ignition switch and solenoid. If you are unable to identify the issue, refer to the wiring diagram in the manual or seek professional assistance.
