To start the Simplicity 2690007 Broadmoor Tractor, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO is off, and the throttle is set to the choke position. Turn the ignition key to the start position until the engine starts, then release it to the run position. Adjust the throttle as needed.
First, check the battery connections and ensure they are clean and tight. Verify that the fuel level is adequate and that the fuel valve is open. Make sure the PTO is disengaged and the parking brake is engaged. If the tractor still won't start, check the fuse and consult the user manual for additional troubleshooting steps.
It is recommended to change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at the beginning of each mowing season, whichever comes first. Always refer to the operator’s manual for specific oil types and change procedures.
Regular maintenance for the mower deck includes cleaning after each use to prevent grass buildup, checking and tightening the blade bolts, and inspecting the belt for wear and proper tension. Lubricate the spindles and pivot points as recommended in the manual.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever, usually on the fender or near the operator's seat. Move the lever to the desired height position. Consult the manual for specific height settings and ensure the deck is level side-to-side for an even cut.
If the steering feels loose, check the steering linkages for wear or damage. Tighten any loose nuts or bolts and inspect the front wheels for proper alignment. If the problem persists, consult the service manual or contact a qualified technician.
To change the mower blades, park the tractor on a flat surface, engage the parking brake, and remove the ignition key. Raise the mower deck to its highest position. Use a wrench to remove the blade bolts, replace the blades, and tighten the bolts securely. Ensure the blades are properly balanced.
For winter storage, clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, and add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Inflate the tires to the recommended pressure and cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
To improve traction on slopes, ensure the tires are properly inflated and consider using wheel weights or tire chains. Always mow up and down slopes, rather than across, and avoid making sharp turns. Use caution and operate at reduced speeds on slopes.
Regularly check the transmission fluid level and top off if necessary. Inspect the drive belt for wear and tension. Refer to the operator's manual for any specific service intervals and procedures related to the transmission.
