Simplicity 2690139 Legacy XL Parts Manual

To change the oil, first run the engine for a few minutes to warm it up. Turn off the engine and remove the key. Place a drain pan under the engine, remove the oil drain plug, and allow the oil to drain completely. Replace the drain plug and fill the engine with the recommended oil type and amount. Finally, check the oil level with the dipstick.
If your tractor won't start, check the battery connections to ensure they are clean and tight. Ensure the fuel tank is not empty and the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage, and replace if necessary. If the tractor still doesn't start, consult the owner's manual or contact a professional technician.
Regular maintenance should be performed every 50 hours of operation or at the start of each season. This includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting the air filter, checking tire pressure, and lubricating moving parts. Refer to the owner's manual for a detailed maintenance schedule.
The Simplicity 2690139 Legacy XL Tractor requires unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol as it may damage the engine.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on the tractor. Move the lever to the desired position to raise or lower the mower deck. Make sure the tractor is on a level surface before making adjustments.
First, ensure the PTO (Power Take-Off) switch is engaged. Check the drive belt for any signs of wear or damage. If the belt is in good condition, inspect the PTO clutch and electrical connections. Consult the owner's manual or a professional if necessary.
To improve traction, ensure the tires are properly inflated according to the specifications in the owner's manual. Consider using tire chains or adding ballast weight to the rear wheels for additional traction, especially when operating on slopes or uneven terrain.
Before storing, clean the tractor thoroughly and perform necessary maintenance. Drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
To change the air filter, locate the air filter housing on the engine. Remove the cover and take out the old air filter. Install the new air filter, ensuring it is seated properly, and replace the cover. Regularly check the air filter for dirt and debris to maintain engine performance.
If experiencing uneven cutting, check the mower deck to ensure it is level. Inspect the blades for sharpness and damage, and replace or sharpen them if needed. Verify that the tire pressures are equal and adjust if necessary.
