Simplicity 2690158 Legacy XL Parts Manual

To perform routine maintenance, regularly check the oil level, air filter, and tire pressure. Change the engine oil every 50 hours of operation and replace the air filter every 100 hours. Ensure all belts and blades are in good condition and lubricate all moving parts as per the owner's manual.
If the tractor won't start, check the battery connections and ensure the battery is fully charged. Inspect the fuel level and fuel filter for blockages. Verify that the spark plug is clean and properly gapped, and make sure the safety switches are engaged correctly.
Uneven cutting can be caused by improper deck leveling, dull blades, or tire pressure discrepancies. Check the deck level and adjust if necessary. Sharpen or replace the blades and ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure.
To change the blades, park the tractor on a flat surface and disconnect the spark plug. Use a wrench to remove the blade bolts, then replace the old blades with new ones, ensuring they are installed correctly and the bolts are tightened securely.
Maintain the battery by keeping it clean and dry. Check the terminals for corrosion and clean them with a mixture of baking soda and water if necessary. Ensure the battery is fully charged, especially before storage, and use a battery maintainer if the tractor is not in use for extended periods.
If the tractor overheats, stop the engine and allow it to cool. Check the coolant level and top it up if necessary. Inspect the radiator and air intake for blockages, and clean them to ensure proper airflow.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on the tractor. Move the lever to the desired position, ensuring it clicks into place to secure the deck at the selected height.
To winterize the tractor, clean the exterior and undercarriage to remove debris. Change the oil and add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture during storage.
For transmission issues, check the fluid levels and ensure they are within the recommended range. Inspect for leaks or damages in the transmission system. If problems persist, consult a professional technician for further diagnostics.
To clean the air filter, remove the filter cover and take out the air filter. If it's a foam filter, wash it with soapy water, rinse, and allow it to dry before replacing. For paper filters, tap gently to remove debris or replace if significantly dirty.
