To start the tractor, ensure it is in neutral, engage the parking brake, and turn the ignition key to the start position until the engine fires up.
Use SAE 10W-30 oil for the engine, as recommended by Simplicity for optimal performance and protection under most operating conditions.
Change the engine oil after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 50 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first.
Check the battery connections, ensure the fuel valve is open, verify the brake is engaged, and check for any blown fuses.
Use the height adjustment lever located on the right side of the operator’s seat to set the desired cutting height.
Clean the tractor, change the oil, add fuel stabilizer, disconnect the battery, and store in a dry place.
Check that the mower deck is level, blades are sharp, and tire pressures are equal. Adjust as necessary.
Refer to the operator’s manual, but typically, front tires should be at 14 psi and rear tires at 10 psi.
Remove the deck, release belt tension, remove the old belt, install the new belt following the belt routing diagram, and re-tension.
Check coolant levels, ensure the radiator is not blocked, and inspect the fan belt for proper tension and wear.
