Simplicity 2690192 Legacy XL Parts Manual

First, run the engine for a few minutes to warm up the oil, which makes it easier to drain. Turn off the engine and remove the key. Place an oil pan under the engine, remove the oil drain plug, and let the oil drain completely. Replace the plug, remove the oil filter, and install a new one. Finally, refill the engine with the recommended oil type and amount.

Check the battery connections to ensure they are clean and tight. Verify that the fuel tank has enough fuel and the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plugs for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the PTO is disengaged and the brake pedal is fully depressed before starting the engine.

Check the tire pressure to ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended PSI. Inspect the mower deck for any obstructions or damage. Adjust the mower deck level using the adjustment points to ensure it is even from side to side and front to back. Sharpen or replace the mower blades if they are dull or damaged.

Regular maintenance tasks include checking and changing the oil, replacing the oil filter, inspecting and replacing the air filter, checking the spark plugs, inspecting belts for wear, lubricating moving parts, and checking tire pressure. It is also important to regularly clean the mower deck and check for any loose bolts or fasteners.

Locate the mower deck height adjustment lever on the tractor. Move the lever to the desired position to adjust the cutting height. Make sure the deck is level by measuring the distance from the ground to the deck on both sides and adjusting the deck leveling links as necessary.

Check the transmission fluid level and top it off if necessary. Inspect the transmission belt for wear or damage and replace it if needed. Make sure the transmission bypass valve is not engaged. If the problem persists, consult the owner’s manual or contact a professional service technician.

Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. If it’s a paper filter, tap it gently to remove debris. If it’s a foam filter, wash it in warm, soapy water, rinse it thoroughly, and let it dry completely before reinstalling. Replace the air filter if it is excessively dirty or damaged.

Clean the tractor thoroughly to remove dirt and debris. Change the oil and filter, and fill the fuel tank. Add a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Keep the tractor in a covered, dry location to protect it from the elements.

Park the tractor on a flat surface, engage the parking brake, and remove the key. Lower the mower deck to its lowest position. Use a block of wood to prevent the blades from turning, and use a wrench to remove the blade bolts. Replace the old blades with new ones, ensuring they are properly aligned and tightened.

Check for debris stuck in the mower deck or around the blades. Inspect the blades for damage or imbalance, and sharpen or replace them if necessary. Check the belts for wear or misalignment. Verify that the engine mounting bolts are tight. If the issue continues, consult with a professional technician.
