Simplicity 2690290 Legacy XL Parts Manual

To change the oil, first warm up the engine slightly to ensure the oil drains smoothly. Turn off the engine and remove the key. Place an oil pan under the drain plug, remove the plug, and let the oil drain completely. Replace the drain plug and refill with the recommended oil type and capacity as specified in the manual.
First, check the battery connections to ensure they are clean and secure. Verify that the battery is charged. Inspect the spark plugs for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Ensure that there is enough fuel in the tank and that the fuel valve is open. If the problem persists, consult the manual or contact a service professional.
The air filter should be checked every 25 hours of operation and replaced every 100 hours or annually, whichever comes first. More frequent replacement may be necessary if operating in dusty conditions.
Use the transmission fluid specified in the owner's manual, which is typically a high-quality hydraulic/transmission fluid. Always ensure the fluid meets the specifications provided by Simplicity for optimal performance.
To level the mower deck, park the tractor on a flat surface and lower the deck. Measure the height of the blade tips from the ground on both sides. Adjust the deck hangers until the blade tips are at the same height. Consult the manual for precise adjustment procedures.
Refer to the owner's manual for the recommended tire pressure, which is typically around 12-15 psi for the front tires and 10-12 psi for the rear tires. Always check tire pressure before use to ensure safety and optimal performance.
Check that the mower deck is level. Inspect the blades for sharpness and damage; sharpen or replace as necessary. Ensure the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure. Examine the spindles and pulleys for damage or wear.
Clean the tractor thoroughly to remove dirt and debris. Change the oil and oil filter. Drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer. Remove 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 replace the drive belt, first disconnect the spark plug to ensure safety. Remove the mower deck and locate the belt path. Release the tension on the belt by adjusting the tensioner pulley. Remove the old belt and install the new belt following the same path. Reassemble all components and check tension.
Check the PTO switch and wiring for damage or disconnection. Inspect the PTO clutch for wear or malfunction. Ensure the battery is fully charged, as low voltage can affect PTO operation. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.
