To start your Simplicity 2690346 Legacy XL Tractor, ensure that the parking brake is engaged and the PTO switch is off. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the 'Start' position. Release the key once the engine starts.
The recommended maintenance schedule includes checking the engine oil level before each use, replacing the engine oil every 50 hours, checking the air filter every 25 hours, and inspecting the blades and belts periodically.
If the engine doesn't start, check the battery connections and charge if necessary. Ensure the fuel valve is open, the fuel is fresh, and the spark plug is clean and properly gapped.
To change the oil, run the engine for a few minutes to warm it up. Turn off the engine, place a pan under the oil drain, and remove the drain plug. Allow the oil to drain completely, replace the plug, and refill with new oil.
First, ensure the tractor is on a flat surface and the engine is off. Remove the blade bolts using a wrench, replace with new blades, and secure them tightly. Ensure the blades are balanced and correctly aligned.
Excessive vibration may be caused by unbalanced or damaged blades. Check the blades for damage or wear and ensure they are correctly balanced. Tighten all mounting hardware securely.
Regularly check the battery terminals for corrosion and clean them with a wire brush if necessary. Ensure the battery is fully charged, especially before winter storage, and store it in a cool, dry place if not in use.
For winter storage, clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, and add a fuel stabilizer to the tank. Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
Ensure the mower deck is level and the blades are sharp. Adjust the cutting height to suit the grass conditions and mow at a slow, steady pace to allow the blades to cut cleanly.
Check the PTO switch and wiring for any faults. Inspect the PTO belt for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the battery is fully charged, as a low battery can affect the PTO clutch operation.
