Simplicity 2690363 Conquest Parts Manual

To change the oil, first warm up the engine to ensure the oil flows smoothly. Turn off the engine and remove the key. Locate the oil drain valve and place a suitable container underneath. Open the valve to drain the old oil completely. Replace the oil filter if necessary, and then close the valve. Fill the engine with new oil according to the specifications in the user manual. Check the oil level with the dipstick to ensure it's correct.
If your tractor won't start, check the battery connections to ensure they are clean and tight. Verify that the fuel tank has fuel and that the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plug for damage or wear, replacing it if necessary. Finally, ensure the PTO is disengaged and the brake is fully applied. If the issue persists, consult a professional technician.
Regularly clean the mower deck to prevent grass buildup. Check and adjust the blade tension and sharpen or replace blades as needed. Lubricate the spindles and other moving parts according to the maintenance schedule. Inspect the belt for wear and replace it if necessary. Keep the deck level to ensure an even cut.
Use clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87. Avoid using gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol, as it may damage the engine components. Store fuel in a clean, approved container, and use a fuel stabilizer if storing for extended periods.
Inspect the air filter every 25 hours of operation or more frequently if operating in dusty conditions. Replace the air filter annually or as needed to ensure optimal engine performance and efficiency. Always use a filter that matches the manufacturer's specifications.
Before storing your tractor, clean it thoroughly to remove dirt and debris. Change the oil and filter, and top off the fuel tank, adding a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Inflate the tires to the recommended pressure and cover the tractor with a breathable cover to protect it from dust and moisture.
First, check that the mower deck is level from side to side and front to back. Inspect the blades for sharpness and damage, replacing them if necessary. Ensure the tire pressures are equal and at the recommended levels. Also, verify that the deck is free of debris that could be obstructing the blades.
Excessive vibration may be caused by unbalanced or damaged blades. Check the blades for bends or cracks and replace them if needed. Ensure the blades are properly installed and torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. Additionally, inspect the spindles and pulleys for wear and replace worn components.
To check the tire pressure, use a tire pressure gauge to measure the current pressure of each tire. Compare the readings to the recommended pressure values found in the user manual. If adjustment is needed, add or release air using a compatible air compressor or air pump. Recheck with the gauge to ensure accuracy.
To extend the battery life, regularly clean the terminals and apply a protective coating to prevent corrosion. Ensure the battery is securely mounted to reduce vibration damage. Keep the battery charged, especially during periods of inactivity, using a trickle charger if necessary. Avoid deep discharging and store the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use.
