Simplicity 2690407 Broadmoor Parts Manual

To perform an oil change, first ensure the tractor is on a level surface. Warm up the engine slightly for better oil flow. Turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug for safety. Place an oil pan under the drain plug and remove the plug to drain the oil. Replace the drain plug once the oil has fully drained. Remove the old oil filter and install a new one. Refill the engine with the recommended oil type and capacity. Reconnect the spark plug and check for leaks.

If the tractor won't start, check the battery connections and ensure they are clean and tight. Verify that there is enough fuel and that the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Check the air filter for clogs and clean or replace it. Ensure the PTO is disengaged and the parking brake is set. If the problem persists, consult the manual for further troubleshooting steps.

It is recommended to sharpen the mower blades every 25 hours of use. Regularly inspect the blades for nicks or dullness, and sharpen them as needed to ensure a clean cut and maintain the health of your lawn.

At the beginning of the mowing season, perform a thorough inspection of the tractor. Change the oil and oil filter, check and clean the air filter, inspect and sharpen the blades, check the tire pressure, and lubricate any moving parts. Additionally, inspect the belts for wear and replace if necessary.

To improve cutting performance, ensure the blades are sharp and balanced. Set the cutting height appropriately for your lawn conditions. Mow at the recommended speed and avoid cutting wet grass. Regularly check and clean the deck to prevent grass buildup.

To winterize the tractor, clean the exterior and remove any grass or debris. Change the oil and filter, and add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank. Run the engine for a few minutes to circulate the stabilizer. Disconnect 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 adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever, which is usually near the driver's seat. Move the lever to the desired cutting height setting. Refer to the manual for specific height settings and recommendations based on grass type and condition.

Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced or damaged blades. Check the blades for damage and balance them if necessary. Inspect the deck for any foreign objects and clean any grass buildup. Check all bolts and fasteners to ensure they are tight. If the problem persists, consult a professional for further inspection.

To replace the spark plug, first disconnect the spark plug wire. Use a spark plug wrench to remove the old spark plug. Check the gap on the new spark plug and adjust if necessary. Install the new spark plug by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with the wrench. Reattach the spark plug wire.

Uneven cutting can be caused by uneven tire pressure or a misaligned deck. Check and adjust tire pressure to ensure all tires are evenly inflated. Inspect the deck for levelness and adjust if needed. Make sure the blades are sharp and properly installed.
