Simplicity 2690736 Prestige Parts Manual

To start the Simplicity 2690736 Prestige Tractor, ensure that the parking brake is engaged, the PTO switch is off, and the throttle is set to half-speed. Turn the ignition key to the start position until the engine fires, then release the key.
If the tractor does not start, check the battery connections for corrosion, ensure that the fuel tank has fuel, verify that all safety switches are engaged, and inspect the spark plugs.
The oil should be changed every 50 hours of operation or at least once a season. Always refer to the owner's manual for the recommended oil type and quantity.
The recommended tire pressure is 10 psi for the front tires and 12 psi for the rear tires. Check the tire sidewalls or the operator's manual for specific information.
To troubleshoot uneven cutting, check that the deck is level, blades are sharp and balanced, and tire pressure is correct. Also, ensure that the ground speed is appropriate for the mowing conditions.
Regular maintenance includes changing the oil and filter, checking the air filter, inspecting belts and blades, lubricating pivot points, and checking tire pressure. Always follow the maintenance schedule in the manual.
To improve fuel efficiency, regularly maintain the engine, keep the air filter clean, ensure proper tire inflation, and operate at the recommended engine speed for the task.
If the deck belt slips off, check for worn or damaged belts, misaligned pulleys, and ensure that the belt tension is correct. Replace any damaged components as necessary.
To adjust the cutting height, use the height adjustment lever located next to the driver's seat. Refer to the decal on the tractor for the appropriate settings for various grass types and lengths.
If the tractor emits black smoke, it may indicate a clogged air filter, over-fueling, or a problem with the carburetor. Clean or replace the air filter and check the fuel system for issues.
