Simplicity 2690744 Conquest Parts Manual

To change the oil on your Simplicity 2690744 Conquest Tractor, first warm up the engine to make the oil flow more easily. Turn off the engine and remove the key. Place an oil pan under the oil drain valve and open the valve to let the oil drain completely. Replace the oil filter and close the drain valve. Refill with the recommended oil type and quantity.
If the tractor won't start, check the battery connections for tightness and corrosion. Ensure the fuel tank has fresh gasoline and the fuel valve is open. Check the spark plug for wear or damage and replace if necessary. If the problem persists, consult the owner's manual or a professional technician.
To sharpen the mower blades, first disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove the mower deck and then the blades. Secure the blade in a vice and use a file or grinder to sharpen the cutting edge, maintaining the original angle. Reinstall the blades and mower deck once sharpened.
Regular maintenance for the transmission includes checking the fluid level and condition, and changing the transmission oil as recommended in the owner's manual. Inspect the transmission belt for wear and replace it if necessary. Ensure all connections and linkages are properly adjusted and lubricated.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the cutting height adjustment lever on the tractor. Move the lever to the desired position, which will raise or lower the mower deck accordingly. Refer to the owner's manual for specific height settings recommended for various types of grass.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced or damaged mower blades. Check the blades for damage, and ensure they are properly balanced. Also, inspect the spindles and pulleys for wear or damage. Tighten any loose parts and replace any worn components.
To winterize your tractor, clean the exterior thoroughly and remove any grass and debris. Stabilize the fuel by adding a fuel stabilizer and running the engine for a few minutes. Change the oil and filter, and disconnect the battery. Store the tractor in a dry place and cover it to protect it from dust and moisture.
Start by checking the battery for charge and connections. Inspect the fuses and replace any blown fuses. Check the wiring harness for damage or loose connections. If the problem persists, consult the wiring diagram in the owner's manual or seek professional help.
The Simplicity 2690744 Conquest Tractor is designed to run on unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol to prevent engine damage. Always use fresh fuel to ensure optimal performance.
Routine maintenance should be performed according to the schedule in the owner's manual. Typically, this includes checking the oil level before each use, changing the oil and filter every 50 operating hours, and inspecting the air filter, blades, and belts regularly. Adjust as necessary based on usage and environmental conditions.
