To start the Simplicity 2690746 Conquest Tractor, ensure the transmission is in neutral, the parking brake is engaged, and the PTO is off. Insert the key and turn it to the start position. Release the key once the engine starts.
Use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and 10W-30 for temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Always check the owner's manual for the recommended oil specifications.
Check the battery connections and ensure they are tight and free of corrosion. Verify that the fuel tank has gas and that the fuel valve is open. Ensure the spark plug is functioning properly and replace if necessary.
The recommended tire pressure for the front tires is 14 psi and for the rear tires is 10 psi. Always refer to the tire sidewall for the maximum pressure and adjust accordingly for optimal performance.
The air filter should be checked every 25 hours of operation and replaced every 100 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Operating in dusty conditions may require more frequent changes.
To winterize, clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, add a fuel stabilizer to the gas tank, and store the battery in a cool, dry place. Cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
Park the tractor on a level surface. Adjust the deck height using the lift lever and verify with a deck leveling gauge. Adjust the leveling links on both sides of the deck until it's level with the ground.
Check the PTO switch and wiring for damage or disconnection. Inspect the PTO clutch for wear and ensure it is properly adjusted. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.
Regular maintenance such as changing the oil, air filter, and spark plug can improve fuel efficiency. Keep the tires properly inflated and avoid excessive idling. Use the recommended fuel type and grade.
Stop the tractor immediately and turn off the engine. Allow it to cool down before checking the coolant level and radiator for blockages. Clean the debris from the cooling fins and ensure proper airflow.
