To start the Simplicity 2690818 Conquest Tractor, ensure that the tractor is in neutral, engage the parking brake, and turn the ignition key to the start position until the engine fires. Release the key once the engine starts.
If the engine does not start, check the fuel level, ensure the battery is charged, and inspect the spark plug for wear or damage. Also, ensure the safety features like seat and brake switches are engaged.
It is recommended to change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at least once per season. Use the oil type specified in the owner's manual for optimal performance.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using fuel with more than 10% ethanol content to prevent damage to the engine.
Ensure the blades are sharp and balanced. Regularly clean the underside of the mower deck to prevent grass buildup. Adjust the cutting height to match lawn conditions.
Check the tire pressure on all wheels and adjust if necessary. Inspect the steering linkage for wear or damage and ensure the front wheels are properly aligned.
Routine maintenance includes checking and changing the oil and filters, inspecting belts and blades, checking tire pressure, and cleaning the engine and mower deck. Refer to the manual for a detailed schedule.
Uncut strips can be caused by dull blades, incorrect cutting height, or uneven ground. Ensure the blades are sharp and balanced, adjust the deck height, and mow on level ground.
To winterize, clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, add fuel stabilizer, remove the battery, and store it in a dry, sheltered location. Cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
First, ensure the tractor is on a flat surface and the engine is off. Remove the deck, secure the blade with a block of wood, and loosen the bolt. Replace the blade, ensuring it is correctly oriented, then tighten the bolt securely.
