Simplicity 2690957-01 Legacy XL Parts Manual

To perform routine maintenance, regularly check and change the oil, replace air filters, inspect belts and blades, and ensure all nuts and bolts are tightened. Refer to the manual for specific intervals and procedures.
If the tractor won't start, check the battery connections, ensure the fuel tank has gas, inspect the spark plug, and examine the ignition switch for faults.
Ensure the blades are sharp and balanced. Adjust the deck height according to the grass type and mowing conditions, and mow at a speed that allows the blades to cut efficiently.
To change the oil, warm up the engine, turn it off, and place a pan under the drain plug. Remove the plug, drain the oil, and replace the plug. Add new oil as per the specifications in the manual.
Check the transmission fluid level and ensure it is filled to the recommended level. Inspect the drive belt for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
Replace the air filter every 100 hours of operation or once a season, whichever comes first. Check more frequently if operating in dusty conditions.
Inspect the PTO switch and fuse. Check the belt for wear or damage, and ensure the deck is free from debris that may hinder blade movement.
Regularly clean the engine fins and radiator to ensure proper cooling. Check and maintain coolant levels and ensure the fan and belts are functioning properly.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, perform all scheduled maintenance, add a fuel stabilizer to the gas tank, and store in a dry, covered area. Disconnect the battery if storing for an extended period.
Check for unbalanced or damaged blades, ensure all bolts and screws are tightened, and inspect the drive belt for wear. Replace any damaged parts as necessary.
