Simplicity 2691014 Regent Parts Manual

To start the Simplicity 2691014 Regent Tractor, ensure that the parking brake is engaged, the PTO switch is in the "Off" position, and the throttle is set to mid-range. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the "Start" position until the engine fires up. Release the key immediately once the engine starts.
If the engine won't start, check the battery connections and ensure the battery is charged. Verify that the fuel tank has gas, and the fuel shut-off valve is open. Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Ensure that all safety switches are properly engaged.
To change the oil, warm up the engine for a few minutes, then turn it off and remove the key. Place an oil pan under the engine, remove the oil drain plug, and allow the oil to completely drain. Replace the drain plug, remove the oil filter, and install a new one. Refill the engine with the recommended oil type and amount.
Follow a maintenance schedule that includes checking the oil and filters every 25 hours, inspecting the air filter every 50 hours, and sharpening or replacing the mower blades as needed. It's also important to regularly check tire pressure and ensure all belts and pulleys are in good condition.
Uneven cutting may be caused by an improperly leveled deck, dull blades, or incorrect tire pressure. Ensure the deck is level from side to side and front to back. Sharpen or replace the blades if needed and adjust tire pressure according to the manufacturer's specifications.
If the mower deck fails to engage, check the PTO switch and ensure it's functioning correctly. Inspect the drive belt for wear or damage and ensure it's properly tensioned. Verify that all safety switches are operational and not obstructed.
The air filter should be checked every 50 hours of operation and replaced if it's dirty or damaged. Operating in dusty conditions may require more frequent inspections and replacements.
It is not recommended to use the tractor in wet conditions as it can lead to poor traction and potential damage to the lawn. Wait until the ground is dry to ensure optimal performance and safety.
For off-season storage, clean the tractor thoroughly, remove any debris, and ensure the fuel system is stabilized. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Keep the tractor in a covered area to protect it from the elements.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on the tractor. Move the lever to the desired cutting height position, ensuring that both sides of the deck are adjusted equally for an even cut.
