Simplicity 2691278-00 Regent Parts Manual

To start the tractor, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO switch is in the 'OFF' position, and the transmission is in neutral. Turn the ignition key clockwise to the 'START' position until the engine starts, then release.
The Simplicity 2691278-00 Regent Tractor typically requires SAE 30 or 10W-30 motor oil. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific recommendations based on operating conditions.
Check the battery connections, ensure the fuel valve is open, verify the spark plug is functional, and confirm that the safety switches are engaged. If issues persist, consult the service manual or contact a professional.
First, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Lower the mower deck and remove the belt covers. Release the belt tension and remove the old belt. Install the new belt following the deck routing diagram. Reattach the belt covers and reconnect the spark plug wire.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, add a fuel stabilizer to the tank, and store the tractor in a dry, sheltered area. Disconnect the battery and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure.
Check the mower blades for sharpness and balance. Clean the underside of the deck to remove any grass buildup. Ensure the tire pressure is correct and that the deck is level. Replace or sharpen blades as necessary.
Use the height adjustment lever located on the fender. Move the lever to the desired cutting height position. Ensure the deck is level after adjustment for optimal performance.
Signs include difficulty in shifting gears, unusual noises, reduced speed or power, and leaks from the transmission housing. If these symptoms occur, inspect and address the issue promptly.
Locate the air filter housing, remove the cover, and take out the old air filter. Insert a new filter ensuring it is seated properly, then replace the cover securely.
Perform regular maintenance every 50 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. This includes oil changes, air filter replacement, blade sharpening, and checking tire pressure. Refer to the owner's manual for a detailed schedule.
