Simplicity 2691280-00 Prestige Parts Manual

Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, replacing the air filter, inspecting the belts, sharpening the blades, and lubricating moving parts. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions and intervals.
If the tractor won't start, check the battery connections, ensure the fuel tank has fuel, inspect the spark plug, and verify that the safety switches are engaged. If the problem persists, consult a technician.
Uneven cutting can be caused by dull blades, incorrect tire pressure, or an improperly leveled deck. Sharpen the blades, check and adjust tire pressure, and level the deck as needed.
To change the oil, run the engine briefly to warm it, turn it off, and drain the old oil. Replace the oil filter and refill with the recommended type and amount of oil. Check for leaks after replacing the oil cap.
Clean the tractor, change the oil, add fuel stabilizer, and disconnect the battery. Store it in a dry, covered area to protect it from the elements.
If the blades do not engage, check the PTO switch and ensure it is in the proper position. Inspect the belt for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Also, verify that the safety switches are functioning correctly.
To adjust the cutting height, use the cutting height adjustment lever located near the operator's seat. Refer to the manual for specific height settings and instructions.
Overheating can occur due to a clogged air filter, low coolant levels, or debris blocking the cooling fins. Clean or replace the air filter, check coolant levels, and clear any debris from the cooling system.
The air filter should be inspected before each use and replaced every 100 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. Replace more frequently if used in dusty conditions.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol to prevent engine damage.
