Simplicity 2691311-00 Prestige Parts Manual

Routine maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, replacing the air filter, sharpening or replacing mower blades, checking tire pressure, and lubricating moving parts. Refer to the owner's manual for a detailed maintenance schedule.
Ensure the battery is charged and connections are clean. Check the fuel level and ensure the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plugs and replace if necessary. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, add fuel stabilizer, remove the battery, and store it in a dry, sheltered place. Cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
Uneven cutting may be due to a dull or unbalanced blade, improper tire pressure, or an uneven mowing deck. Check and adjust these components to ensure a smooth cut.
Regular maintenance, such as keeping the air filter clean, maintaining proper tire pressure, and using the recommended grade of oil, can improve fuel efficiency. Avoid overloading the tractor and operate at optimal speeds.
Consult the owner's manual for the manufacturer's oil specifications. Typically, a high-quality SAE 30 oil is recommended for summer, and a multi-viscosity oil like 10W-30 for winter conditions.
Check the coolant level and ensure the radiator is clean and unobstructed. Inspect the fan belt for wear and proper tension. If overheating persists, consult a technician.
Check the transmission fluid level and quality. Ensure the drive belt is intact and properly tensioned. If problems continue, the transmission may need servicing by a professional.
To adjust the mower deck, park the tractor on a flat surface, and use the height adjustment lever to set the desired height. Check that the deck is level side-to-side and front-to-back. Adjust as necessary using the leveling links.
Signs include difficulty starting, dim lights, corrosion around the terminals, and a battery that won't hold a charge. If these symptoms occur, test the battery and replace if necessary.
