Simplicity 990395 Landlord 2010 Parts Manual

To change the oil, first run the engine for a few minutes to warm it up, which helps in draining. Turn off the engine and remove the key. Locate the oil drain plug, place an oil drain pan beneath it, and remove the plug to allow old oil to drain completely. Replace the plug, then remove the oil filter with an oil filter wrench. Install a new oil filter and refill the engine with the recommended oil type and quantity. Check the oil level with the dipstick.

Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol or any methanol blends, as they can damage the engine.

First, ensure the battery is fully charged and terminals are clean and tightly connected. Check the fuel level and ensure the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage and replace it if necessary. Verify that safety switches, such as the seat switch, are functioning correctly. If the problem persists, consult the owner's manual or a professional technician.

Blades should be sharpened every 25 hours of use or at least once per mowing season. If you notice uneven cutting or torn grass tips, it's time to sharpen the blades. Always disconnect the spark plug before servicing the blades and follow safety precautions.

The recommended tire pressure for the Simplicity 990395 Landlord 2010 Tractor is typically between 10 to 14 psi for the front tires and 8 to 12 psi for the rear tires. Check your owner's manual for specific recommendations.

To clean the air filter, remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. If it's a paper filter, tap it gently to remove loose dirt. If it's a foam filter, wash it with mild soap and water, then allow it to dry completely before reinstalling. Replace the filter if it's damaged or excessively dirty.

Check if the deck is level and adjust if necessary. Inspect the blades for damage or dullness and sharpen or replace them as needed. Ensure that the tire pressure is correct and that grass buildup under the deck is cleared.

Adjust the cutting height by using the height adjustment lever located on the side of the tractor. Move the lever to the desired position to raise or lower the deck to the preferred cutting height. Ensure the tractor is on a level surface when making adjustments.

Maintenance intervals include changing the engine oil every 50 hours, checking the air filter every 25 hours, inspecting belts every 25 hours, and cleaning the deck after each use. Regularly check tire pressure and battery charge as well. Refer to the owner's manual for a detailed maintenance schedule.

Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced or damaged blades, loose bolts, or worn-out belts. Inspect and balance or replace blades, tighten any loose components, and replace worn belts. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.
