Ensure the tractor is on a level surface. Sit in the operator's seat and set the parking brake. Move the throttle lever to the 'start' position. Turn the ignition key to the 'start' position until the engine starts, then release the key.
Check if there is fuel in the tank. Ensure the battery is charged and the connections are clean. Verify that the spark plug is in good condition and replace it if necessary. Make sure the safety switches are engaged properly.
Regularly clean the mower deck to prevent grass buildup. Sharpen the blades at least once per season. Check the belt for wear and replace it if needed. Lubricate the spindles and check the deck's tire pressure.
Use SAE 10W-30 oil for the Simplicity 990954 Tractor. Ensure the oil meets API service classification SJ or higher.
Check if the mower deck is level. Inspect the blades for damage and ensure they are sharp. Verify the tire pressure is even on all sides. Examine the deck belt for proper tension.
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 50 hours of operation or at the start of each season, whichever comes first.
Check the transmission fluid level and add fluid if necessary. Inspect the drive belt for wear and replace it if needed. Ensure the linkage and controls are properly adjusted.
Consider adding wheel weights or tire chains for improved traction. Check the tire treads for wear and replace tires if necessary. Adjust the ballast for better weight distribution.
Clean the tractor thoroughly and apply a protective wax. Change the oil and replace the fuel filter. Add a fuel stabilizer to the tank. Disconnect the battery and store it in a warm location. Cover the tractor to protect it from the elements.
Locate the air filter housing, remove the cover, and take out the old filter. Insert a new filter and secure the cover back in place. Ensure the filter is seated properly to prevent dust and debris from entering the engine.
