Why is my Simplicity RT Lawn Mower vibrating excessively?
If your Simplicity Lawn Mower is vibrating excessively, check if the blade mounting screws are loose and tighten them to 45-55 ft.lbs. (61-75 N.m.). Inspect the mower blades, arbors, or pulleys for any bending and replace if necessary. Also, make sure the mower blades are balanced, replacing them if they are not. Finally, ensure the belt is installed correctly.

If your Simplicity Lawn Mower won't raise, check if the lift linkage is properly attached or damaged and attach or repair it.
Why is the cut uneven on my Simplicity Lawn Mower?

Why is there excessive belt wear or breakage on my Simplicity RT?
If your Simplicity Lawn Mower experiences excessive belt wear or breakage, inspect the pulleys for bends or roughness and repair or replace them as needed. Ensure you are using the correct belt and replace it if necessary.
Why does my Simplicity RT steer hard or handle poorly?

Why does Simplicity RT Lawn Mower drive belt slip or fail to drive?
If your Simplicity Lawn Mower drive belt slips or fails to drive, check if the idler pulley spring is broken or not properly attached, and repair or replace it as needed. Inspect the belt stops and check the PTO clutch adjustment. If the mower drive belt is broken, replace it.
Why is my Simplicity RT Lawn Mower consuming excessive oil?
If your Simplicity Lawn Mower is consuming oil excessively, it could be due to several reasons. The engine might be running too hot, so clean the engine fins, blower screen, air cleaner, and radiator screen. You might be using the wrong weight oil (refer to the engine manual), or there might be too much oil in the crankcase, so drain the excess oil.
What to do if Simplicity RT engine runs, but tractor will not drive?
If your Simplicity Lawn Mower engine runs but the tractor won't drive, ensure the ground speed control pedals are depressed and that the transmission release lever is in the drive position, not the “push” position. Also, check if the parking brake is engaged and disengage it. For a broken drive belt, see Drive Belt Replacement. If the drive belt slips, see cause and remedy below.
Why won't my Simplicity Lawn Mower engine turn over?
If your Simplicity Lawn Mower's engine won't turn over, make sure you are sitting in the seat and that the brake pedal is fully depressed. Ensure the PTO (electric clutch) switch is in the OFF position and that the cruise control is disengaged (lever in Neutral). Check if the circuit breaker has tripped, waiting a minute for an automatic reset, or replacing it if necessary. If these steps don't work, the battery terminals may need cleaning (refer to the Battery Maintenance Section), or the battery might be discharged or dead, requiring a recharge or replacement. For faulty solenoids, starter motors, or safety interlock switches, consult your dealer.
