PRE-START CHECKS

Before each start-up, check the following and/or perform
the service specified as needed.

• CHECK guards, grass bag and adapter or side discharge
chute to make sure these items are in proper position and
securely tightened. NOTE: The tab on inside rear edge of

the adapter or side chute must push the interlock spring in
toward the center of the mower. If improperly installed, the

engine cannot be started.

oCLEAN surfaces to remove dust, dirt, clippings par-

ticularly from cooling air intake screen on engine to pre-
vent overheating.

• CHECK oil level in 4-cycle engine and add oil as needed

to bring the level up to, but not over, full mark.*

• CHECK cutting height and adjust, as needed, to suit
prevailing grass conditions before starting(Refer to height
adjusting procedure on page 4).

OPERATING PROCEDURE

Keep the important safety instructions in mind when

operating the mower. For easier starting, move the mower
to an area where the cutting blade can turn free of tall

grass. Know beforehand how to stop the mower in prepara-
tion for possible emergencies. The engine (and blade) is

stopped by releasing the BLADE CONTROL or by pulling
the ENGINE CONTROL rearward to STOP position. For-

ward motion of self.propelled models is stopped by releas-
ing the WHEEL DRIVE control. Refer to figure 1 for location

of these controls.

• FILL FUEL TANK after pushing mower outdoors where
fumes will be safely dissipated. On 2-cycle engine, use the
correct fuel to oil ratio.*

*See engine manual for fuel & oil specifications.

STARTING-STOPPING ENGINE

Stop engine (& blade) by releasing the BLADE CONTROL
or pulling the ENGINE CONTROL rearward to STOP posi-

tion.
ROPE START: Since the engine cannot be started unless

the BLADE CONTROL is held against the upper handle,
use the following steps to rope start the engine. If the

engine is cold, push primer button if so equipped. Also turn
fuel valve on beforehand on engines so equipped.

1. Set ENGINE CONTROL in START or CHOKE position.

2. Place foot with toe pointing forward on top of rear tire.

3. Hold BLADE CONTROL firmly to handle.

4. Bend at waist to reach ROPE STARTER.

5. Pull rope as you straighten up to use your back more

than arm muscles.

6. Repeat pulling until engine starts, guide rope slowly

back to engine (the rope may break if allowed to snap
back), continue holding Blade Control and move behind

handles to operator's position.
ELECTRIC START: The keyswitch on electric start models

has two positions which are RUN and START. The engine
cannot be stopped at the keyswitch. Stopping is ac-

complished by either releasing the BLADE CONTROL or by
moving the ENGINE CONTROL to STOP position. To start

the engine electrically, proceed as follows: If the engine is
cold, push primer button if so equipped. Also turn fuel
valve on beforehand on engines so equipped.

1. Move ENGINE CONTROL to START or CHOKE position.

FIG 2 - MANUAL START PROCEDURE

2. Hold BLADE CONTROL firmly to handle.

3. Insert key and turn KEYSWITCH to START position and
hold until engine starts then release.

NOTE: To avoid depleting battery energy and/or

overheating the starting motor, do not crank the engine
continously for more than 5 seconds at a time. Allow brief

period between cranking attempts. It the battery charge is

too low for cranking the engine, use the rope starter. The
electric start engines have alternators to maintain suffi-
cient battery charge when the mower is used frequently.

See charging instructions on next page.

-3-

BATTERY CHARGING:A plug in battery charger is provided
which operates off 120V/60hz household current. When

recharging, disconnect battery from wiring harness, install
charger in household outlet and connect battery to

charger. If battery is weak charge for 48 hours. Charge bat-
tery for 72 hours if completely discharged.

Note: Continuous Charging will not damage battery.

MOWING PROCEDURE

Vary speed to suit grass conditions. Set the engine speed

high for tall, thick grass or lower for sparse grass. Push
hand propelled models at a speed that is comfortable but

will allow even cutting without stalling. On self propelled

models, set ground SPEED CONTROL lever in desired for-

ward speed setting, then grip the WHEEL DRIVE control

and hold against handle to engage clutch for forward mo-
tion. Releasing the WHEEL DRIVE control stops forward

motion. The mower can be hand pushed forward or in
reverse for trimming with the WHEEL DRIVE control

released. The ground speed can be changed to a new set-
ting at any time when in motion. Use low speed setting and
clutch for down-hill braking.

MOWINGIVACUUMING HINTS: The cutting deck should be

level under all conditions. As a general rule, never cut more

than 1/3 off the height of the grass. If for example, the
grass has grown to 4 inches tall, set the mower height lat-

ches in the lowest position which establishes the cutting

height at approximately 3" (see cutting height chart)

thereby, cutting about 718" off the grass and staying well
within the 1/3 off limit. If you want the grass shorter, wait a

few days then recut to the lower height. If cut too short, the
grass will expend more energy for development of new leaf
structures and less for a healthy root system and will be

more subject to burning. On the other hand, if allowed to

grow too long, the lower portion will be shaded and, as a

result will discolor. In dry periods, allow the grass to grow
longer than you normally would. NOTE: Do not mow across

an area where dry type fertilizer has just been spread as
most of the fertilizer will be vacuumed up.

Change your mowing pattern from time to time for a

smoother cut lawn. Finely chopped clippings add nutrients

to the soil to promote grass growth, however if the clipp-

ings become too heavy, they mat to form thatch which
prevents proper breathing and holds moisture. If thatch is

particularly heavy, the Thatcherizer accessory described
on the back page will do an effective job of dislodging the
decaying matter. To prevent grass disease from thatch,

vacuuming and bagging is recommended for most cut-
tings along with an occasional broadcasting of the clipp-

ings into the lawn for nutritive value. Your Snapper can be

quickly converted back and forth from bagging to side
discharge with the accessories.

FIG. 3 - CUTTING HEIGHT SETTINGS

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Always stop the engine and wait until the mower blade
comes to a complete halt before readjusting the cutting

height! To readjust, move the height adjusting latch on

each wheel outward and slide each, one notch at a time, to
the position desired. Positioning the latches in the highest

notch sets the mower at the lowest cutting height while
the lowest notches sets it in the highest cutting position.

Refer to figure 3 for the approximate cutting height afford.
ed by each of the five latch positions: For best results, set

both latches on one side first, then go to the other side and
set these latches into corresponding notches. Before

resetting the rear latches into lower notches, lift the
weight of mower off'the rear wheels first by pulling up on
the handle, then reset.

To install the KWIK-N-EZY grass catcher on the mower,

slide the connector down over the adapter flange then
lower the support flame hooks onto the middle handle (see

figure 4). When the catcher becomes full, stop engine and
lift the support hooks up over the handle then lift the con-
nector off and continue lifting while moving the catcher

forward until the bagclears the mower. To empty the bag,

raise the connector end up and release the handle of the

door flap. Shake the catcher back and forth to dump the

clippings.

TO EMPTY IN TRASH BAG: Use the following procedure to empty

clippings in trash bag. After removing catcher from mower, place
connector erid on ground, open door flap, slip trash bag over the

catcher, turn catcher over so that large opening is down inside
bag, !ift catcher by connector and door handles and shake until
clippings are dUmped in the trash bag.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

The mower itself requires very little service, however, it is
important that the engine be serviced at the intervals

specified in the engine manual furnished with your mower.
When performing any services on the mower, always

disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug to pre-
vent unintentional starting. When tipping the mower to
work on the underside, always tilt with spark plug up to

prevent flooding the engine with gasoline and oil which

would cause hard starting after servicing. NOTE: On
Tecumseh powered units, comply with the following rules

to prevent oil from entering the air cleaner and ruining the

dry element (1) DO NOT keep engine in tilted position for

more than 5 minutes. (2) DO NOT crank engine or turn

blade while tilted (3) DO NOT tilt plug up more than 90
degrees.

To retain the quality of your mower, use Genui'ne Snapper
Replacement Parts only. To obtain the correct part for your

particular mower, always specify model and serial number
as found on nameplate. Contact your local Snapper Dealer

for parts and service assistance. We recommend returning
your mower to an authorized Snapper Dealer on a yearly

basis for inspection and addition of any new devices which
might upgrade the safety of your mower. For the nearest

Snapper Dealer, check the yellow pages under the heading
LAWN MOWERS.

LUBRICATION SERVICES

ENGINE- Change oil every 25 hours as specified in engine
manual.

TRANSMISSION(Self.Propelled Models). Remove plug and

check every 25 hours of operation. If grease is not visible
on the input gear, add small amount of Snapper "00"

grease, CAUTION: Avoid over lubricating, capacity not to
exceed 2 ounces of grease. Snapper "OO" grease is
available in a convenient quart size container (Part No.

1-1050) at your Snapper dealer. Replace plug after servic-
ing transmission.

MOVING PARTS - Occasionally put a few drops of oil on
movable surfaces of components such as the height ad-

justing levers, wheel axles, shift levers, etc. Be careful not
to spill oil on surface of drive disc on self-propelled

models.

CUTTING BLADE SERVICE

CAUTION: Before checking or doing any work on the blade,

disconnect the spark plug wire and secure it away from the
plug to prevent unintentional starting.

CHECK at frequent intervals to make sure the blade is
securely tightened and that it is in good condition.

REPLACE blade if badly chipped, bent, out of balance or
as soon as a notch starts wearing in the tip between the
flat surface and upturned lift as depicted in View B, Figure

6. This type wear pattern occurs more rapidly under sandy
soil conditions. CAUTION: Never operate the mower with
blade worn to the extent shown in View C as the tip could

fly off causing personal injury or property damage.
SHARPEN blade when the cutting edges become dull if the
blade is in otherwise good condition. Sharpen blade on a
grinding wheel at a angle of 22 to 28 degrees. The cutting
surface should extend in.about 31/2" from the tips. Check
the blade after sharpening to determine that it is still

balanced. It will cause excessive vibration if unbalanced.

BE CAREFUL: AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF ON SHARP
BLADE! Protect your hands from cuts while handling

blade
INSTALL blade with components in sequence shown in

Figure 7. Make sure that the turned-up rims in the center of
the blade fit over the edges of the blade drive hub when in-

stalling. Do no substitute any components here. Tighten
the blade retaining capscrew 20 to 30 foot pounds torque

value.

Make sure the vinylcover remains over the spring(s)con-
necting the clutch pull rodto the clutch idler components

(see Figure 8). This not only keeps the spring clean but

preventsit from rubbing against and wearing a hole in the

grass bag on mowers so equipped.
ADJUSTMENTS: If excessive pressure is required to hold

the wheel drive clutch lever in the engaged or drive posi.
tion, the clutch pull rodsprings are probably out of adjust-

ment. This is checked with the engine stopped and the

clutch handle released. When properly adjusted there
should be 1/16" to 1/8" clearance between the inside hook

of the spring and inside eye of the push rod as shown in

Figure 8. To adjust, unhookand rotate the inner and outer

springs in opposite direction, rehookand check clearance.

Repeat this procedure until the clearance is correct. If the

wheel drive control does not snap back to disengage the

drive when the handle is released, check the clip holding

the pull rodto the handle bar for binding. Position this clip

about 5" from the upper handle and rotate to best position
to allow the rod to slide without interference.

DRIVEN DISC SERVICE

If the mower does not pull properly with the wheel drive
clutch engaged, check for the following: Grease on drive

disc causing slippage, broken or disconnected driven
assembly spring (see Figure 10), driven disc too worn to

contact the drive disc properly, driven disc out rof adjust-
merit.This condition could also be caused byworn belts. If

the belts are in good condition and the clutch is properly
adjusted, service the drive system as follows:

DRIVEN DISC ADJUSTMENT: With the engine stopped and

the speed lever shifted into highest speed setting, the

driven disc should be 1/8" to 1/4" from the center of the
drive disc as illustrated in Figure 9. Readjust with engine

stopped as follows: Shift the speed selector into the

highest speed setting, loosen the connector hex nut and

slide the driven disc assembly inward or outward until the

center is 1/8" to 1/4" from the edge of the drive disc.
Retighten connector nut to lock at new setting.

DRIVEN DISC REPLACEMENT: If the rubberof driven disc
is badlychunked or worn downto within 1/16" of the metal
rim, remove the driven, disc assembly and replace the

driven disc as follows: Remove the clip and detach the
transfer rod from the speed control lever(Figure 10),Using

a pair of needle nose pliers, unhook the drive spring and
slide the driven disc assembly off as shown in Figure 11 .
Remove the five machine screws securing the rubber

driven disc and separate the worn disc from the hub.

Reversethis procedureto install the replacement disc and

to reconnect the drivecomponents.

BEARING REPLACEMENT: If the bearing fails, remove the
driven disc assembly as described above and replace the
bearing as follows: Remove the snap ring using special

snap ring pliers. Slide the driven ring, hub and bushing out
of the bearing. Remove the four screws and bearing.

Reverse this procedure to install the replacement bearing
and reconnect the drive components.

BELT SERVICE

Slippage of worn belts will cause self-propelled models to
pull poorly. On these the engine belt transmits this power

to the poly-V-belt which, in turn, engages the clutch to
drive the transmission and rear drive wheels.

ENGINE BELT REPLACEMENT: Disconnect the spark plug

wire and empty the fuel tank or tape the vents in the filler

cap to prevent fuel spillage then proceed as follows:
Unhook the idler arm spring from the right rear wheel
bracket and remove the driven dic assembly as described
under DRIVEN DISC service. Tilt the mower up on its right

wheels and removethe cutting blade and hub,then remove
the drive disc retaining nut and internal tooth Iockwasher.

Lift the drive disc-idler assembly off the deck and remove

faulty belt. Loopend of replacement belt over engine drive

belt around driven pulley then push the drive, disc-idler

assembly down into position on the deck. Install the inter-

nal tooth Iockwasher and disc retaining nut on the drive

disc stud and securely tighten these. Test to make sure the

idler arm is free to pivot without interference then reinstall

the cutting blade components (refer to BLADE SERVICE),
driven disc assembly, then using a stiff wire(Hint: coat

hanger) with hooked end, pull the hooked end of the idler

arm spring through the larger hole in the right wheel

bracket and hook the end through the smaller hole.

POLY V-BELT REPLACEMENT:This belt can be replaced
after removing the driven disc assembly as described

earlier. Note the arrangement of old belt around pulleys
before cutting and removing it. Slip the replacement belt

over the end of hex shaft pulley and work over idler pulley.
Twist the belt sideways and pull it upward between the dif-
ferential bracket and transmission pulley. Slip belt over
grooves in the hex shaft, clutch idler and transmission

pulleys. Note: When properly installed, the lower span of
the Poly V-Belt will be above the belt guide.

STORAGE PROCEDURE

Prepare your mower for Storage at the end of the mowing
season as follows. (Refer to the engine manual for direc-
tions for preserving engine). With the spark plug wire

disconnected, turn the mower on its side and thorougly

clean underside of deck. Scrape away grass with putty

knife and/or wire brush then wash down with water from a

hose. WARNING: Tape openings closed to prevent spray-

ing water into exhaust or air intake while washing. Clean

external surfaces of mower and allow to dry, then lubricate

all exposed metal with a light coating of oil to prevent cor-

rosion. Make sure grass bag is completely emptied to pre-

vent decay and formation of mold while in storage. The

grass bag may be washed in detergent but allow it to dry

thoroughly. Store mower during off season in a storage sh-

ed or dry area protected from weather. Handles on push

models can be tilted forward for storage by loosening

wingnuts--do not kink cables!
