TRAINING

-- Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the man-

ual and on the unit before starting. If the operator(s) or
mechanic(s) can not read English it is the owner's responsi-
bility to explain this material to them.

-- Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment,
operator controls, and safety signs.

--All operators and mechanics should be trained. The
owner is responsible for training the users.

-- Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the
instructions, to operate the unit.

-- Never let children or untrained people operate or service
the equipment. Local regulations may restrict the age of the

operator.

-- The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for acci-
dents or injuries occurring to themselves, other people or

property.

PREPARATION

-- Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and

attachments are needed to properly and safely perform the

job. Use only accessories and attachments approved by

the manufacturer.

-- Wear appropriate clothing including safety shoes, safety
glasses and ear protection. Long hair, loose clothing or jew-
elry may get tangled in moving parts.

-- Inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and
remove all objects such as rocks, toys and wire, which can
be thrown by the machine.

-- Use extra care when handling gasoline and other fuels.
They are flammable and vapors are explosive.
a) Use only an approved container.
b) Never remove fuel cap or add fuel with the engine run-
ning. Allow engine to cool before refueling. Do not smoke.
c) Never refuel or drain the machine indoors.

-- Check that operator's presence controls, safety switches
and shields are attached and functioning properly. Do not
operate unless they are functioning properly.

OPERATION

-- Never run an engine in an enclosed area.

-- Operate only in the daylight or with good artificial light,
keeping away from holes and hidden hazards.

-- Be sure of your footing while using pedestrian controlled
equipment, especially when backing up. Walk, don't run.

-- Do not operate in reverse unless absolutely necessary.

Always look down and behind before and while traveling in

reverse.

-- Be aware of the blower discharge direction and do not
point it at anyone. Do not operate the blower without hose
and bagger hood in place.

-- Never leave a running unit unattended. Always stop

engine before leaving unit.

-- Never operate with guards not securely in place. Be sure
all safety features are attached, adjusted properly and func-
tioning properly.

-- Never operate with the hose or hood removed or altered.

-- Do not change the engine governor setting or over speed
the engine.

-- Stop on level ground, shut off engine before leaving the
operator's position for any reason.

hol or drugs.

-- Use caution when crossing roads and sidewalks. Stop
engine if not blowing.

-- Use care when loading or unloading the machine into a
trailer or truck.

-- Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees
or other objects that may obscure vision.

SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-
over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.
All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the
slope, or if you feel uneasy on it, do not drive on it.

Do

-- Mow up and down slopes, never across face.

-- Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.

-- Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could
overturn the unit. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

-- Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do
not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

Do Not

-- Do not start or stop on a slope. If tires lose traction, pro-
ceed slowly straight down the slope.

-- Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

-- Do not use near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The
operator could lose footing or balance or blower could sud-
denly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch,
or if an edge caves in.

-- Do not operate on slopes with wet grass. Reduced foot-
ing or traction could cause sliding.

-- Do not operate machine on slopes in excess of 10
degrees (18% grade) when equiped with a grass catcher.

-- Do not operate machine without weight kit installed when
equiped with a grass catcher.

CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the unit

and its activity. Never assume that children will remain
where you last saw them.

-- Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.

-- Do not allow children or others to ride on the machine,
attachment, or towed equipment (even with the blades off).

-- Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.

-- Before and during reverse operation, look behind and
down for small children.

-- Never allow children to operate the unit.

-- Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

EMISSIONS

-- Engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals
known, in certain quantities, to cause cancer, birth defects,
or other reproductive harm.

-- Look for the relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air
Index information on the engine emissions label.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

--Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling practices
when refueling the unit after transportation or storage.

-- Always follow the engine manual instructions for storage
preparations before storing the unit for both short and long
term periods.

--Always follow the engine manual instructions for proper
start-up procedures when returning the unit to service.

-- Never store the machine or fuel container inside where
there is an open flame, such as in a water heater. Allow unit

to cool before storing.

-- Shut off fuel while storing or transporting. Do not store fuel

INTRODUCTION

Follow operation and maintenance instructions in the
Operator's Manual provided with the Snapper CZT/HZT.

GRASS CATCHER OPERATION

1. Select desired cutting height. Choose a setting that will

not attempt to cut off too much at once, overloading the
machine.

2. After starting engine and allowing a brief warm up peri-
od, move engine speed control to highest setting.

3. Drive machine to cutting area. Engage blades.

4. Select a slow forward ground speed until familiar with
conditions. Do not select a speed that is too fast, caus-
ing the machine to become overloaded.

5. The weight of the grass catcher and contents will affect
the stability and handling of the machine. Avoid sudden
starts and sharp turns. Reduce speed on slopes, and
DO NOT operate machine on slopes exceeding 10
degrees (18% grade). Operate machine up and down
slopes. DO NOT operate machine across the face of
slopes. Turn blades off when traveling up slope.

6. Empty grass catcher bags often to minimize effect on
stability and handling. Over filling the catcher bags will
reduce performance and cause clogging of the hose,

blower and deck.

7. Do not operate the machine with the Grass Catcher
cover open. The entire Grass Catcher must be installed,
the cover closed and latched properly before operating.

EMPTYING GRASS CATCHER

1. Empty Grass Catcher bags often to avoid overfilling.

Overfilling reduces performance and causes clogging of
hose, blower and deck.

2. Turn blades off. Drive machine to location the clippings
are to be dumped. DO NOT operate blades in reverse.
If you must back machine to dump clippings in desired

location, LOOK and SEE behind and down for children,
pets and hazards before and while backing.

3. Stop motion of machine by returning Motion Control(s)
to Neutral (N). Set Park Brake. Stop engine.

4. Unlatch cover and lift. Remove bags and dump debris
in desired location.

5. After dumping, to maintain peak performance, check
the catcher screen located on the inside of the Cover

Assembly to make sure it is clean and free of any build

up. Clean as required with brush or broom.

6. Close catcher cover and latch.

7. Re-start engine and drive machine to cutting area. Set
engine speed to highest setting, engage blades and
resume operation.

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to remove any clogs from deck, blow-
er, or hose with engine or blade running. STOP engine.
STOP blades. Set brake. Remove key. Make sure
blades and all rotating components have come to a
complete stop before removing any catcher or unclog-
ging any catcher component.

IF THE GRASS CATCHER BECOMES CLOGGED

The grass catcher may become plugged if the conditions
are too severe, the catcher is overfilled, or the machine is

used improperly. If plugging does occur, attempt the follow-
ing:

1. Engine speed too slow - set engine speed control to
"FAST" position.

2. Empty catcher bags more often.

3. Clean screen on cover assembly.

4. Ground speed too fast - cut at slower speed.

5. Removing too much grass - raise cutting height, cut
partial width, and cut lawn more frequently.

6. Grass is too wet from rain or dew - allow grass to dry.

7. Blades are dull or worn - inspect blades and replace as
necessary. Use only genuine SNAPPER replacement

blades.

8. Deck, blower, or hose has clipping build up - clean all
clippings from all internal surfaces.

WARNING

DO NOT put fingers or hands inside blower! STOP
blades. STOP engine. Remove key. Use only a stick, or
other suitable means, to clear the blower of clogs or

other obstructions!

k, WARNING

DO NOT attempt any adjustments, maintenance or
repairs with engine running. STOP blades. STOP
engine. Remove key.

WARNING

Grass Catcher components are subject to deteriora- I
tion. Inspect frequently. Replace worn or damaged I

components immediately. Use only genuine SNAPPER I
replacement parts. I

GRASS CATCHER MAINTENANCE
Grass Catcher components are subject to wear and deteri-

oration during normal usage. Inspect all components fre-
quently for signs of wear and deterioration. Replace worn or
damaged components immediately.

2. Catcher. Inspect all catcher components. Replace all
worn or damaged parts.

3. Catcher Bags. Check bags often for wear or damage.
Replace worn or damaged bags immediately, using only
SNAPPER approved replacement bags.

4. Deck, Blower, Hose. Clean grass build up from deck,
blower, hose, covers and rear cover screen. To maintain

peak performance make sure screen is clean at each
dumping.

5. Hose. Check hose for wear, tears and holes. Replace
as needed.

6. Blades. Check blades for sharpness, wear, flatness
and damage. Refer to CZT/HZT Operator's Manual for
blade wear limits and sharpening/replacement instruc-

tions.

7. Blower. Check blower impeller, blower housing and
inlet/outlets for signs of wear and deterioration. Replace

as needed. Check all fasteners and hardware to insure
none are missing and all are tightened securely.

Lubricate impeller shaft bearings with 1 to 3 shots of
General Purpose grease from a grease gun.

8. Belts. Check belts for wear and fraying. Replace as
needed.

9. Idler Arm. Check idler arm to insure it pivots freely and
bushings are not worn. Replace worn bushings as

needed.

All transportation costs incurred by the purchaser in submitting material to an authorized SNAPPER dealer for replace-
ment under this warranty must be paid by the purchaser.

This warranty does not apply to certain transmissions, to engines and their components, and batteries, as these items are
warranted separately. This warranty does not apply to parts that have been damaged by accident, alteration, abuse,
improper lubrication, normal wear, or other cause beyond the control of SNAPPER. This warranty does not cover any
machine or component part that has been altered or modified changing safety, performance, or durability.

date. SNAPPER will not be responsible for any installation cost incurred. The battery warranty only covers original equip-
ment batteries and does not cover damage to the battery or machine caused by neglect or abuse, destruction by fire,

use and to the extent permitted by law, any and all implied warranties are excluded. This is the exclusive remedy. Liabilities
for consequential damages, under any and all warranties are excluded.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
