Section 3 – MAINTENANCE

3.1INTRODUCTION

To retain the quality of the mower, use genuine SNAPPER replacement parts only. Contact a local SNAPPER dealer for parts and service assistance. For the correct part or information for a particular mower, always mention model and serial number.

WARNING

DO NOT attempt any maintenance, adjustments or service with engine and blade running. STOP engine and blade. Disconnect spark plug wire and secure away from spark plug. Engine and components are HOT. Avoid serious burns, allow sufficient time for all components to cool.

3.2SERVICE - AFTER FIRST 5 HOURS 3.2.1. CHANGE ENGINE OIL

1.Refer to Engine Manual for proper oil specifications, procedures and proper service intervals.

3.The Honda engine is equipped with an oil drain plug located above the deck on the right side of the engine. See Figure 3.1. Allow sufficient time for all oil to drain. Reinstall plug and tighten securely.

OIL DRAIN PLUG

FIGURE 3.1

On Kawasaki engines, the oil drain plug is located in a spot that will prove both inconvenient and messy for draining oil. For simplest/cleanest oil change on either Honda or Kawasaki models, simply tip mower on its side. See Figure 3.2. Drain oil through dipstick tube into a container. Allow sufficient time for all oil to drain.

IMPORTANT: Drain fuel tank before tipping machine. DO NOT tip machine with carburetor or spark plug down. Oil from crankcase will saturate the air filter and cause the engine to be hard to start or not start at all. If contamination does occur, the air filter will have to be replaced.
