Maintenance - Introduction

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 the model and serial number.

Check Grease Level in Transmission

1.Remove the transmission fill plug (A, Figure 17). Roll the machine forward or backward while looking down into the plug hole.

2.If liquid grease is not visible on the input gear (the small gear below the plug hole), add an amount, to cover the gear, of Snapper “00” grease.

!

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. Wear heavy leather gloves when handling or working around cutting blades. Blades are extremely sharp and can cause severe injury.

Service - After First 5 Hours

Change Engine Oil

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

2.For the simplest/cleanest oil change, simply turn the mower on its side to drain the oil, as shown. Drain the oil through the dipstick tube (A, Figure 16) into a container. Allow sufficient time for all the oil to drain.

Important: Drain the fuel tank before tipping the machine. DO NOT tip the machine with the carburetor or spark plug down. Oil from the 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.
