Section 2 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Cutting on slopes is dangerous. Exercise extreme caution. Loss of footing can result in serious injury. Cut across slopes - never up and down. Practice on slopes with blade off.

2.6 SWIVEL WHEEL LOCK and UNLOCK

IMPORTANT: Engage the lock on the swivel wheel to maintain better control of machine when operating on slopes.

1.Stand in the operator’s position. Push machine forward until swivel wheel is positioned in the forward direction. Wheel must be positioned in a forward direction to engage swivel wheel lock.

2.Push wheel lock lever forward to lock swivel wheel in place. Swivel wheel will stay in the forward direction position. See Figure 2.9.

3.Pull wheel lock lever rearward to unlock swivel wheel. In the unlocked position, the swivel wheel will rotate 360 degrees.

2.7 RECYCLING OPERATION (OPTIONAL)

Recycling operation requires an optional accessory. Contact your local Snapper dealer for details.

NOTE: For best recycling results, cut up to a maximum of 1/3 of grass blade length and recycle ONLY when grass is dry.

1.Set all wheels in the highest cutting position (Notch 6).

2.Move engine speed control to “FAST” (Rabbit) position.

3.Move ground speed control to slowest speed setting.

4.Proceed mowing slowly. If grass is very dense, lower each rear wheel latch one notch lower than the front wheel to improve recycling performance.
