Troubleshooting, Adjustment, & Service

CATCHER-FULL ALARM

ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the “catcher full” alarm, slide the sensor plate (A, Figure 30) forward or backward on the sensor rod. If the chute is plugging, slide the plate backwards to increase sensitivity. If the alarm is going on before the hopper is full, slide the plate forwards to decrease sensi- tivity.

MOWER LIFT ADJUSTMENT

The mower lift rod (A, Figure 31) can be inserted into two holes depending on the amount of mower lift desired. The upper hole provides higher mower lift when the attachment lift lever is placed in transport position. The lower hole will not lift the mower as high in transport position, but requires less lift effort.

BATTERY CHARGING

WARNING

Keep open flames and sparks away from the battery; the gasses coming from it are highly explosive. Ventilate the battery well during charging.

A dead battery or one too weak to start the engine may be the result of a defect in the charging system or other electrical component. If there is any doubt about the cause of the problem, see your dealer. If you need to replace the battery, follow the steps under Cleaning the Battery & Cables in the Regular Maintenance Section.

To charge the battery, follow the instructions provided by the battery charger manufacturer as well as all warnings included in the safety rules sections of this book. Charge the battery until fully charged (until the specific gravity of the electrolyte is 1.250 or higher and the electrolyte tem- perature is at least 60° F). Do not charge at a rate high- er than 10 amps.

The Snapper RT Series stands out in the realm of riding lawn mowers, combining cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features to enhance lawn care. Designed for residential use, the RT Series ensures both performance and comfort, making it an ideal choice for homeowners looking for a reliable mowing solution.

One of the key features of the Snapper RT Series is its robust engine options. The mowers in this series typically come equipped with powerful engines that deliver efficient performance. Often, these engines are designed to provide easy starting and smooth operation, allowing users to tackle their mowing tasks with minimal hassle.

The RT Series showcases Snapper's patented HiVac deck technology. This unique deck design is engineered to generate superior airflow, resulting in a cleaner, more precise cut.

This feature is particularly beneficial for homeowners with complex landscapes, gardens, or flower beds. The lightweight design, coupled with responsive steering, makes mowing under trees, around flower beds, and along fences effortless.

The Snapper RT Series also incorporates advanced safety features. With automatic brakes, blade engagement systems, and other safety mechanisms, users can be assured of a safer mowing experience. These safety technologies help protect the operator while enhancing the overall mowing process.

Durability is a hallmark of the Snapper RT Series. Built from high-quality materials, these mowers are engineered to withstand the rigors of lawn maintenance. Rust-resistant components and a sturdy frame ensure that the mower can handle tough mowing conditions, providing long-lasting reliability.

In summary, the Snapper RT Series offers a powerful combination of performance, comfort, and advanced technology.
