3.1INTRODUCTION

HONDA ENGINE

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

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.

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

2.For simplest/cleanest oil change, loosen lower handle nuts. Remove two of the four bolts and fold

handles. Stand mower up on lower handle brackets as shown in Figure 3.1A. Drain oil through dipstick tube into a container. Allow sufficient time for all oil to drain.

3.Alternate Oil Drain: Procedure: The Honda engines are equipped with oil fill caps. See Figure 3.1.B. Remove oil fill cap, tip machine to drain oil. Allow sufficient time for all oil to drain. Reinstall cap and tighten securely.
