Troubleshooting, Adjustment, & Service

Steering Wheel Adjustment

NOTE: The steering wheel on Snapper models is not adjustable.

1.Use a suitable punch to remove the roll pin at the base of the steering wheel (B, Figure 31).

2.Pull down on the rubber boot to expose the two holes in the steering shaft (A).

3.Align the hole in the steering wheel with the appropriate steering shaft hole and install the roll pin.

NOTE: Steering wheel is factory installed with the roll pin in the bottom hole.

Steering Gear Adjustment

If there is excessive slack in the steering system, the steering gear backlash can be removed.

1.See Figure 32. Locate the steering gear assembly on the underside of the tractor. Loosen the two nuts and adjust the bracket so the gear teeth are closely meshed.

2.Tighten nuts (A, Figure 32) to 36-44 ft. lbs. (49-59 Nm) after adjustment.

Brake Adjustment

1.Disengage the PTO, stop the engine, block the wheels, remove the ignition key, and engage the parking brake.

2.Remove the mower deck (see Mower Deck Removal).

3.Locate the brake spring (A, Figure 33) and adjustment nut (B).

4.With the parking brake engaged, measure the compressed spring length. The spring should be 2- 1/2” (6,4 cm) when compressed.

If the spring is not within this range, turn the adjustment nut (B, Figure 33) to compress or release the spring.

If this adjustment does not correct a braking problem, see your dealer.
