Operation and Maintenance Instructions

INTRODUCTION:

Follow operation and maintenance instructions in the Operator’s Manual provided with the Snapper Lawn Tractor.

GRASS CATCHER OPERATION

1)Select desired cutting height. Choose a setting that will not attempt to cut off too much at once, overloading the machine.

2)After starting engine and allowing a brief warm up period, move engine speed control to highest setting.

3)Drive machine to cutting area. Engage blades.

4)Select a slow forward ground speed until familiar with conditions. Do not select a speed that is too fast, causing the machine to become overloaded.

5)The weight of the grass catcher and contents will affect the stability and handling of the machine. Avoid sudden starts and sharp turns. Reduce speed on slopes, and DO NOT operate machine on slopes exceeding 10 degrees (18% grade). Operate machine up and down slopes. DO NOT operate machine across the face of slopes. Turn blades off when traveling up slope.

6)Empty grass catcher often to minimize effect on stability and handling. Over filling the catcher will reduce performance and cause clogging of the tube, adapter and deck.

7)Do not operate the machine with the Grass Catcher open. The entire Grass Catcher including grass bags must be installed, the catcher closed and latched properly before operating.

EMPTYING GRASS CATCHER

1)Empty Grass Catcher often to avoid overfilling. Overfilling the grass bags reduces performance and causes clogging of tube, adapter and deck.

2)Turn blades off. Drive machine to location the clippings are to be dumped. DO NOT operate blades in reverse. If you must back machine to dump clippings in desired location, LOOK and SEE behind and down for children, pets and hazards before and while backing.

3)Shift transmission to Neutral (N). Engage Park Brake. Stop engine. Remove key.

4)Unlatch and open the catcher cover. One at a time, lift grass bag up and off of the tab on the grass bag support.

5)After dumping, to maintain peak performance, check the catcher screen located on the inside of the Cover Assembly to make sure it is clean and free of any build up. Clean as required with brush or broom. Reinstall all three grass bags.

6)Close catcher. Push down firmly to ensure the cover is fully closed and is properly latched.

7)Re-start engine and drive machine to cutting area. Set engine speed to highest setting, engage blades and resume operation.

WARNING

DO NOT operate machine without entire grass catcher and guards in place. GRASS CATCHER COMPONENTS are subject to deterioration during normal use. Inspect all components frequently for signs of wear or deterioration. Replace worn or damaged components immediately.
