PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST

Snapper has completed initial adjustments and performed operational tests prior to shipping the machine. Due to the possible effects of shipping, handling and storage, Snapper intends for all of the following items to be verified and necessary final adjustments made at time of setup. It remains good practice and is strongly recommended that all the items also be checked prior to placing the machine into service. It is very important that setup is verified and all operational tests completed and results are acceptable. After completing this form, sign and retain for future reference.
