Section 3 - ADJUSTMENTS & REPAIR

3.1SERVICE PARTS & ASSISTANCE

To retain the original quality of your Tiller, use only genuine SNAPPER replacement parts. Specify the model and serial number as found on the nameplate of your Tiller when contacting your SNAPPER Dealer for parts or service assistance.

3.2STANDING THE TILLER ON END

WARNING

ALWAYS STOP the engine and DISCONNECT the spark plug wire BEFORE standing the TILLER on end to prevent accidental starting! NEVER stand Tiller on end with the engine running!

WARNING

If the fuel tank is over half full when the Tiller is placed on end, gasoline may leak from the carburetor vent hole and drip down the outside surface of the engine creating a potential FIRE HAZARD! Gasoline may also leak unnoticed into the engine cylinder and wash away lubricating oil causing engine damage. Take all necessary precautions to prevent fuel leakage BEFORE standing the Tiller on end. Any draining of fuel must be done outside with the engine cool and away from ignition sources. If the Tiller is stored on end for any length of time, check it frequently for signs of fuel and/or oil leakage.

WARNING

NEVER stand Tiller on end with engine running!

3.2.1ENGINE SERVICE: Refer to the engine owner’s manual for details. Engine oil is drained by removing front filler plug and standing Tiller on end. See Figure 9.

3.2.2SERVICE NOTE: Since a Tiller normally operates under extremely dusty or dirty conditions, the air cleaner, engine oil and cooling fins must be serviced as specified in the engine manual at frequent intervals. The Tiller itself should be serviced as follows:

3.3TILLER LUBRICATION

CHAIN CASE: Check the level of the grease in the chain case at the beginning of each tilling season. Remove clevis pin and cotter pin that secures left hand tire/wheel to axle. Remove wheel. Check grease level by removing the plastic plug located beside the axle shaft on the lower left hand side. See Figures 9A. The level should be up to the edge of the opening. To add grease, remove the filler plug located just forward of the pulley shaft on the right hand side. See Figure 10. Add Snapper Part No. 2-9577 Benalene 900 grease (4 oz. Bottle) as needed to bring level up to bottom edge of the check plug opening. The total capacity of the case is about 48 ounces. DO NOT exceed this amount. Reinstall check plugs after checking. NOTE: Also available Snapper Part No. 2-9296 Benalene 900 grease (32 oz. Bottle).

IR5003B, NIR5003B specifications

The Snapper IR5003B and NIR5003B are advanced infrared thermometers that represent the pinnacle of modern temperature measurement technology. These devices have been engineered for precision, durability, and user-friendliness, making them ideal for both professional and amateur applications.

One of the key features of the IR5003B is its laser-guided targeting system. This allows users to accurately measure the temperature of specific surfaces or objects from a distance, ensuring that measurements are taken from exactly the right spot. The dual laser pointers aid in visualizing the measurement area, enhancing accuracy while reducing the chances of error that can occur with wider measurement fields.

The NIR5003B model further extends its capabilities by incorporating advanced non-contact temperature measurement technology. This feature is particularly valuable in applications where direct contact with the subject is not possible or practical, such as moving objects or hazardous materials. Users can obtain quick and accurate temperature readings without the risk of contamination or damage to sensitive surfaces.

Both models boast a wide temperature range, typically spanning from -50°C to 500°C, catering to a variety of use cases, from monitoring food safety to industrial applications. The high-resolution display provides easy visibility of readings, which can be crucial in fast-paced environments where quick decisions are necessary.

Another standout characteristic of the Snapper IR5003B and NIR5003B is their response time. These thermometers are designed to gather data swiftly, allowing users to track temperature changes in real time. This is particularly useful in processes that require consistent monitoring, such as HVAC systems, engine maintenance, and food preparation.

Additionally, these devices offer features like adjustable emissivity settings, enabling users to tailor the device to the properties of different materials for improved accuracy. The ergonomic design ensures that the devices are comfortable to hold and operate, reducing user fatigue during prolonged use.

In summary, the Snapper IR5003B and NIR5003B are versatile infrared thermometers that combine advanced technology and user-friendly features. With laser targeting, non-contact measurement capabilities, a broad temperature range, swift response times, and adjustable emissivity settings, they are designed to meet the demands of various industries efficiently and effectively. Whether for professional use or home applications, these thermometers are invaluable tools for anyone needing precise temperature measurements.
