IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1.DO NOT store machine or fuel container inside where fumes may reach an open flame, spark, or pilot light as in a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliance. Allow engine to cool before storing machine in an enclosure. Store fuel container out of reach of children in a well ventilated, unoccupied building.
2.Keep machine and engine free of excess oil, grease and spilled fuel to reduce fire hazard.
3.When draining fuel tank, drain fuel into an approved container outdoors and away from open flame.
4.Inspect all bolts, nuts and screws frequently and keep properly tightened.
5.Use only recommended shear bolts (if equipped) to prevent possible damage to machine.
6.Service engine and make adjustments only when engine is stopped. Remove key, remove wire from spark plug, secure wire away from plug, and disconnect cord from electric starting motors to prevent accidental starting.
7.DO NOT change engine governor speed settings or overspeed engine.
8.DO NOT test for spark by grounding the spark plug next to spark plug hole. Spark from the plug could ignite gas exiting engine.
9.Have machine serviced by an authorized SNAPPER dealer at least once a year and have the dealer install any new safety devices.
10.Maintain safety and instruction labels as necessary.
11.Use only genuine SNAPPER replacement parts to assure that original standards are maintained.
NOTE: Specifications are correct at time of printing and are subject to change without notice. Actual sustained equipment horsepower will likely be lower due to
