STORAGE

WARNING

Never store the unit (with fuel) in an enclosed, poorly ventilated structure. Fuel vapors can travel to an ignition source (such as a furnace, water heater, etc.) and cause an explosion.

Fuel vapor is also toxic to humans and animals.

Before you store your unit for the off-season, read the Maintenance and Storage instructions in the Safety Rules section, then perform the following steps:

Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, & remove the key.

Perform engine maintenance and storage measures listed in the engine owner’s manual. This includes draining the fuel system, or adding stabilizer to the fuel (do not store a fueled unit in an enclosed struc- ture - see above).

Battery life will be increased if it is removed, put in a cool, dry place and fully charged about once a month. If the battery is left in the unit, disconnect the nega- tive cable.

Before starting the unit after it has been stored:

Check all fluid levels. Check all maintenance items.

Perform all recommended check and procedures found in the engine owner’s manual.

Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before use.

RT Series specifications

The Snapper RT Series stands out in the realm of riding lawn mowers, combining cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features to enhance lawn care. Designed for residential use, the RT Series ensures both performance and comfort, making it an ideal choice for homeowners looking for a reliable mowing solution.

One of the key features of the Snapper RT Series is its robust engine options. The mowers in this series typically come equipped with powerful engines that deliver efficient performance. Often, these engines are designed to provide easy starting and smooth operation, allowing users to tackle their mowing tasks with minimal hassle.

The RT Series showcases Snapper's patented HiVac deck technology. This unique deck design is engineered to generate superior airflow, resulting in a cleaner, more precise cut. The enhanced airflow lifts grass for a faster and more uniform mowing experience while efficiently bagging clippings. This not only ensures a well-manicured lawn but also minimizes the need for frequent clean-up.

Comfort is a priority in the Snapper RT Series design. The mowers feature an ergonomic seat and easy-to-reach controls, allowing operators to mow for extended periods without discomfort. The adjustable seat adds to this comfort, accommodating a variety of user heights and preferences.

Another notable aspect of the Snapper RT Series is its ease of maneuverability. With a tight turning radius, these mowers can navigate around obstacles with precision. This feature is particularly beneficial for homeowners with complex landscapes, gardens, or flower beds. The lightweight design, coupled with responsive steering, makes mowing under trees, around flower beds, and along fences effortless.

The Snapper RT Series also incorporates advanced safety features. With automatic brakes, blade engagement systems, and other safety mechanisms, users can be assured of a safer mowing experience. These safety technologies help protect the operator while enhancing the overall mowing process.

Durability is a hallmark of the Snapper RT Series. Built from high-quality materials, these mowers are engineered to withstand the rigors of lawn maintenance. Rust-resistant components and a sturdy frame ensure that the mower can handle tough mowing conditions, providing long-lasting reliability.

In summary, the Snapper RT Series offers a powerful combination of performance, comfort, and advanced technology. Its user-friendly design, ease of maneuverability, and robust safety features make it an exceptional choice for homeowners. Whether tending to a small or large yard, the RT Series delivers an efficient and enjoyable mowing experience.
