EUROPEAN LARGE FRAME SNOW THROWERS

INTRODUCTION: The Snapper Large Frame Snow Throwers are shipped almost fully assembled and require minimal set-up. Setting up the machine will require the handles to be unfolded and secured, and the attachment of the chute crank rod. Some models may also require the installation of the electric start kit to the engine. Complete each of the following steps carefully.

STEP 1: HANDLES: Cut both wire ties that secure the control cables to the handles. Be very careful and DO NOT cut the control cables. Cut the wire tie that secures the chute crank to the handle. See Figure 1.
