Engine Maintenance

Use the following maintenance section to keep your unit in good operating condition. All the maintenance information for the engine is in the “Engine Instruction Book”. Before you start the engine, read this book.

WARNING: Before you make an inspection, adjustment (except carburetor), or repair, stop the engine and disconnect the wire from the spark plug.

Engine Tipping

When you service the engine, inspect the blade, or clean the underside of the mower housing; make sure to always tip the engine with the spark plug up (Figure 17). Transporting or tipping the engine with the spark plug down will cause:

Hard starting.

Engine smoking.

Spark plug fouling.

Oil or gas saturation of the air filter.

Maintenance

WARNING: The blade will rotate when the engine runs. Before you clean the mower housing, stop the engine and disconnect the wire from the spark plug.

Grass and other debris can keep the mower from working correctly. After you mow, clean the mower housing as follows.

1.Stop the engine.

2.Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.

3.Clean dirt and debris from the top and the bottom of the mower housing. Clean with soap and water. Wipe off excess water before storage.

Lubrication

1.For maximum performance, lubricate the wheels and all pivot points with engine oil every 25 hours.

2.To lubricate the engine, refer to the “Engine Instruction Book”.

Note: Do not lubricate the engine stop cable. Lubricants will damage the cable and prevent the cable from moving freely. Replace the cable if bent or damaged.

WARNING: The blade will rotate when the engine runs. Before you change the height of cut, stop the engine and disconnect the wire from the spark plug.

To change the height of cut, move the position of the adjuster arm at each wheel (A, Figure 18). Make sure each adjuster arm is in the same position so that the mower will cut level.

1.Disengage the adjuster arm.

2.Move the adjuster arm to another position.

One of the key features of the Snapper S22675 series is its powerful engine. Designed for efficiency, these mowers often come equipped with high-performance Briggs & Stratton engines, ensuring robust power output while maintaining fuel economy. This makes them ideal for cutting through thick grass and tackling various terrain types with ease.

Another standout characteristic is the engineering of the cutting deck. The cutting decks in Snapper mowers are constructed for optimal airflow, which enhances grass clipping distribution and ensures a clean finish.

The variable speed transmission system enables users to adjust the speed to their walking pace, making it adaptable for various user preferences and conditions.

Additionally, several models in the Snapper S22675 series feature adjustable cutting heights. This allows users to customize their mowing experience based on seasonal grass growth or specific lawn care requirements. The adjustment mechanism is designed for quick changes, enabling users to optimize their cut effortlessly.

Durability is yet another hallmark of the Snapper brand. The construction materials are selected not just for their strength but also for weather resistance, ensuring that the mowers can withstand various conditions without compromising performance. This is particularly advantageous for those who use their mowers frequently or in challenging environments.

In conclusion, Snapper's S22675 series and its associated models stand out for their powerful engines, innovative cutting deck designs, user-friendly features, and robust durability. These characteristics culminate in a mowing experience that meets the needs of a diverse range of users, from casual lawn caretakers to professional landscapers, making them a trusted choice in outdoor power equipment.
