Protection for Children

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them.

2.DO NOT allow children in yard when machine is operated and turn machine OFF if anyone enters the area.

3.DO NOT allow pre-teenage children to operate machine.

4.ALLOW only responsible adults & teenagers with mature judgment under close adult supervision to operate machine.

5.DO NOT pull mower backwards unless absolutely necessary. LOOK and SEE behind and down for children, pets and hazards before and while backing.

6.USE EXTRA CARE when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.

Slope Operation

1.Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall acci- dents, which can result in severe injury. All slopes require extra caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, DO NOT mow it.

2.Mow across slopes, never up-and-down. Exercise extreme CAUTION when changing directions on slopes. DO NOT mow steep slopes or other areas where stability or traction is in doubt. Refer to the Slope Guide at the end of this manual.

3.Use extra care with grass catchers or other attachments; these affect the handling and the stability of the machine.

2.Only mature, responsible persons shall operate the machine and only after proper instruction.

These models are particularly popular for their performance, durability, and user-friendly features tailored for both amateur gardeners and professional landscapers.

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. Users can expect an even cut thanks to the innovative design that minimizes clumping, a common issue when mowing wet or lush grass.

The Snapper lineup also emphasizes user convenience. Models like the SP22675 and SPV22675HW often include self-propulsion features that allow for easy maneuverability across large lawns, reducing the physical effort required by the operator.

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.
