21" CAST ALUMINUM REAR DISCHARGE WALK BEHIND MOWERS

This SNAPPER Walk Behind Mower uses a handle engine control bail system to kill the engine for the SAFETY of the operator. These mowers are designed for quick set-up. The checklist on Page 3 should be filled out by the dealer as the items are checked off and/or performed and the Consumer/Operator Product Registration card filled out and sent to the Customer Service department at SNAPPER when completed. CAUTION: Cutting blades are extremely sharp. Wear heavy leather gloves when handling or working with blades. Be careful to avoid cutting yourself on sharp edges of blade.

STEP 1: Remove unit from carton and unfold handle. Do this carefully to prevent cables from hanging up or becoming kinked. It will be necessary to remove cardboard isolators between the handles and knobs. Tighten Handle Knobs securely. See Figure 1.

STEP 2: Hold blade control bail down and at the same time, pull engine rope handle and wrap pull cord into rope guides that are located on handles. See Figure 1.

STEP 3: Tip mower back against the upper handle to gain access to cutting blade. Remove foam shipping block from cutting blade. This must be removed before starting the engine.
