DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS and PRE-SALE CHECKLIST for SNAPPER
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.

STEP 2: HANDLES: Loosen handle nuts and speed
control rod nut. Rotate handles up to the operating
position. Remove shipping cardboard from in between
handles. See Figure 1. Insert bolts through both upper
& lower handles and secure with nuts. Make sure the
square necks of the bolts are recessed into the square
holes of upper handles. Tighten nuts securely. See
Figure 2.

STEP 3: HANDLES: Cut both wire ties that secure the
control levers to the handles. See Figure 3.

STEP 4: CABLES: Make sure that the cables are
connected to the traction clutch rod and blower clutch
bracket. IMPORTANT: Cables should have some slack
and should not be under tension. Both controls must
pivot freely. See Figure 4.
