Maintenance - Introduction

To retain the quality of the mower, use genuine SNAPPER
replacement parts only. Contact a local SNAPPER dealer for
parts and service assistance. For the correct part or
information for a particular mower, always mention the
model and serial number.

Service - After First 5 Hours

Change Engine Oil

1. Refer to the Engine Manual for proper oil specifications,

procedures and proper service intervals.

2. For the simplest/cleanest oil change, simply turn the

mower on its side to drain the oil, as shown. Drain the
oil through the dipstick tube 

(A, Figure 14)

into a

container. Allow sufficient time for all the oil to drain. 

Important:

Drain the fuel tank before tipping the machine.

DO NOT tip the machine with the carburetor or spark plug
down. Oil from the crankcase will saturate the air filter and
cause the engine to be hard to start or not start at all.  If
contamination does occur, the air filter will have to be
replaced.

3. Dispose of drain oil properly.
4. Fill the engine with oil as specified in the Engine Manual.

Do not overfill.

Check Grease Level in Transmission

1. Remove the transmission fill plug 

(A, Figure 15)

.  Roll

the machine forward or backward while looking down
into the plug hole.

2. If liquid grease is not visible on the input gear (the small

gear below the plug hole), add an amount, to cover the
gear, of Snapper “00” grease.

Note: Snapper “00” grease (Part No. 7029443) is available at
your Snapper dealer.

Note: Do not spill grease or oil onto the surface of the drive
disc 

(A, Figure 16)

.

3. Reinstall the transmission plug.
4. Check the grease level after each 25 hours of operation.

Important:

Drain the fuel tank before tipping the mower. DO

NOT tip the machine with the carburetor or spark plug down.
Oil from the crankcase will saturate the air filter and cause
the engine to be hard to start or not start at all. If
contamination does occur, the air filter will have to be
replaced.

WARNING

DO NOT attempt any maintenance, adjustments or service
with engine and blade running. STOP engine and blade.
Disconnect spark plug wire and secure away from spark
plug. Engine and components are HOT. Avoid serious
burns, allow sufficient time for all components to cool.
Wear heavy leather gloves when handling or working
around cutting blades. Blades are extremely sharp and can
cause severe injury.
