IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: This powerful cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and can throw objects that
can cause injury and damage! Failure to comply with the following SAFETY instructions could result in serious
injury or death to the operator or other persons. The owner of the machine must understand these instructions
and must allow only persons who understand these instructions to operate machine. Each person operating the
machine must be of sound mind and body and must not be under the influence of any substance, which might
impair vision, dexterity or judgment. If you have any questions pertaining to your machine which your dealer
cannot answer to your satisfaction, call or write the Customer Service Department at SNAPPER, McDonough,
Georgia 30253. Phone: (1-800-935-2967).

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.
1.  KEEP children out of the mowing area and

under the watchful care of a responsible adult.

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

accidents, 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.

3.  Use extra care with grass catchers or other

attachments; these affect the handling and the
stability of the machine.

PREPARATION

1.   Read, understand, and follow instructions and

warnings in this manual and on the mower,
engine and attachments. Know the controls and
the proper use of the mower before starting.

2.   Only mature, responsible persons shall operate

the machine and only after proper instruction.

PREPARATION

(Continued From Previous Column)
3.   Data indicates that operators age 60 and above,

are involved in a large percentage of mower-
related injuries. These operators should
evaluate their ability to operate the mower
safely enough to protect themselves and others
from serious injury.

4.   Handle fuel with extra care. Fuels are flammable

and vapors are explosive. Use only an approved
fuel container. DO NOT remove fuel cap or add
fuel with engine running. Add fuel outdoors
only with engine stopped and cool. Clean
spilled fuel and oil from machine. DO NOT
smoke.

5.   Check the area to be mowed and remove all

objects such as toys, wire, rocks, limbs and
other objects that could cause injury if thrown
by blade or interfere with mowing. Also note the
location of holes, stumps, and other possible
hazards.

6.   Keep people and pets out of the mowing area.

Immediately, STOP Blade, Stop engine and Stop
mower if anyone enters the area.

7. 

 Check shields, deflectors, switches, blade

controls and other safety devices frequently for
proper operation and location.

8.   Make sure all safety decals are clearly legible.

Replace if damaged.

9.   Protect yourself when mowing and wear safety

glasses, long pants and substantial footwear.
DO NOT mow barefooted or with sandals.

10.  Know how to STOP blade and engine quickly in

preparation for emergencies.

11.  Use extra care when loading or unloading the

machine into a trailer or truck.

12.  Check grass catcher components frequently for

signs of wear or deterioration and replace as
needed to prevent injury from thrown objects
going through weak or torn spots.
