Section 3 - MAINTENANCE 

 
3.1 INTRODUCTION 
To retain the quality of the YARD CRUISER, 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.  
 
3.2  SERVICE - AFTER FIRST 5 HOURS 
 

WARNING 

DO NOT attempt any adjustments, maintenance, 
service or repairs with the engine running. STOP 
engine. STOP blade. Engage parking brake. Remove 
key. Remove spark plug wire from spark plug and 
secure away from plug. Engine and components are 
HOT. Avoid serious burns, allow all parts to cool 
before working on machine. Fuel Filler Cap and vent 
must be closed securely to prevent fuel spillage. 

 

3.2.1.  CHANGE ENGINE OIL 
1.  
Place bricks or wooden blocks under the front 
wheels to lower rear of engine. 
2.  Place a 4 quart minimum capacity container 
under the end of the oil drain. 
3.  Loosen or remove oil fill cap on engine. 
4.  Install the drain hose (Supplied in hardware bag) 
onto drain plug nipple and place hose into drain 
container. 
5.  Rotate drain plug counter clockwise and pull out 
to open and allow oil to drain out. See Figure 3.1.

6.  After all the oil has drained, close the drain by 
pushing in and rotating clockwise to close. Wipe up 
any oil that may have spilled. Dispose of drained oil 
properly. See Figure 3.1. 
7.  Change oil filter at every oil change.  Refer to your 
engine owner’s manual for service instructions. 
8.  Fill engine crankcase with new oil.  Refer to your 
engine owner’s manual for oil specifications. 
 

3.2.2.  CHECK MOWER BLADE 
1.
  Make sure fuel cap is on tight and vent is closed. 
Turn fuel shut off valve (If equipped) to the 
“CLOSED” position. Start engine and allow it to run 
until engine runs out of fuel. See Figure 2.3. 
2.  Apply parking brake. 
3.  Turn key to “OFF” position and remove key from 
ignition switch.

around cutting blades. Blades are extremely sharp and 
can cause severe injury.  

 

4. 

Carefully stand YARD CRUISER on rear 

bumper. It may be necessary to have help to stand
