Section 4 - ADJUSTMENTS & REPAIR 

 

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. 

 

4.3.5.  BLADE BRAKE ADJUSTMENT 

The SNAPPER SCRAMBLER is equipped with an 
electric clutch/brake that should stop blade rotation 
in 5 seconds or less after being turned off. If blades 
continue to rotate longer than 5 seconds, 
adjustment or replacement is required. When 
properly adjusted, a .010” to .012” feeler gauge will 
fit thru the three inspection slots located on the side 
of the clutch as shown. See Figure 4.5. Excessive 
clearance can adversely affect the function of the 
clutch and produce blade stop times over 5 
seconds. To adjust, turn the three adjusting nuts 
clockwise to reduce clearance. The clearance at 
each of the three slots must be set the same.

WARNING 

Blades must stop rotating in 5 seconds or less after 
blades have been turned off. DO NOT operate 
machine until blade brake has been adjusted or 
repaired and is functioning properly. Contact your 
SNAPPER dealer for assistance. 

 

4.3.6.  ADJUSTING MOWER BLADE 

The straightness of the mower blade(s) is essential 
for smooth, even mowing. Adjust blade straightness 
as follows. 

 

 
 
 

1.

 Close vent on fuel cap and make sure cap is 

tight. Close fuel valve in fuel line. Start engine and 
allow it to run until engine runs out of fuel. 

2. 

Remove key from ignition switch. 

3.

 Remove spark plug wire(s) and secure away 

from spark plug(s). 

4.

  Carefully stand SCRAMBLER on rear bumper.  

5. 

Select a point on the deck and mark for reference. 

6.

  Mark blade tips as “A” and “B”. 

7.

 Rotate blade until blade tip “A” is at deck 

reference mark. 

8.

 Measure the distance between deck lip and 

blade tip. NOTE: On 33” decks, the measurement 
between the blade tip and deck lip should be 3/8”. 
See Figure 4.6. 

9.

  Repeat step 8 with blade tip “B”. 

10.

  If measurement between blade tips and deck are 

different and there is more than 1/16” difference 
between blade tip measurements, adjust blade as 
follows: 

a. 

Loosen jam-nuts on the ends of blade bar. 

b.

  Adjust jackscrews “IN” or “OUT” until blade 

tip measurements are within 1/16” of each other 
and blade tips are 3/8” away from deck lip.  See 
Figure 4.7. 

c.

  Retighten jam-nuts securely.
