IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

 

PREPARATION  

(Continued From Previous Page) 
5.  Practice operation of machine with BLADES OFF 

to learn controls and develop skills.  

6.  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 blades 
or interfere with mowing. 

7.  Keep people and pets out of mowing area. 

Immediately, STOP blades, STOP engine, and 
STOP machine if anyone enters the area. 

8.  Check shields, deflectors, switches, blade controls 

and other safety devices frequently for proper 
operation and location. 

9.  Make sure all safety decals are clearly legible. 

Replace if damaged. 

10. Protect yourself when mowing and wear safety 

glasses, long pants and substantial footwear. 

11.  Know how to STOP blades and engine quickly in 

preparation for emergencies. 

12. Use extra care when loading or unloading the 

machine into a trailer or truck. 

13. 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 worn spots. 

 

OPERATION  

1.  Mount and dismount machine from left side.  
2.  Start engine from operator's seat, if possible. Make 

sure blades are OFF and parking brake is set.  

3.  DO NOT leave machine with engine running.  Stop 

engine. Stop blades. Set brake. Remove key.  

4.  DO NOT operate machine unless properly seated 

with feet on feet rests or pedal(s). 

5.  STOP BLADES and ENGINE and make sure blades 

have stopped before removing grass catcher or 
unclogging mower to prevent loss of fingers or 
hand.  

6.  Blades must be OFF except when cutting grass. 

Set blades in highest position when mowing over 
rough ground.  

7.  Keep hands and feet away from rotating blades 

underneath deck. DO NOT place foot on ground 
while BLADES are ON or machine is in motion.  

8.  DO NOT operate machine without entire grass 

catcher or guards in place. DO NOT point 
discharge at people, passing cars, windows or 
doors.  

9.  Slow down before turning.  
10. Watch out for traffic when near or crossing 

roadways.  

11. 

STOP engine immediately after striking an 
obstruction. Inspect machine and repair damage 
before resuming operation.  

 

OPERATION  

(Continued From Previous Column) 
12.  Mow only in daylight or with good artificial light.  
13. Move motion control levers SLOWLY to maintain 

control during speed and directional changes.  

14. Exercise CAUTION when pulling loads. DO NOT 

pull loads greater than 300 pounds. Avoid jack 
knifing. DO NOT turn sharply. 

15.  DO NOT operate engine in enclosed areas. Engine 

exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a deadly 
poison. 

 

MAINTENANCE  

1.  DO NOT store machine or fuel container inside 

where fumes may reach an open flame, spark or 
pilot light such as in a water heater, furnace, 
clothes dryer or other gas appliance. Allow 
engine to cool before storing machine in an 
enclosure. Store fuel container out of the reach 
of children in a well ventilated, unoccupied 
building.  

2.  Keep engine free of grass, leaves or excess 

grease to reduce fire hazard and engine 
overheating.  

3.  When draining fuel tank, drain fuel into an 

approved container outdoors and away from 
open flame.  

4. Check brakes frequently; adjust, repair or 

replace as needed. 

5.  Keep all bolts, nuts and screws properly tight. 

Check that all cotter pins are in proper position.  

6. Always provide adequate ventilation when 

running engine. Engine exhaust gases contain 
carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly 
poison.  

7.  Disconnect negative (black) cable from battery 

before performing maintenance or service. 
Cranking engine could cause injury.  

8.  DO NOT work under machine without safety 

blocks.  

9.  Service engine and make adjustments only 

when engine is stopped. Remove spark plug 
wire(s) from spark plug(s) and secure wire(s) 
away from spark plug(s).  

10. 

DO NOT change engine governor speed 
settings or overspeed engine.  

11. Lubricate machine at intervals specified in 

manual to prevent controls from binding.  

12. Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the 

blades or wear heavy leather gloves and use 
CAUTION when handling them.  

13. DO NOT test for spark by grounding spark plug 

next to spark plug hole; spark plug could ignite 
gas exiting engine. 

14. 

Have machine serviced by an authorized 
SNAPPER dealer at least once a year and have 
the dealer install any new safety devices.  

15. Use only genuine SNAPPER replacement parts 

to assure that original standards are 
maintained.
