3.3.2. ADD LUBRICATION TO CHAIN CASE: To
add grease, remove the filler plug located just
forward of the pulley shaft on the right hand side.
See Figure 10. Add Snapper Part No. 2-9577
Benalene 900 grease (4 oz. Bottle) as needed to
bring level up to bottom edge of the check plug
opening. The total capacity of the case is about 48
ounces. DO NOT exceed this amount. Reinstall

3.4 TILLER
TINES
Your Snapper Tiller has right hand and left hand tines.
Replace both tines if blades become bent or are badly
worn or otherwise damaged. Use correct Snapper
replacement tines. The tines are secured to the tine shaft
with a shear bolt, Part No. 2-8725 and Lock Nut Part No.
9-0222 on each side. NOTE: Two extra nuts and two
bolts come with tiller. Keep spares on hand in case a bolt
shears off or becomes lost while tilling. See Figure 11.
DO NOT over tighten these shear bolts as this will cause
premature failure. (Recommended torque is 5 to 8 foot
pounds maximum). NOTE: Failure to use the correct
shear bolts could result in serious damage to your Tiller.
Use only the genuine Snapper replacement bolts and
lock nuts specified above. These bolts are designed to
shear at a specific stress to prevent damage. DO NOT
use substitutes!

BELT ADJUSTMENT - REPLACEMENT
BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT: Remove the cotter pin
that secures clevis pin to left wheel hub. Remove clevis pin
from left wheel hub and slide wheel out on axle about 1”.
Remove belt guard. Measure the length idler pulley spring
at the end of the control cable in a relaxed position. Then
move wheel and tine control bail up to the handle bar and
measure the extended length of the spring. When properly
adjusted, the spring will extend 1/4” to 1/2”. See Figure 12.
To adjust, loosen and reposition the two jam nuts on the
threaded end of cable located on the dash panel. Move
jam nuts toward the end of threaded end of cable for more
tension. Move jam nuts in a direction away from the end of
threaded end of cable for less tension. See Figure 13. After
adjustment, retighten both jam nuts against dash panel.
Reinstall belt guard. Slide wheel back into operating
position and reinstall clevis pin and secure with hair pin.
