Section 3 – MAINTENANCE
3.1 INTRODUCTION
To retain the quality of the mower, 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 model and serial number.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt any maintenance, adjustments or
service with engine and blade running. STOP engine
and blade. Disconnect spark plug wire and secure
away from spark plug. Engine and components are
HOT. Avoid serious burns, allow sufficient time for
all components to cool.
3.2 SERVICE - AFTER FIRST 5 HOURS
3.2.1. CHANGE ENGINE OIL
IMPORTANT: Drain fuel tank before tipping machine.
DO NOT tip machine with carburetor or spark plug down.
Oil from crankcase will saturate the air filter and cause the
engine to be hard to start or not start at all. If
contamination does occur, the air filter will have to be
replaced.
1.
Refer to Engine Manual for proper oil
specifications, procedures and proper service
intervals.
2.
For simplest/cleanest oil change, loosen lower
handle nuts and fold handles. Stand mower up on
lower handle brackets as shown in Figure 3.1. Drain
oil through dipstick tube into a container. Allow
sufficient time for all oil to drain. NOTE: Drive control
rod on self-propelled models prohibits handles from
folding. Simply tip mower on its side to drain oil.
FIGURE 3.1
3. Dispose of drain oil properly.
4.
Fill engine with oil as specified in Engine Manual.
Do Not overfill.
NOTE:
Check specific model engine owner’s manual for
changing engine oil procedure and oil specifications.
3.2.2. CHECK GREASE LEVEL IN TRANSMISSION
1.
Remove transmission fill plug. Roll machine
forward or backward while looking down into plug
hole.
2.
If liquid grease IS NOT visible on the input gear
(the small gear below the plug hole), add an
amount, to cover gear, of Snapper “00” grease. See
Figure 3.2.

operation.
FIGURE 3.3
IMPORTANT: Drain fuel tank before tipping mower.
