This SNAPPER Walk Behind Mower uses a handle engine control bail system to kill the engine for the SAFETY
of the operator. These mowers are designed for quick set-up. The checklist on Page 3 should be filled out by
the dealer as the items are checked off and/or performed and the Consumer/Operator Product Registration card
filled out and sent to the Customer Service department at SNAPPER when completed. CAUTION: Cutting blades
are extremely sharp. Wear heavy leather gloves when handling or working with blades. Be careful to avoid
cutting yourself on sharp edges of blade.
STEP 1: Remove unit from carton and unfold handle. Do

time, pull engine rope handle and wrap pull cord into rope
guides that are located on handles. See Figure 1.
