Section 4 - ADJUSTMENT & REPAIR
WARNING
DO NOT attempt any adjustments, maintenance or
service with the engine or blades running. STOP
blades. STOP engine. Set brake. Remove key.
Remove spark plug wire from spark plug and secure
wire away from spark plug. Engine and components
can be extremely hot. Avoid burns by allowing engine
and components sufficient time to cool.
4.1 ENGINE ADJUSTMENTS & REPAIR
Refer to the engine owner's manual for those
adjustments and/or repairs that can be made by the
owner.
4.2 MOWER DECK & COMPONENT ADJUSTMENTS
The following mower deck and component adjustments
and repairs can be made by the owner. However, if
there is difficulty in achieving these adjustments and
repairs, it is recommended that these repairs be made
by an authorized SNAPPER dealer.
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 repaired and
functioning properly. Contact your SNAPPER dealer
for assistance.
4.2.1.
BLADE BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
This SNAPPER Lawn Tractor 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 .012” to .014” feeler gauge will fit thru the three
inspection slots located on the side of the clutch as
shown. See Figure 4.1. 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.
4.2.2.
BLADE BELT ADJUSTMENT
The 42” and 48” mower deck drive belts do not
require any adjustment. If the belt does not drive
blade properly, replace belt as needed.
4.2.3. MOWER DECK ADJUSTMENT (LEVELNESS)
1. SIDE-To-SIDE (42” Decks)
Before making deck leveling adjustments, check the
tire pressure. Check tires and add or release air as
needed to bring pressure to 12 PSI in front and 12
PSI in rear tires. If tires are properly inflated and
mowing is still uneven, adjust side-to-side deck
levelness as follows:
FIGURE 4.1
a.
Place machine on a smooth level surface.
b.
Turn engine off and remove key, remove
spark plug wire(s) from spark plug(s) and secure
wire(s) away from plug(s).
c.
Place a piece of angle iron, pipe, or similar
object under center of deck at the rear.
d.
Disconnect rear sector plates and allow
center, rear of deck to rest on angle iron.
e.
Measure the distance from blade tips to floor. If
the measurement is within 1/8” from side-to-side,
the deck levelness is satisfactory. If the difference
from side-to-side is greater than 1/8”, an adjustment
will have to be made. See Figure 4.2.
FIGURE 4.2
f.
Loosen the shoulder bolt that retains the
eccentric.
g.
Turn eccentric “UP” or “DOWN” as required
until blade tips are within 1/8” of the same
distance from the floor. See Figure 4.3.
h.
Tighten shoulder bolt loosened in Step “f”.
i.
Readjust rear sector plates to align with holes
in support brackets.
