IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

 
WARNING: This powerful cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and can throw objects that 
can cause injury and damage! Failure to comply with the following SAFETY instructions could result in serious 
injury or death to the operator or other persons. The owner of the machine must understand these instructions 
and must allow only persons who understand these instructions to operate machine. Each person operating the 
machine must be of sound mind and body and must not be under the influence of any substance, which might 
impair vision, dexterity or judgment. If you have any questions pertaining to your machine which your dealer 
cannot answer to your satisfaction, call or write the Customer Service Department at SNAPPER, McDonough, 
Georgia 30253. Phone: (1-800-935-2967). 
 

PROTECTION FOR CHILDREN 

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not 
alert to the presence of children. Children are often 
attracted to the machine and the mowing activity. 
Never assume that children will remain where you 
last saw them. 
 
1.  KEEP children out of the mowing area and 

under the watchful care of a responsible adult. 

2.   DO NOT allow children in yard when machine is 

operated and turn machine OFF if anyone 
enters the area.
 

3.   DO NOT allow pre-teenage children to operate 

machine. 

4.  ALLOW only responsible adults & teenagers 

with mature judgment under close adult 
supervision to operate machine.
 

5. 

 

DO NOT pull mower backwards unless 
absolutely necessary. LOOK BEHIND and down 
for small children before and when backing.
 

6. 

 USE EXTRA CARE when approaching blind 

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may 
obscure vision.
 

 

SLOPE OPERATION

 

1.   Slopes are a major factor related to slip and fall 

accidents, which can result in severe injury. All 
slopes require extra caution. If you feel uneasy 
on a slope, do not mow it. 

2. Mow across slopes, never up-and-down. 

Exercise extreme CAUTION when changing 
directions on slopes. DO NOT mow steep 
slopes or other areas where stability or traction 
is in doubt.
 

 

PREPARATION 

1.   Read, understand, and follow instructions and 

warnings in this manual and on the mower and 
with attachments. Know the controls and the 
proper use of the mower before starting. 

2.   Only mature, responsible persons shall operate 

the machine and only after proper instruction. 

3.   Data indicates that operators age 60 and above, 

are involved in a large percentage of mower-
related injuries. These operators should 
evaluate their ability to operate the mower 
safely enough to protect themselves and others 
from serious injury. 

 

PREPARATION 

4.   Handle fuel with extra care. Fuels are flammable 

and vapors are explosive. Use only an approved 
fuel container. Never remove fuel cap or add 
fuel with engine running. Add fuel outdoors 
only with engine stopped and cool. Clean 
spilled fuel and oil from machine. DO NOT 
smoke. DO NOT run engine indoors. 

5.   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 blade or interfere with mowing. Also note the 
location of holes, stumps, and other possible 
hazards.
 

6.  Keep people and pets a safe distance from 

machine. 

7. 

 Check shields, deflectors, switches, blade 

controls and other safety devices frequently for 
proper operation and location.
 

8.   Make sure all safety decals are clearly legible. 

Replace if damaged. 

9.   Protect yourself when mowing and wear safety 

glasses, long pants and substantial footwear. 
DO NOT mow barefooted or with sandals.
 

10.  Know how to STOP blade and engine quickly in 

preparation for emergencies. 

11.  Use extra care when loading or unloading the 

machine into a trailer or truck. 

 

OPERATION

 

1.   DO NOT put hands or feet near or under rotating 

parts. Keep clear of discharge area while engine 
is running. 

2. 

 STOP engine when crossing gravel drives, 

walks, or roads, and under any conditions 
where thrown objects might be a hazard. 

3.   Mow only in daylight or good artificial light. 
4. 

 DO NOT operate mower while under the 

influence of alcohol or drugs. 

5. 

 After striking a foreign object or if mower 

vibrates abnormally, STOP the engine, 
disconnect and secure spark plug wire. Inspect 
the mower for any damage and repair the 
damage.
