Operator Safety
II. Slope Operation
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.
Do mow across the face of slopes; never up and down.
Do remove objects such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
Do watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or embankments. The
operator could lose footing or balance.
Do not mow excessively steep slopes.
Do not mow excessively steep slopes (maximum 10
degrees) or areas where the ground is very rough. Exercise
extreme caution when changing direction on slopes.
Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced footing could cause
slipping.
III. Children
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the
mower 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. Be alert and turn walk-behind mower off if children enter
the area.
3. Before and while moving backwards, look behind and
down for small children.
4. Never allow children to operate the walk-behind mower.
5. Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision, trees, or
other objects that may obscure vision.

Assembly
DESCRIPTION
The walk-behind lawn mower is an engine powered rotary
type mower. The engine drives a cutting blade located
under the mower housing. The blade lifts and cuts through
the grass. The height of cut can be adjusted to give the
lawn the desired finish. The cut pieces of grass are either
collected into a rear mounted grass bag or, on some
mowers, it can be recycled to feed the lawn. Recycling the
cut grass is known as “mulching”. Push models require the
operator to push the mower. Self-propelled models have a
rear wheel drive system to make mowing easier.
INTENDED USE/LIMITS OF USE
The walk-behind lawn mower is designed to cut lawn
grass. Any other use is not permitted. It is not designed
to cut grass over 15 cm in length or grass mixed with tall
weeds. The lawn mower is only suitable for private use in a
domestic garden. It is not suitable for cutting grass in public
parks or playing fields.
For assistance with any questions during assembly, please
contact the retailer or service dealer for the unit. Note that
references to “left” and “right” in this manual are from the
operating position.

HOW TO INSTALL AND REMOVE THE

WARNING
Do not operate the lawn mower unless the mulching
plug or grass catcher is installed.
The mulching plug allows the blade to re-cut the grass
clippings within the mower housing so they are reduced in
size and will disperse into the grass. The mulched clippings
will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn.
Always mulch with your highest engine (blade) speed, as
this will provide the best re-cutting action of the blade.
1. Remove the grass catcher, if installed.
2. To install the mulching plug, raise the door on the rear
of the mower housing.
3. Insert the mulching plug into the discharge opening and
close the door.
4. To remove the mulching plug, raise the door and lift the
plug out of the discharge opening.
FOR BEST MOWING RESULTS
For regularly maintained grass
Adjust the cutting height so that only the top one-third of
the grass is cut
Operate the engine speed at FAST for best mulching or
bagging performance
Change the cutting direction from one mowing to the next
to prevent patterns in the lawn
For very tall grass
Raise the cutting height to a high position and adjust
the drive speed control to SLOW (if equipped) to avoid
plugging the mower housing with clippings
Operate the engine speed at FAST for best mulching or
bagging performance
If desired, mow the area a second time – perpendicular to
the first cutting – at a lower cutting height
For thick grass
Reduce the width of cut and adjust the drive speed
control to SLOW (if equipped) to avoid plugging the
mower housing with clippings
Operate the engine speed at FAST for best mulching or
bagging performance
If desired, mow the area a second time – perpendicular to
the first cutting – at a lower cutting height
For wet grass
Do not mow when the grass is wet
Wet grass will not mulch or discharge into the grass
catcher effectively
Wet grass tends to plug the mower housing and leave
clumps of clippings on the ground

NOTICE: If the engine is tipped during maintenance, the
fuel tank must be empty and the spark plug side must be
up. If the fuel tank is not empty and if the engine is tipped
in any other direction, it may be difficult to start due to oil or
fuel contaminating the air filter and/or spark plug.
WARNING
Make sure the engine and blade is stopped and that
the spark plug is disconnected before performing any
maintenance.
See the engine operator’s manual for all engine
maintenance information.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Maintenance
HOW TO CLEAN AND INSPECT THE GRASS
CATCHER
Pores in the grass bag can become filled with dirt and
dust over time, causing the bag to collect less grass. After
each use, thoroughly empty the bag to prevent mildew.
Occasionally rinse the bag with fresh water and allow it to
completely air dry before use to keep the pores clean.
Normal use will cause gradual wear to the grass catcher.
Frequently check it for wear, damage, or deterioration,
which could expose moving parts or allow objects to
be thrown. Replace it as needed with like parts. Use
only those accessories specifically approved by the
manufacturer
HOW TO CLEAN THE MOWER HOUSING AND
DRIVE SYSTEM
WARNING
Shut off the engine and disconnect the spark plug
wire before inspecting, cleaning, or performing any
maintenance on the machine.
WARNING
The mower blade is sharp and can cause serious
injuries. Carefully wrap the blade or wear heavy
gloves while performing blade maintenance or other
work in the blade area.
1. Turn the lawn mower on its side, with the air filter side of
the engine facing up.
2. Wear heavy gloves and use an appropriate scraping
tool to remove debris that has collected underneath the
mower housing.
3. Occasionally remove the drive belt cover and clean
debris from the belt area. Then replace the cover
securely.
HOW TO INSPECT THE DRIVE SYSTEM
Keep the tires free of fuel, oil, or yard chemicals, which may
harm the rubber. If the tires are damaged, replace with like
parts.
Check the drive wheels to make sure they move freely. If
the wheels drag, or drive system doesn’t operate smoothly,

HOW TO PREPARE THE LAWN MOWER FOR
STORAGE
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe
burns or death
When storing fuel or equipment with fuel in the tank, keep
it away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, or other
appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition sources
because they can ignite fuel vapors
For extended storage, prepare the lawn mower as follows.
1. Drain the fuel from the tank into an approved container.
Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel.
2. While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil.
3. Thoroughly clean the lawn mower of all dirt, debris, and
grass clippings underneath the mower housing.
4. Make sure all fasteners are secure.
5. Fold the handle down, if desired.
6. Store the lawn mower in a clean, dry location, free of
grass, leaves, or excessive grease. Do not cover the
lawn mower while the engine is warm.

ABOUT YOUR WARRANTY
Warranty service is available only through Snapper Authorized Service Dealers. This warranty covers only defects in materials or workmanship. It does not cover damage
caused by improper use or abuse, improper maintenance or repair, normal wear and tear, or stale or unapproved fuel.
Improper Use and Abuse - The proper, intended use of this product is described in the Operator’s Manual. Using the product in a way not described in the Operator’s
Manual or using the product after it has been damaged will not be covered under this warranty. Warranty coverage will also not be provided if the serial number on the
product has been removed or the product has been altered or modified in any way, or if the product has evidence of abuse such as impact damage or water/chemical
corrosion damage.
Improper Maintenance or Repair - This product must be maintained according to the procedures and schedules provided in the Operator’s Manual, and serviced or
repaired using genuine Briggs & Stratton parts or equivalent. Damage caused by lack of maintenance or use of non-original parts is not covered by warranty.

use has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment. Maintenance and wear items such as filters, belts, cutting blades, and brake pads (except engine brake pads) are
not covered by warranty due to wear characteristics alone, unless the cause is due to defects in material or workmanship.
Stale or Unapproved Fuel - In order to function correctly, this product requires fresh fuel that conforms to the criteria specified in the Operator’s Manual. Engine or
equipment damage caused by stale fuel or the use of unapproved fuels (such as E15 or E85 ethanol blends) is not covered by warranty.

Attachments or accessories that were not originally packaged with the product are also excluded. There is no warranty coverage on equipment used for primary power in
place of utility power or on equipment used in life support applications. This warranty does not include used, reconditioned, second-hand, or demonstration equipment or
engines. This warranty also excludes failures due to acts of God and other force majeure events beyond the manufacturer’s control.
