  Tyler RamirezAug 28, 2025
  If your Snapper Lawn Mower is cutting grass improperly, there are several potential causes. First, ensure that the tire pressure is even (15 PSI front tire & 12 PSI rear tire). Adjust the cutting height if it's too low or high. Make sure the engine speed isn't too slow by moving the throttle control to the 'FAST' position. If the forward speed is too fast, move the transmission shift lever to a slower speed. Adjust the side to side level if there's a terraced cut. Adjust the front to rear pitch if there's excessive deck pitch. Sharpen or replace dull or damaged cutting blades. Finally, adjust the tension or replace the mower belt if it's slipping.
