SERVICE PROCEDURE
Your Snapper mower requires very little service,
however, it is important that the engine be serviced
at the intervals specified in the engine manual fur¬
nished with your mower.
To retain the integrity of your mower, only use Ge¬
nuine Snapper Replacement Parts.
By returning your mower to an Authorized Snapper
Dealer on a yearly basis for inspection and addition
of any new devices to upgrade your mower, the
reliability of the unit’s functions will be assured.
Check the yellow pages under LAWN MOWERS for
the nearest Snapper Dealer. Always mention the
model and serial number of your mower when con¬
tacting the dealer for information, parts, or service.
WARNING: Always disconnect the spark plug wire
from the spark plug when Inspecting/servicing the
(power - to prevent unintentional engine start-ups.
NOTE: When tipping the mower to work on the
underside, always tilt the mower with the spark plug
UP to prevent flooding the engine with gasoline
and/or oil which would cause hard starting after ser¬
vicing.
For engine parts/service, check the yellow pages
under the heading ENGINES - gasoline, for the
nearest engine manufacturer’s dealer.
