2.7 RECYCLING OPERATION (OPTIONAL)
Recycling operation requires an optional accessory.
Contact your local Snapper dealer for details.
NOTE: For best recycling results, cut up to a maximum
of 1/3 of grass blade length and recycle ONLY when
grass is dry.
1. Set all wheels in the highest cutting position
(Notch 6).
2. Move engine speed control to "FAST" (Rabbit)
position.
3. Move ground speed control to slowest speed
setting.
4. Proceed mowing slowly. If grass is very dense,
lower each rear wheel latch one notch lower than
the front wheel to improve recycling performance.
