Section 4 - MAINTENANCE 
 
4.1 INTRODUCTION 
To retain the quality of the SNAPPER mower, use 
genuine SNAPPER replacement parts only. Contact 
a local SNAPPER dealer for parts and service 
assistance. For the correct part or information for a 
particular SNAPPER mower, always mention the 
model and serial number. SNAPPER recommends 
returning the mower to an authorized SNAPPER 
dealer annually for inspection and addition of any 
new devices, which might upgrade the safety of the 
mower. For the nearest SNAPPER dealer in your 
area, check the yellow pages under the heading 
LAWN MOWERS. For engine parts and service, 
look for the engine manufacturer’s dealers under the 
heading, ENGINES - gasoline. 
 
4.2  SERVICE - AFTER FIRST 5 HOURS 
 
WARNING 
DO NOT attempt any maintenance, adjustments or 
service with engine running. STOP engine. STOP 
blades. Set brake. Remove key. Remove spark plug 
wires and secure away from spark plugs. Engine 
and components are HOT. Avoid serious burns; 
allow sufficient time for all parts to cool.

machine high enough to gain access to the 
underside of deck. Secure machine with safety 
blocks. 
 
WARNING

working around cutting blades. Blades are extremely 
sharp and can cause severe injury. DO NOT use a 
cutting blade that shows signs of excessive wear or 
damage. Refer to Section  “MOWER BLADE 
REPLACEMENT” for proper blade inspection and 
service procedures.
