Snapper MCS2000 Merkblatt

 

The Snapper LE snow throwers are shipped with the upper handle folded forward, and with the discharge chute 
and chute control handle detached. These machines are designed for quick set-up. No special tools are 
required. Carefully follow and complete each step. Review and complete each item as instructed on the Pre-
Operation checklist. The Snapper Product Registration card must be filled out and sent to the Customer Service 
department at SNAPPER when completed.  
 
STEP 1: Remove machine from shipping carton. Machine is 
shipped in carton with handles folded. Remove and discard 
cardboard from between all handles. The right side of upper 
handle is positioned on the outside of lower handle. The 
upper handle should be moved to the inside of the lower 
handle and bolt and knob reinstalled. Raise upper handle 
until the lower ends seat into concave area of lower handle. 
Securely tighten upper handle with knobs and curved head 
bolts on both sides. See Figure 1. 
 

 
STEP 2: Install lower chute handle onto chute with two 
hex cap screws. Install chute/handle assembly onto 
discharge opening and secure with three carriage bolts 
and nuts. Tighten all nuts and bolts securely but, do not 
overtighten. See Figure 2. 
 
STEP 3: Measure auger clutch control cable extension from 
a relaxed position to full extended position. Proper extension 
should be between 1/2” minimum to 3/4”maximum 
extension. NOTE: Measure from the top of spring (The top 
is in relation to where spring hooks into auger clutch 
control). Loosen jam nut at the upper end of cable. Hold 
threaded end of cable and then turn cable clockwise until 
correct extension is achieved. Retighten jam nut. 
IMPORTANT: DO NOT over tighten cable. The cable must 
have slack for the auger brake to function properly. See 
Figure 3.
