This SNAPPER Walk Behind Mower uses a handle engine control bail system to kill the engine for the SAFETY 
of the operator.  These mowers are designed for quick set-up. The checklist on Page 4 should be filled out by 
the dealer as the items are checked off and/or performed and the Consumer/Operator Product Registration card 
filled out and sent to the Customer Service department at SNAPPER when completed. CAUTION: Cutting blades 
are extremely sharp. Wear heavy leather gloves when handling or working with blades. Be careful to avoid 
cutting yourself on sharp edges of blade.  
 
STEP 1: Remove unit from carton.  Remove packing 
material from unit and unfold handles. Do this carefully to 
prevent cables from hanging up or becoming kinked.  
STEP 2: The bolts attaching the lower handle to the 
handle brackets are for shipping purposes only.  Remove 
those bolts, and insert two curved head bolts out through 
each handle bracket and lower handle tube, securing 
with internal lock washers and nylon lock nuts. Tighten 
securely. See Figure 1. 
STEP 3: Remove the two shipping bolts (one each side) 
attaching the upper handle to the lower handle.  Replace 
each with a curved head bolt, inserting out through each 
side, and securing with an internal lock washer and a 
plastic T-knob nut.  Tighten securely.  See Figure 1. 
STEP 4: Secure control cables along each side of handle 
assembly with four cable clips, positioning them as 
shown in Figure 1. Make sure that cables are set into 
relief loops in cable clips. Once clips are installed, make 
sure that all controls operate without binding. 

 
STEP 5: Pull blade control bail against handle and at the 
same time, pull engine rope handle and slip pull cord into 
rope guide located on handle. See Figure 2. 
STEP 6: Install Operator Console onto upper handle with 
four 1/4-20 x 1/2” torx screws.  Also, firmly press control 
knobs onto engine speed and ground speed control levers.  
(NOTE: Both knobs are identical.)  See Figure 2. 
 
 
 
 

 
 
STEP 7: Remove hairpin from cable mounting stud on 
back of wheel control lever.  Slip ring end of cable onto 
stud, and replace hair pin.  See Figure 3.

STEP 8: Tip mower back against the upper handle to gain 
access to cutting blade. Remove foam shipping block 
from cutting blade. This must be removed before starting 
the engine.
