3.1 INTRODUCTION 

To retain the quality of the Tractor, 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 Tractor, 
always mention the model and serial number. SNAPPER 
recommends returning the Tractor to an authorized 
SNAPPER dealer annually for inspection and addition 
of any new devices, which might upgrade the safety of 
the Tractor.  For the nearest SNAPPER dealer in your

MOWERS. For engine parts and service, look for the 
engine manufacturer’s dealers under the heading,
