Snapper Rear Tine Tiller Leaflet

 

 

 
INTRODUCTION:  Uncrate unit and check for any damage and report immediately. Make repairs as necessary. The 
handle is shipped reversed and attached to the handle bracket to allow overall lower profile for shipment. The two        #2-
8725 Hex Cap Screw and two #9-1606 Lock Nut in #6-1794 Hardware Bag are spare pieces for securing tines in case of 
shear bolt failure during operation. Keep these pieces for future use. 
 
STEP 1:  Remove handle from “L” bracket. Remove “L” 
bracket from handle bracket and discard. Rotate handle 
around and prepare to secure to machine and handle bracket. 
STEP 2:  Wheel and Tine Control Bail is attached to the 
handle. Install handle bar onto rear of main case using Part 
Number 9-1681, Hex Flange Lock Bolt and Part Number 9-
1070, Hex Flange Lock Nut being careful not to kink cable. 
See Figure 1. Route clutch cable between handle bar and 
handle bracket. See Figure 1. Secure handle bar to handle 
bracket. Insert Part Number 9-0831, Hex Cap Screw into 
middle hole of handle bar and secure with Part Number 9-
1067, Hex Lock Nut. See Figure 1. If handle bar needs more 
adjustment then go to Step 2. If position of handle bar is 
satisfactory tighten all nuts and bolts securely. 
 

 

 
STEP 3:  Handle bar adjustment can made by removing 
Part Number 9-0831, Hex Cap Screw and Part Number 
9-1067, Hex Lock Nut from handle bar bracket and 
handle bar and moving into another hole position. Adjust 
handle bar “UP” or “DOWN” as required in the 
corresponding “Low”, “Medium”, or “High” holes located 
in the handle bar. See Figure 2. 
 

 

 

STEP 4:  Belt Tension adjustment will have to be 
checked after set-up is complete. From the right side 
under the fuel tank, measure the length of the idler pulley 
spring at the end of the control cable in a relaxed 
position. Then move wheel and tine control bail up to the 
handle bar and measure the extended length of the 
spring. When properly adjusted, the spring will extend 
3/4” to 1”. See Figure 3. To adjust, loosen and reposition 
the two jam nuts on the threaded end of cable located on 
the dash panel. Move jam nuts toward the end of 
threaded end of cable for more tension. Move jam nuts 
in a direction away from the end of threaded end of cable 
for less tension. See Figure 4. After adjustment, retighten 
both jam nuts against dash panel. On some older 
models the left wheel and belt guard may need to be 
removed for spring access.
