3.1 INTRODUCTION 
To retain the quality of the SNAPPER Out Front Z-Rider, 
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 
Out Front Z-Rider, always mention the model and serial 
number.  SNAPPER recommends returning the Out Front 
Z-Rider to an authorized SNAPPER dealer annually for 
inspection and addition of any new devices which might 
upgrade the safety of the Out Front Z-Rider.  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.
