NEUTRAL POSITION ADJUSTMENTS 
The joystick controls the movement and stopping 
of the machine. Move the joystick to the center or 
neutral position to stop machine. IMPORTANT: 
Always return the joystick with hand assistance to 
the neutral position. If machine does not come to a 
complete stop or has any movement when joystick 
is moved to the neutral position, adjustment must 
be made. 
1.  Turn key to “OFF” position. 
2.  Raise both wheels off the ground. Wheels 
should be high enough to rotate freely. Secure with 
safety blocks. 
3.  Disconnect parking brake rod from parking 
brake. 
4.  Engage parking brake lever. NOTE: Engaging 
parking brake without brake rod connected will 
lock joystick in center or neutral position. 
5.  Turn key to start position and start engine. 
6.  Both wheels should be still, not rotating. 
7.  If wheel(s) are rotating, disconnect 
transmission control rods from cross shaft and 
turn adjusting bolts located on pump(s) clockwise, 
or counter-clockwise, until wheel(s) stop rotating. 
See Figure 4.1. 
8.  With wheels in neutral, (not rotating) stop 
engine and readjust the length of the control rods 
until they fit into the cross shaft arms and 
reconnect. Tighten securely. 
9.  Reconnect park brake rod. 
10.  Start engine. Release park brake. Wheels 
should not be rotating if adjusted properly. Repeat 
adjustment if necessary. 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

MOWER DECK & COMPONENT ADJUSTMENTS 
The following mower deck and component 
adjustments and repairs can be made by the owner.  
However, if there is difficulty in making these 
adjustments and repairs, it is recommended that 
these repairs be made by an authorized SNAPPER 
dealer. 

 
4.2.1.  MOWER DECK ADJUSTMENT (LEVELNESS) 

SIDE to SIDE and FRONT to REAR 
Before making deck leveling adjustments, check 
tires and add or release air as needed to bring 
pressure to 12 psi in drive tires (Turf Type Tires), 5 
psi (All Terrain Type Tires) and 25 psi in rear caster 
tires. Pressure in front deck caster wheels should be 
25 psi.  
If tires are properly inflated and mowing is still 
uneven, adjust deck levelness as follows: 
1.  Place mower on a smooth level surface. 
2.  Raise deck to highest cutting position. 
3.  Place 2x4 blocks under front edge of deck beside 
caster wheels. Blocks should be on both sides of 
deck. Make deck relatively level by positioning 
blocks. Both caster wheels must be off the ground. 
4. Loosen leveling bracket at center rear deck 
support. See Figure 4.2. This allows the lift arm to 
settle down into hitch brackets.
