Snapper RP217017BVE Manuel D’Utilisation

 

 
3.1 INTRODUCTION 

To retain the quality of the mower, 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 
mower, always mention model and serial number. 

 
IMPORTANT: Drain fuel tank before tipping machine. 
DO NOT tip machine with carburetor or spark plug down. 
Oil from crankcase will saturate the air filter and cause the 
engine to be hard to start or not start at all. If 
contamination does occur, the air filter will have to be 
replaced. 
 

1.  Refer to Engine Manual for proper oil 

specifications, procedures and proper service 
intervals. 

2.  For simplest/cleanest oil change, loosen lower 

handle nuts. Remove two of the four bolts and fold 
handles. Stand mower up on lower handle brackets as 
shown in Figure 3.1A. Drain oil through dipstick tube 
into a container. Allow sufficient time for all oil to drain. 

3. Alternate Oil Drain: Procedure: The Honda 

engines are equipped with oil fill caps. See Figure 
3.1.B. Remove oil fill cap, tip machine to drain oil. 
Allow sufficient time for all oil to drain. Reinstall cap 
and tighten securely. 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

4.  Dispose of drain oil properly. 
5.  Fill engine with oil as specified in Engine Manual. 

Do Not overfill. 

 

3.2.2.  CHECK GREASE LEVEL IN TRANSMISSION 
1.  Remove transmission fill plug. Roll machine 
forward or backward while looking down into plug 
hole.  
2. If liquid grease IS NOT visible on the input gear 
(the small gear below the plug hole), add an 
amount, to cover gear, of Snapper “00” grease. See 
Figure 3.2. 
 

 

 
NOTE: Snapper “00” Grease (Part No. 2-9443) is 
available at your SNAPPER dealer.
