Snapper 6-1824 Dépliant

STEP 3: (Continued from previous Page) Hook grass 
bag handles over the middle handle of the machine. See 
Figure 4. 
 
 

 

NOTE: Some models have the rope start handle mounted 
with a rope guide on the upper handle. The rope guide will 
have to be relocated to the right side of handles as viewed 
from the operator’s position.  
 
STEP 4: Pull blade control against handle, hold in this 
position, unwrap rope from rope guide. Rope and handle 
will retract back into engine. Release blade control. 
Remove rope guide from side of handle. Reinstall guide 
to the right side of handles using mounting hardware 
that secures engine speed control. Pull blade control 
against handle, hold in this position, and pull rope start 
with handle up past rope guide. Hold in this position and 
release blade control and use both hands to loop the 
rope back through the rope guide. See Figure 5. 
 

 

 

 
STEP 5: Once grass bag and adapter has been 
installed, recycling may be desired. Remove grass bag 
and insert recycling plug completely and securely into 
adapter. See Figure 6. 
IMPORTANT! GRASS CATCHER MUST BE 
INSTALLED WHEN USING RECYCLING PLUG.  
 

 

 
STEP 6: To change blade, tilt mower up on its rear 
wheels for access to the blade cap screw. Do not tilt 
mower with spark plug or carburetor down. Remove 
retaining cap screw, cone washer and standard cutting 
blade from blade hub. Save standard blade for future 
reinstallation. See Figure 7. 
NOTE: The blade shown is primarily intended to be used 
with the grass catcher, but can be used with other 
accessories. Some kits may also include a specialty 
Ninja recycling blade to be used with the recycling plug. 
 

 

 
STEP 7: Install new blade against the drive hub with the 
flanges fitting over the two edges of drive hub as shown. 
Blade must be inside the lip of deck. Install cone washer 
(Concave side of washer should face toward blade) and 
cap screw. Tighten cap screw to 30 to 40 ft lbs. of torque 
and always use a SNAPPER GRADE 5 cap screw; 
never use a substitute.
