Section 2 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 
 
WARNING 
Cutting on slopes is dangerous. Exercise extreme 
caution. Loss of footing can result in serious injury. 
Cut across slopes - never up and down. Practice on 
slopes with blade off. 
 
2.6  SWIVEL WHEEL LOCK and UNLOCK 
 
IMPORTANT:
 Engage the lock on the swivel wheel to 
maintain better control of machine when operating on 
slopes. 
 
1.  Stand in the operator’s position. Push machine 
forward until swivel wheel is positioned in the 
forward direction. Wheel must be positioned in a 
forward direction to engage swivel wheel lock. 
2.  Push wheel lock lever forward to lock swivel 
wheel in place. Swivel wheel will stay in the forward 
direction position. See Figure 2.9.

2.7  RECYCLING OPERATION (OPTIONAL) 
Recycling operation requires an optional accessory. 
Contact your local Snapper dealer for details. 
 
NOTE: For best recycling results, cut up to a maximum 
of 1/3 of grass blade length and recycle ONLY when 
grass is dry. 
 
1.  Set all wheels in the highest cutting position 
(Notch 6). 
2.  Move engine speed control to “FAST” (Rabbit) 
position. 
3. Move ground speed control to slowest speed 
setting. 
4.  Proceed mowing slowly. If grass is very dense, 
lower each rear wheel latch one notch lower than 
the front wheel to improve recycling performance.
