SNAPPER ZERO TURNING Z-RIDER with MID MOUNT MOWER 
 
INTRODUCTION: These instructions cover the set-up of the Snapper Mid Mount Z-Rider Mower. Complete each 
of the following steps carefully. Review and complete each item as instructed on the Pre-Operation checklist. 
The Snapper Product Registration card must be filled out and sent to Customer Service department at Snapper 
when completed. 
 
IMPORTANT: The battery for this unit is maintenance-free.  It is filled with acid and is sealed.  Do not attempt to 
open the battery.  Pay close attention to the precautionary statements on the battery and in these instructions. 
If charging is needed (see below), you will need an automotive type battery charger to activate the battery for 
use. 
 
STEP 1: Remove machine from the container.  
STEP 2: Install roll bar protective structure: 
A.  Install side bars into frame brackets behind fuel 
tanks, making sure bars aim up and bend toward 
front of machine. See Figure 1. Secure each bar to 
its corresponding bracket with two 1/2-13 x 3-1/4” 
hex bolts and lock nuts. Do not tighten yet.

B.  Attach roll bar to side bars, securing with two 
1/2-13 x 3-1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts through the 
hinges. See Figure 2. NOTE: Make sure roll bar tilts 
backward when folded. 
C.  Raise roll bar to fully upright position, aligning 
locking holes in roll bar with corresponding holes in 
side bars. Insert locking pin through each hole, and 
secure with connected bridge pin. Install star knobs 
into threaded holes in front of roll bar, and tighten 
securely. See Figure 2. 
D.  Tighten hardware securing side bars to frame 
brackets, torquing to 60-70 ft-lbs. Tighten roll bar 
hardware as well; however, leave loose enough so 
that roll bar folds and raises easily.   
 
WARNING 
Roll bar protective structure must be installed and all 
mounting hardware securely tightened before starting 
or operating machine.  Do Not modify the structure in 
any way before, during or after installation. Modifying 
the structure can result in serious injury or death.

STEP 3: Check the date on the battery label. See 
Figure 3. If battery is placed into service after date 
shown on label, battery will have to be charged: 
A. Remove battery from the battery compartment 
before charging. 
B. Place battery in a well ventilated area on a level 
non-concrete surface. 
C. Charge the battery at 6-10 amps for 1 hour to 
bring the battery to full charge. 
 
WARNING 
Keep all sparks, flame and fire away from area when 
charging battery. 
 
STEP 4: Install battery into power unit. 
STEP 5:  Both bolts are already installed on both 
terminals. Connect positive (+) cable (red) first, from 
wiring harness to the positive terminal (+) on battery 
and secure with nut provided in hardware bag. Connect 
negative (-) cable (black) last, to negative terminal (-
on battery and secure with nut also provided. See 
Figure 3. Apply a small amount of grease over 
terminals to prevent corrosion.   
 
WARNING 
Shield the positive terminal with terminal cover 
located on battery harness. This prevents metal 
from touching the positive terminal, which could 
cause sparks.
