Section 3 – MAINTENANCE 
 
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. 
 
WARNING 
DO NOT attempt any maintenance, adjustments or 
service with engine and blade running. STOP engine 
and blade. Disconnect spark plug wire and secure 
away from spark plug. Engine and components are 
HOT. Avoid serious burns, allow sufficient time for 
all components to cool. 
 
3.2  SERVICE - AFTER FIRST 5 HOURS 
3.2.1.  CHANGE ENGINE OIL 
 
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. Stand mower up on lower handle 
brackets as shown in Figure 3.1. Drain oil through 
dipstick tube into a container. Allow sufficient time for 
all oil to drain.  NOTE: On self-propelled models, 
wheel drive rod prohibits handles from being folded. 
Simply turn mower on its side to drain oil.

3.  Dispose of drain oil properly. 
4.  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.
