To retain the quality of the Turf Cruiser™/Trail Cruiser™ 
utility vehicle, use genuine SNAPPER replacement parts 
only.  Contact a local SNAPPER dealer for parts and 
service assistance. For the correct part or information, 
always mention the model and serial number. SNAPPER 
recommends returning the utility vehicle to an authorized 
SNAPPER dealer annually for inspection and addition of 
any new devices, which might upgrade the safety of the 
machine.  For the nearest SNAPPER dealer in your area, 
check the Yellow Pages under the heading “LAWN 
MOWERS”. For engine parts and service, look for the 
engine manufacturer’s dealers under the heading, 
“ENGINES – Gasoline”. 
 

Routine maintenance is important to the performance 
and life of your vehicle. Service performed properly and 
at the recommended interval is essential. Refer to 
Section “MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE” in this manual 
and in the Engine Owner’s Manual. Carefully complete 
all of the recommended service procedures.

bed, the bed must be empty and the prop rod securely 
latched.
