IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATION
(Continued From Previous Page)
16. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause
loss of traction and loss of control. When towing, travel
slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
17. DO NOT operate engine in enclosed areas. Engine
exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a deadly poi-
son.
18. DO NOT discharge material against a wall or obstruction.
Material may ricochet back towards the operator.
19. Only use accessories approved by the manufacturer. See
manufacturer's instructions for proper operation and
installation of accessories.
TOWING
1. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for
towing. DO NOT attach towed equipment except at the
hitch point.
2. Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight
limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes.
3. DO NOT allow children or others on towed equipment.
4. On slopes, the weight of the towed equipment may cause
loss of traction and loss of control.
5. Travel slowly and allow extra distance to stop.
MAINTENANCE
1. DO NOT store machine or fuel container inside where
fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light such
as in a water heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas
appliance. Allow engine to cool before storing machine in
an enclosure. Store fuel container out of the reach of chil-
dren in a well ventilated, unoccupied building.
2. Keep engine free of grass, leaves or excess grease to
reduce fire hazard and engine overheating.

3. When draining fuel tank, drain fuel into an approved con-
tainer outdoors and away from open flame.
4. Check brakes frequently; adjust, repair or replace as
needed.
5. Keep all bolts, nuts and screws properly tight. Check that
all cotter pins are in proper position.
6. Always provide adequate ventilation when running
engine. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadly poison.
7. Disconnect negative (black) cable from battery before
performing maintenance or service. Cranking engine
could cause injury.
8. DO NOT work under machine without safety blocks.
9. Service engine and make adjustments only when engine
is stopped. Remove spark plug wire(s) from spark plug(s)
and secure wire(s) away from spark plug(s).
10. DO NOT change engine governor speed settings or over-
speed engine.
11. Lubricate machine at intervals specified in manual to pre-
vent controls from binding.
12. Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blades or
wear heavy leather gloves and use CAUTION when han-
dling them.
13. DO NOT test for spark by grounding spark plug next to
spark plug hole; spark plug could ignite gas exiting
engine.
14. Have machine serviced by an authorized SNAPPER deal-
er at least once a year and have the dealer install any new
safety devices.
15. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels as nec-
essary.
16. Use only genuine SNAPPER replacement parts to assure
that original standards are maintained.
