21" CAST ALUMINUM REAR DISCHARGE WALK BEHIND MOWERS
This SNAPPER Walk Behind Mower uses a handle engine control bail system to kill the engine for the SAFETY
of the operator. These mowers are designed for quick set-up. The checklist on Page 3 should be filled out by
the dealer as the items are checked off and/or performed and the Consumer/Operator Product Registration card
filled out and sent to the Customer Service department at SNAPPER when completed. CAUTION: Cutting blades
are extremely sharp. Wear heavy leather gloves when handling or working with blades. Be careful to avoid
cutting yourself on sharp edges of blade.
STEP 1: Remove unit from carton and unfold handle. Do
this carefully to prevent cables from hanging up or
becoming kinked. It will be necessary to remove

time, pull engine rope handle and wrap pull cord into rope
guides that are located on handles. See Figure 1.

access to cutting blade. Remove foam shipping block
from cutting blade. This must be removed before starting
the engine.
