-- Do not change the engine governor setting or over speed
the engine.
-- Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment,
operator controls, and safety signs.
-- Stop on level ground, shut off engine before leaving the
operator's position for any reason.
-- All operators and mechanics should be trained. The
owner is responsible for training the users.
-- Stop equipment and inspect impeller blades after striking
objects or abnormal vibration occurs. Make necessary
repairs before resuming operations.
-- Only allow responsible adults, who are familiar with the
instructions, to operate the unit.
-- Never let children or untrained people operate or service
the equipment. Local regulations may restrict the age of the

unit operation & maintenance 4
If you must back machine to dump clippings in desired
location, LOOK and SEE behind and down for children,
pets and hazards before and while backing.
INTRODUCTION
Follow operation and maintenance instructions in the
Operator’s Manual provided with the Snapper Mid-
Mount Z-Rider.
3. Stop motion of machine by returning Motion Control(s)
to Neutral (N). Set Park Brake. Stop engine.
4. Lift up on handle sufficiently to allow all clippings to exit
catcher. If the dumped pile is too high to allow the catch-
er to close, you may be required to use a rake or simi-
lar implement to distribute the clippings.
5. After dumping, to maintain peak performance, check
the catcher screen located on the inside of the Rear
Cover Assembly to make sure it is clean and free of any
build up. Clean as required with brush or broom.
6. Close catcher. Push down firmly on handle to insure it
is properly latched.
GRASS CATCHER OPERATION
1. Select desired cutting height. Choose a setting that will
not attempt to cut off too much at once, overloading the
machine.
2. After starting engine and allowing a brief warm up peri-
od, move engine speed control to highest setting.
3. Drive machine to cutting area. Engage blades.
4. Select a slow forward ground speed until familiar with
conditions. Do not select a speed that is too fast, caus-
ing the machine to become overloaded.
5. The weight of the grass catcher and contents will affect
the stability and handling of the machine. Avoid sudden
starts and sharp turns. Reduce speed on slopes, and
DO NOT operate machine on slopes exceeding 10
degrees (18% grade). Operate machine up and down
slopes. DO NOT operate machine across the face of
slopes. Turn blades off when traveling up slope.
6. Empty grass catcher often to minimize effect on stabili-
ty and handling. Over filling the catcher will reduce per-
formance and cause clogging of the hose, blower and
deck.
7. Re-start engine and drive machine to cutting area. Set
engine speed to highest setting, engage blades and
resume operation.
WARNING
!
!
DO NOT attempt to remove any clogs from deck, blow-
er, or hose with engine or blade running. STOP engine.
STOP blades. Set brake. Remove key. Make sure
blades and all rotating components have come to a
complete stop before removing any catcher or unclog-
ging any catcher component.
7. Do not operate the machine with the Grass Catcher
open. The entire Grass Catcher must be installed, the
catcher closed and latched properly before operating.
IF THE GRASS CATCHER BECOMES CLOGGED
The grass catcher may become plugged if the conditions
are too severe, the catcher is overfilled, or the machine is
used improperly. If plugging does occur, attempt the follow-
ing:
1. Engine speed too slow – set engine speed control to
“FAST” position.
EMPTYING GRASS CATCHER
1. Empty Grass Catcher often to avoid overfilling.
Overfilling reduces performance and causes clogging of
hose, blower and deck.
2. Turn blades off. Drive machine to location the clippings
are to be dumped. DO NOT operate blades in reverse.

To Clear A Plugged Blower
1. Stop blades and blower. Stop engine. Remove key.
2. After all rotating components have come to a complete
stop, loosen the hose clamp at the outlet of the blower.
3. Remove hose from blower.
2. Empty catcher more often.
3. Clean screen on rear cover assembly.
4. Ground speed too fast – cut at slower speed.
5. Removing too much grass – raise cutting height, cut
partial width, and cut lawn more frequently.
4. Using a stick or similar object, clear all obstructions
from blower. DO NOT INSERT HAND.
5. Reinstall hose to blower and securely tighten hose
clamp.

!
BEFORE EACH USE
DO NOT put fingers or hands inside blower! STOP
blades. STOP engine. Remove key. Use only a stick, or
other suitable means, to clear the blower of clogs or
other obstructions!
1. Perform pre-start checklist and maintenance as
instructed in the SNAPPER Mid-Mount Z-Rider
Operator’s Manual and Engine Owner’s Manual includ-
ed with the machine.
2. Clamshell Catcher. Inspect all catcher components.
Replace all worn or damaged parts.
3. Deck, Blower, Hose. Clean grass build up from deck,
blower, hose, covers and rear cover screen. To maintain
peak performance make sure screen is clean at each
dumping.
4. Hose. Check hose for wear, tears and holes. Replace
as needed.
5. Blades. Check blades for sharpness, wear, flatness
and damage. Refer to MMZ Operator’s Manual for
blade wear limits and sharpening/replacement instruc-
tions.
WARNING
!
!
DO NOT attempt any adjustments, maintenance or
repairs with engine running. STOP blades. STOP
engine. Remove key.
WARNING

6. Blower. Check blower impeller, blower housing and
inlet/outlets for signs of wear and deterioration. Replace
as needed. Check all fasteners and hardware to insure
none are missing and all are tightened securely.
Lubricate impeller shaft bearings with 1 to 3 shots of
General Purpose grease from a grease gun.
To Clear A Plugged Hose
1. Stop blades. Stop engine. Remove key.
2. After all rotating components (engine, blower, blades)
