INTRODUCTION  
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.  
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 bags often to minimize effect on  
stability and handling. Over filling the catcher bags will  
reduce performance and cause clogging of the hose,  
blower and deck.  
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.  
2. Empty catcher bags more often.  
3. Clean screen on 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.  
6. Grass is too wet from rain or dew – allow grass to dry.  
7. Blades are dull or worn – inspect blades and replace as  
necessary. Use only genuine SNAPPER replacement  
blades.  
8. Deck, blower, or hose has clipping build up – clean all  
clippings from all internal surfaces.  
7. Do not operate the machine with the Grass Catcher  
cover open. The entire Grass Catcher must be installed,  
the cover closed and latched properly before operating.  
WARNING  
!
!
EMPTYING GRASS CATCHER  
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. Empty Grass Catcher bags 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.  
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.  
3. Stop motion of machine by returning Motion Control(s)  
to Neutral (N). Set Park Brake. Stop engine.  
4. Unlatch cover and lift. Remove bags and dump debris  
in desired location.  
WARNING  
!
!
DO NOT attempt any adjustments, maintenance or  
repairs with engine running. STOP blades. STOP  
engine. Remove key.  
WARNING  
!
!
5. After dumping, to maintain peak performance, check  
the catcher screen located on the inside of the Cover  
Assembly to make sure it is clean and free of any build  
up. Clean as required with brush or broom.  
Grass Catcher components are subject to deteriora-  
tion. Inspect frequently. Replace worn or damaged  
components immediately. Use only genuine SNAPPER  
replacement parts.  
6. Close catcher cover and latch.  
7. Re-start engine and drive machine to cutting area. Set  
engine speed to highest setting, engage blades and  
resume operation.

2 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY  
For two (2) years from purchase date for the original purchaser's residential, non-commercial use, SNAPPER, through any  
authorized SNAPPER dealer will replace, free of charge (except for taxes where applicable), any part or parts found upon  
examination by the factory at McDonough, Georgia, to be defective in material or workmanship or both.  
For one (1) year from purchase date for the original purchaser's commercial, non-residential use, SNAPPER, through any  
authorized SNAPPER dealer will replace, free of charge, any part or parts found upon examination by the factory at  
McDonough, Georgia, to be defective in material or workmanship or both.  
For ninety (90) days from purchase date for the original purchaser's rental use, SNAPPER, through any authorized SNAP-  
PER dealer will replace, free of charge, any part or parts found upon examination by the factory at McDonough, Georgia,  
to be defective in material or workmanship or both  
All transportation costs incurred by the purchaser in submitting material to an authorized SNAPPER dealer for replace-  
ment under this warranty must be paid by the purchaser.  
This warranty does not apply to certain transmissions, to engines and their components, and batteries, as these items are  
warranted separately. This warranty does not apply to parts that have been damaged by accident, alteration, abuse,  
improper lubrication, normal wear, or other cause beyond the control of SNAPPER. This warranty does not cover any  
machine or component part that has been altered or modified changing safety, performance, or durability.  
Batteries have a one (1) year warranty period with free replacement if required for one (1) year from the original purchase  
date. SNAPPER will not be responsible for any installation cost incurred. The battery warranty only covers original equip-  
ment batteries and does not cover damage to the battery or machine caused by neglect or abuse, destruction by fire,  
explosion, freezing, overcharging, improper maintenance, or use of improper electrolyte.  
There is no other express warranty.  
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY  
Implied warranties, including those of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, are limited to two (2) years from  
purchase date for the original purchaser's residential or other non-commercial use, and one (1) year from purchase for the  
original purchaser's commercial, non-residential use, and ninety (90) days from purchase for the original purchaser's rental  
use and to the extent permitted by law, any and all implied warranties are excluded. This is the exclusive remedy. Liabilities  
for consequential damages, under any and all warranties are excluded.  
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or do not allow the exclusion or limitation of  
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.  
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.  
WARNING: THE USE OF REPLACEMENT PARTS OTHER THAN GENUINE SNAPPER PARTS MAY IMPAIR THE  
SAFETY OF SNAPPER PRODUCTS AND WILL VOID ANY LIABILITY AND WARRANTY BY SNAPPER ASSOCIATED  
WITH THE USE OF SUCH PARTS.
