DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS & CHECKLIST for SNAPPER
26" HIGH WHEEL MOWERS
This SNAPPER High Wheel Mower is equipped with a Blade Brake Clutch (BBC). This allows the machine to be
started and operated with the blade disengaged (OFF). Releasing the blade control on this machine STOPS only
the blade. The engine continues to run. The engine is stopped by moving the engine speed control to STOP
position. These mowers are designed for quick set-up. The checklist 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 High Wheel mower from crate.
STEP 2: Rotate handle brackets until they line up with
holes in rear case. Install bolts (5/16"X 1" carriage) from
inside and use 5/16"-18 Nylok nuts to secure. DO NOT
tighten at this time.
STEP 3: Assemble handles onto handle brackets using
hardware provided in kit. Tighten to 12 to 22 ft. lbs.
NOTE: Make sure control cables are routed on the
inside of handles and are not pinched.
STEP 4: Install speed control rod into speed control
sector. See Figure 1.
