SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS & PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST

SNAPPER EUROPEAN 21” ‘EASY LINE’ WALK BEHIND MOWERS

INTRODUCTION: The SNAPPER ‘Easy Line’ Walk Behind Mowers are shipped almost fully assembled and

require minimal set-up. Complete each of the following steps carefully. Review and complete each item as

instructed on the Pre-Operation checklist. The Snapper Product Registration card must be filled out and sent to

Customer Service department at Snapper when completed.

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START OR OPERATE THIS MACHINE UNTIL ALL ASSEMBLY STEPS HAVE

BEEN COMPLETED. SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE MAY RESULT.

HANDLE ASSEMBLY

STEP 1: Remove mower from shipping carton. Mower

shown as removed from shipping carton. See Figure 1.

STEP 2: Unfold upper handle until it aligns with and

seats into lower handle. Securely tighten upper handle

T-Knobs on both sides. See Figure 1.

FIGURE 1

STEP 3: Lift handle assembly up and back over

machine. See Figure 2.

FIGURE 2

STEP 4: Align holes in lower handle with one of three

height adjustment holes in mounting brackets. See

Figure 3. Insert one carriage bolt into desired hole in

each bracket, out through lower handle, and secure with

T-Knob, tightening securely. (NOTE: Carriage bolts and

T-Knobs may already be installed in brackets; simply

remove and reinstall.)

FIGURE 3

STEP 5: Tip mower back against the upper handle to

gain access to cutting blade. Remove foam shipping

block from cutting blade. This must be removed before

starting the engine. IMPORTANT: WEAR HEAVY DUTY

GLOVES WHEN REMOVING SHIPPING BLOCK.

CUTTING BLADE IS EXTREMELY SHARP.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT tip machine with carburetor or

spark plug down. Oil from crankcase will saturate the air

filter and cause the engine to be hard to start or not start

at all. If contamination does occur, the air filter will have

to be replaced.

STEP 6: While squeezing blade control down against

upper handle, pull recoil rope handle up to rope guide

located on right side of upper handle as shown, and

hook rope through guide. See Figure 4.

DISCHARGE ASSEMBLY

NOTE: Discharge assemblies vary by model. Some

assembly steps shown may not apply to your model.

Your mower comes with a recycling cover already

installed, and is ready for use as a recycling mower.

The recycling cover is designed to remain on the

machine at all times, unless alternate discharge

operations are desired, such as side discharging or

bagging. Recycling cover can be removed to

accommodate alternate discharge components.

TO CHANGE DISCHARGE COMPONENTS:

STEP 1: Remove knob nuts and internal/external tooth

lock washers securing recycling cover to mower deck.

Remove cover. See Figure 5.

FIGURE 5

STEP 2: Install desired discharge component (s).

A. SIDE DISCHARGE DEFLECTOR

Install deflector onto deck in place of recycling cover,

making sure that: 1) hole in outside front of deflector slips

onto stud where front of recycling cover was originally

secured, 2) slot on top of deflector slips under restraining

nut on top of deck (under right front corner of engine), and

3) slot on inside rear of deflector slips onto stud where

rear of recycling cover was originally secured. See Figure

6. Install internal/external tooth lock washers and knob

nuts onto studs and tighten securely.

FIGURE 6

B. GRASS BAG

1: Install grass bag adapter onto deck in place of

recycling cover. See Figure 7. Refer to side discharge

deflector installation instructions.

(NOTE: Recoil rope may need to be slackened. Refer to

“Handle Assembly”.)

FIGURE 7

3: Install grass bag by opening adapter cover (not

shown) and sliding connector over adapter flange.

Attach grass bag and grass bag door hooks over

middle handle cross bar. See Figure 8.

NOTE: The handles of the grass bag and grass bag

door may be secured together with a wire tie or similar

device to prevent inadvertent opening of bag during

shipping. Remove wire tie prior to bag installation.
