IMPORTANT! READ CAREFULLY THE FOLLOWING SAFETY RULES BEFORE  
ASSEMBLING OR OPERATING UNIT.  
engine before leaving unit.  
TRAINING  
-- Never operate with guards not securely in place. Be sure  
-- Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the man-  
ual and on the unit before starting. If the operator(s) or  
mechanic(s) can not read English it is the owner's responsi-  
bility to explain this material to them.  
all safety features are attached, adjusted properly and func-  
tioning properly.  
-- Never operate with the hose or cover removed or altered.  
-- 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  
operator.  
-- Keep hands and feet away intake and discharge areas.  
-- Keep pets and bystanders away.  
-- Do not operate the unit while under the influence of alco-  
hol or drugs.  
-- The owner/user can prevent and is responsible for acci-  
dents or injuries occurring to themselves, other people or  
property.  
-- Use caution when crossing roads and sidewalks. Stop  
engine if not blowing.  
PREPARATION  
-- Use care when loading or unloading the machine into a  
trailer or truck.  
-- Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and  
attachments are needed to properly and safely perform the  
job. Use only accessories and attachments approved by  
the manufacturer.  
-- Use care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees

-- Wear appropriate clothing including safety shoes, safety  
glasses and ear protection. Long hair, loose clothing or jew-  
elry may get tangled in moving parts.  
-- Inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and  
remove all objects such as rocks, toys and wire, which can  
be thrown by the machine.  
Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-  
over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death.  
All slopes require extra caution. If you cannot back up the  
slope, or if you feel uneasy on it, do not drive on it.  
Do  
-- Mow up and down slopes, never across face.  
-- Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.  
-- Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could  
overturn the unit. Tall grass can hide obstacles.  
-- Keep all movement on the slopes slow and gradual. Do  
not make sudden changes in speed or direction.  
Do Not

2 safety rules regarding outdoor power equipment  
to cool before storing.  
CHILDREN  
-- Shut off fuel while storing or transporting. Do not store fuel  
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the  
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the unit  
and its activity. Never assume that children will remain  
where you last saw them.  
near flames or drain indoors.  
-- Keep all hardware tight and keep all parts in good work-  
ing condition. Replace all worn or damaged decals.  
-- Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper  
operation regularly.  
-- Keep children out of the mowing area and under the  
watchful  
care  
of  
another  
responsible  
adult.  
-- Clean leaves and debris from mufflers and engine to pre-  
vent fires. Clean up oil or fuel spillage.  
-- Do not allow children or others to ride on the machine,  
attachment, or towed equipment (even with the blades off).  
-- Be alert and turn unit off if children enter the area.  
-- Before and during reverse operation, look behind and  
down for small children.  
-- Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object.  
Repair, if necessary, before restarting.  
-- Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine run-  
ning unless specified otherwise.  
-- Never allow children to operate the unit.  
-- Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs,  
trees, or other objects that may obscure vision.  
-- Park machine on level ground. Never allow untrained per-  
sonnel to service machine.  
-- Carefully release pressure from components with stored  
energy. (e.g. springs)  
EMISSIONS

known, in certain quantities, to cause cancer, birth defects,  
or other reproductive harm.  
-- Only replace impellers. Never straighten or weld them.  
-- Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.  
-- Frequently check components and replace with manufac-  
turer's recommended parts, when necessary.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE  
-- Always comply with factory specifications on all settings  
and adjustments.  
-- Only authorized service locations should be utilized for  
major service and repair requirements.  
-- Never attempt to make major repairs on this unit unless  
you have been properly trained. Improper service proce-  
dures can result in hazardous operation, equipment dam-  
age and voiding of manufacturer's warranty.  
-- Always observe safe refueling and fuel handling practices  
when refueling the unit after transportation or storage.  
-- Always follow the engine manual instructions for storage  
preparations before storing the unit for both short and long  
term periods.

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.

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.
