SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS & PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKLIST for SNAPPER
INTERMEDIATE REAR TINE TILLER
INTRODUCTION: Uncrate unit and check for any damage and report immediately. Make repairs as necessary. The
handle is shipped reversed and attached to the handle bracket to allow overall lower profile for shipment. The two
#2-
8725 Hex Cap Screw and two #9-1606 Lock Nut in #6-1794 Hardware Bag are spare pieces for securing tines in case of
shear bolt failure during operation. Keep these pieces for future use.
STEP 1: Remove handle from “L” bracket. Remove “L”
bracket from handle bracket and discard. Rotate handle
around and prepare to secure to machine and handle bracket.
STEP 2: Wheel and Tine Control Bail is attached to the
handle. Install handle bar onto rear of main case using Part
Number 9-1681, Hex Flange Lock Bolt and Part Number 9-
1070, Hex Flange Lock Nut being careful not to kink cable.
See Figure 1. Route clutch cable between handle bar and
handle bracket. See Figure 1. Secure handle bar to handle
bracket. Insert Part Number 9-0831, Hex Cap Screw into
middle hole of handle bar and secure with Part Number 9-
1067, Hex Lock Nut. See Figure 1. If handle bar needs more
adjustment then go to Step 2. If position of handle bar is
satisfactory tighten all nuts and bolts securely.
STEP 4: Belt Tension adjustment will have to be
checked after set-up is complete. From the right side
under the fuel tank, measure the length of the idler pulley
spring at the end of the control cable in a relaxed
position. Then move wheel and tine control bail up to the
handle bar and measure the extended length of the
spring. When properly adjusted, the spring will extend
3/4” to 1”. See Figure 3. To adjust, loosen and reposition
the two jam nuts on the threaded end of cable located on
the dash panel. Move jam nuts toward the end of
threaded end of cable for more tension. Move jam nuts
in a direction away from the end of threaded end of cable
for less tension. See Figure 4. After adjustment, retighten
both jam nuts against dash panel. On some older
models the left wheel and belt guard may need to be
removed for spring access.
