The joystick controls the movement and stopping
of the rider. Move the joystick to the center or

4.2 MOWER DECK 4 COMPONENT ADJUSTMENTS
The
following
mower
deck
and
component
adjustments and repairs can be made by the
owner.
However, if there is difficulty in making
these adjustments and repairs, it is recommended
that these repairs be made by an authorized
SNAPPER dealer.
4.2.1. MOWER DECK ADJUSTMENT (LEVELNESS)
SIDE to SIDE and FRONT to REAR
Before making deck leveling adjustments,
check tires and add or release air as needed to
bring pressure to 22 psi in drive tires and 40
psi in rear caster tire. Pressure in front deck
caster wheels should be 25 psi.
If tires are properly inflated and mowing is still
uneven, adjust deck levelness as follows:
1. Place mower on a smooth level surface.
2. Raise deck to highest cutting position.
3. Place 2x4 blocks under front edge of
deck beside caster wheels. Blocks should
be on both sides of deck. Make deck
relatively level by positioning blocks. Both
caster wheels must be off the ground.
4. Loosen leveling bracket at center rear
deck support. See Figure 4.2. This allows the
lift arm to settle down into hitch brackets.

5. Retighten leveling bracket bolts.
6. Remove both bolts (one from each side)
from the front portion of the link weldment.
See Figure 4.3. The front caster wheel will
drop to the ground.
