Rider Maintenance - Snapper 150Z Operator's Manual

Rider Maintenance Items
WARNING
Move the ground speed levers to START/PARk
positions, engage the parking brake, turn the
mower blades OFF, turn the ignition switch
OFF, and wait for all moving parts to stop before
accessing the engine compartment or performing
any maintenance procedures.
Accessing the Engine Compartment
Lift up on the back edge of the seat deck to access the
engine compartment.
Clean Debris from Rider and Engine
Compartment
CAUTION: If debris is not removed from the engine
compartment and other hot surfaces, it creates a
fire hazard. Before starting the unit at the beginning of
the mowing session, remove any grass clippings, dirt,
leaves, or other debris from the unit. Also clean out the
engine compartment.
Clean Debris from Engine Cooling
Areas and Air Filter
CAUTION: If debris is not removed from the engine
compartment and other hot surfaces, it creates a
fire hazard. Before starting the unit at the beginning
of the mowing session, lift the seat deck and clean any
debris from the intake screen on top of the engine (A,
Figure 11), exposed engine cooling fins, and around the
air filter assembly. Also open the air filter cover (B) and
remove any debris that has accumulated in the air filter
compartment.
Check Tire Pressure
Tire pressure should be checked periodically, and
maintained at the levels shown in Figure 12. Note
that these pressures may differ slightly from the "Max
Inflation" stamped on the side-wall of the tires. The
pressures shown provide proper traction, improve cut
quality, and extend tire life.
