Snapper Snow Thowers Setup Instructions

DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS and PRE-SALE CHECKLIST for SNAPPER
EUROPEAN LARGE FRAME SNOW THROWERS
INTRODUCTION: The Snapper Large Frame Snow Throwers are shipped almost fully assembled and require
minimal set-up. Setting up the machine will require the handles to be unfolded and secured, and the attachment
of the chute crank rod. Some models may also require the installation of the electric start kit to the engine.
Complete each of the following steps carefully.
STEP 1: HANDLES: Cut both wire ties that secure the
control cables to the handles. Be very careful and DO
NOT cut the control cables. Cut the wire tie that secures
the chute crank to the handle. See Figure 1.
