Snapper 10 Series User Manual

Prior to making brake adjustment, check to see that '
the mower beit is adjusted properly.
Stand the rider on it's REAR BUMPER (14-C), engage
the PARKING BRAKE (13-C), shift the TRANSMISSION |
SHIFT lever (17-C) to the REVERSE position, and then [
check the distance between the DRIVEN DISC rubber I
drive ring and the surface of the DRIVE DISC. There
should be between 1/16" and 1/8" clearance. 1
FIG. 11-A - DISTANCE BETWEEN DISCS
CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment is made by repositioning the yoke lift
spring. Initially the spring is hooked through the #2
hole (second from end) in the clutch link - there are 4
holes. With the spring hooked in the #2 hole, the
clutch will have smooth action under normal loads.
Hook the spring in #1 hole to pull heavier loads. If
when releasing foot pressure on the
CLUTCH/BRAKE pedal (5-C), the rider tends to "hop"
rather than start forward or reverse motion
smoothly, hook the spring through hole #3 or #4 to
attain smoother starts.
If the proper distance is not evident, the ciutch/brake
cable needs to be adjusted. Release the parking brake,
rotate the clutch yoke to provide slack in the cable, and
then rrwve 1 of the spacers (Y) through the "keyhole “
slot in the CLUTCH/BRAKE pe^l (X) to the end of the
cable. Re-engage the parking brake and again check
the clearance between the rubber ring and the drive
disc. Repeat this procedure until the proper distance is
achieved.
To adjust the brake (with the parking brake on),
loosen both jam nuts (A) which secure the clut¬
ch/brake cable threaded tube (B) to the chain case
bracket as shown. Then, by screwing the two jam
nuts up or down, the tube can be moved to change
the distance the cable end is recessed INSIDE the
spring guide (tube), which is attached to the brake
lever. Adjust the threaded tube up or down until the
cable end is recessed between 3/16" to 7/16" from the
cotter pin. Retighten both jam nuts (A) against

CUTTING BLADE SERVICE
BE CAREFUL: Avoid cutting yourseif on a sharp
biade! Wear gloves to protect your hands while
handling the blade.
Check the blade at frequent intervals for proper
tightness and operating condition. Replace if chip¬
ped, bent or notched. Sharpen if In otherwise good
condition-at an angle of 22-28 degrees inward about
2-1/2"from tips. Check blade for balance and correct
to prevent vibration. Install the blade with retaining
hardware as shown in FIG. 14 and tighten to torque
specified.
Check levelness (straightness) of the blade "TIPS".
Mark one (A) and the other (B). Scribe a mark on the
deck at the iip. By rotating the blade, measure the
distance "TIP" (A) and then "TIP" (B) each are from
the marked lip.
If there is a difference of more than 1/16" between
the two measurements, level the "TIPS" by loosen¬
ing the two jam nuts, and turn each of the two
jackscrews either clockwise or counter-clockwise
until the "TIPS" are within 1/16" of each other. Then
retighten the jam nuts against the blade bar.
NOTE: If after inspection, the blade tips are found to
rotate closer to one point on deck lip, the lateral
position of spindle housing needs to be re-centered
by your Authorized SNAPPER Dealer.
