DEALER SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS for EUROPEAN SNAPPER  

21” STEEL DECK “M” MODEL WALK BEHIND MOWERS 

 

This SNAPPER Walk Behind Mower uses a handle engine control bail system to kill the engine for the SAFETY of 
the operator.  These mowers are designed for quick set-up. The checklist on Page 4 should be filled out by the 
dealer as the items are checked off and/or performed and the Consumer/Operator Product Registration card filled 
out and sent to the Customer Service department at SNAPPER when completed. CAUTION: Cutting blades are 
extremely sharp. Wear heavy leather gloves when handling or working with blades. Be careful to avoid cutting 
yourself on sharp edges of blade.

be replaced.
