Important; Before Starting The Engine - Briggs & Stratton Snapper LT75 Serie Manual Del Operador

Operation
Transport the Unit
To transport the unit, follow the steps below.
1. Push the blade rotation control down to the
DISENGAGE position (see F F igure 9).
2. Raise the lift lever to the highest position (see
Figure 16).
3. Move the throttle control to a position between
SLOW and FAST (see F F igure 8).
4. To go faster, move the speed control pedal to a
faster speed (see F F igure 14).
Operate the Mower Deck
WARNING
The mulcher cover is a safety device. Do not
remove the mulcher cover. The deflector forces the
discharged material toward the ground. Always
keep the deflector in the down position. If the
deflector is damaged, replace the deflector with
an original equipment part from an authorized
service center.
IMPORTANT: When you operate with the mower deck,
always operate with the throttle control in the FAST po-
sition.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position to start
the engine (see F F igure 18).
2. Move the lift lever to a height of cut position (see
Figure 16). In high or thick grass, cut the grass in
the highest position first and then lower the mower
deck to a lower position.
3. Move the throttle control to the SLOW position
(see F F igure 8).
4. Slowly move the blade rotation control to the EN-
GAGE position (see F F igure 9).
5. Move the speed control pedal to the desired speed
settings (see F F igure 14).
NOTE: When you mow in heavy grass or mow with a
bagger, operate the speed control pedals in the lowest
speed.
6. Move the throttle control to the FAST position (see
Figure 8). If you need to go faster or slower, stop
the unit and move the speed control pedal to an-
other speed setting.
7. Make sure the level of cut is still correct. After you
mow a short distance, look at the area that was cut.
If the mower housing does not cut level, see the
instructions to "Level The Mower Deck" in the
Maintenance section.
WARNING
For better control of the unit, select a safe speed.

Before Starting the Engine

Check the Oil
NOTE: The engine was shipped from the factory filled
with oil. Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.
See the engine manufacturer's instructions for the type
of fuel and oil to use.
1. Make sure the unit is level.
NOTE: Do not check the level of the oil while the
engine runs.
2. Check the oil. Follow the procedure in the engine
manufacturer's instructions.
3. If necessary, add oil until the oil reaches the FULL
mark on the dipstick. Do not add too much oil.
Add Fuel
WARNING
Always use a safety fuel container. Do not smoke
when adding fuel to the fuel tank. Do not add fuel
when you are inside an enclosure. Before you add
fuel, stop the engine and let the engine cool for
several minutes.
1. Remove the filler cap (1) (see F F igure 20).
2. Fill the fuel tank (2) to the FULL (3) position with
regular unleaded fuel.
NOTE: Do not use premium unleaded fuel. Make sure
the fuel is fresh and clean. Leaded fuel will increase
deposits and shorten the life of the valves.
