Snapper 1696171 Reviews & Ratings

Good Machine but couldn't start it by hand
By Dick W.

Review Posted 12/20/2012
I was able to put the two-stage snow blower together with no problem at all, and also added an on/off switch for the head
lights.
Using the electric starter, the 1696171 started immediately. I am not a little man, 6-2, 290 and quite strong at 70
years old, but I was not able to start the snow blower by hand. This engine is rated for 20 degrees below zero and there
was no way I was able to start this machine by hand.
If it wasn't for the electric start, I would not be able to use this snow blower. I have a Briggs & Straton generator & a 21 inch lawnmower- and I have no problems starting these machines by hand.
Other than that, the snow blower is perfect and is very easy to operate.
SBD RESPONDS: You may want to give the folks at Snapper Tech Support a call, toll free, at (800) 935 2967. They may have some advice on getting the snow blower to start more easily by hand, or refer you to local Warranty Service if needed.
