Use unleaded petrol, as specified in the owner's manual.
How often should I change the oil?
Refer to the owner's manual for the recommended oil change intervals, usually after the first 5 hours of use and then every 25 hours.
How do I clean the mower deck?
After each use, tip the mower on its side (after removing the spark plug cable for safety) and clean the underside of the deck with a brush or scraper.
How do I adjust the cutting height?
Use the centralised cutting height adjustment handle to select one of the six available positions.
What is the warranty period?
The Stiga Collector 43 comes with a 5-year domestic warranty, subject to terms and conditions.
How do I store the mower for winter?
Drain the fuel, clean the mower, and store it in a dry, covered location. Consider removing the spark plug and spraying some oil into the cylinder for added protection.
What should I do if the blade is damaged?
Replace the blade with a genuine Stiga replacement blade. Ensure the mower is turned off and the spark plug cable is disconnected before changing the blade.
Troubleshooting
Engine won't start
Check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is connected, and check the choke position. Review the starting procedure in the manual.
Mower cuts unevenly
Check the cutting blade for damage and ensure it is properly installed. Also, ensure the cutting deck is level and the wheels are at the same height setting.
Grass collector fills up quickly
Reduce cutting height, mow more frequently, and ensure the grass bag is correctly attached.
Engine stalls during operation
Check the fuel cap vent for blockages, clean the air filter, and ensure the engine has enough oil.
