FAQs

How often should I change the oil?

Consult the user manual for the recommended oil change intervals, typically after the first 5 hours of use and then annually or every 25 hours of use.

What type of fuel should I use?

Use unleaded petrol suitable for 4-stroke engines.

How do I sharpen the blade?

You can use a file to sharpen the blade, or take it to a professional for sharpening. Always disconnect the spark plug before working on the blade.

How do I store the mower for winter?

Drain the fuel, clean the mower, and store it in a dry place. Consider removing the spark plug and spraying some oil into the cylinder for added protection.

What is the warranty period?

The Mountfield SP46 typically comes with a manufacturer's warranty. Check the documentation or contact the seller for specifics.

Can I use the mower on wet grass?

It's best to avoid mowing wet grass, as it can clog the mower and lead to uneven cutting. If you must mow wet grass, do so cautiously at a higher cutting height.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts can be found through Mountfield dealers or online retailers specializing in lawnmower parts. Use the model number (SP46) when searching.

Troubleshooting

Engine won't start.

Check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is connected, and verify the choke is in the correct position.

Mower cuts unevenly.

Check the blade for damage or dullness; ensure the cutting deck is level, and adjust the cutting height if necessary.

Grass bag fills too quickly.

Ensure the discharge chute isn't blocked and reduce cutting height if the grass is too long.

Self-propel function not working.

Check the drive cable connection and ensure the drive belt is properly engaged. Check the rear wheels for obstructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Self-propelled feature reduces user effort.
  • Durable steel chassis ensures longevity.
  • Efficient cutting with a 46cm width.
  • Mulching function available for lawn health.
  • Large grass bag minimizes emptying.
  • Reliable engine for consistent performance.

Cons

  • Requires petrol and regular maintenance.
  • May be less suitable for very large lawns compared to wider cutting models.
  • Steel chassis can be prone to rust if not properly maintained.
  • Mulching requires fitting the plug which can be fiddly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Assembly: Upon receiving the mower, some basic assembly is required, typically involving attaching the handle and securing the grass bag. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions.
  2. Fuel and Oil: Ensure the engine has the correct amount of oil before use. Add petrol to the fuel tank.
  3. Cutting Height Adjustment: Use the centralized lever to select your desired cutting height. Always adjust the cutting height when the engine is off.
  4. Cleaning: After each use, clean the underside of the mower deck to remove grass clippings. This prevents corrosion and ensures efficient cutting.
  5. Blade Maintenance: Regularly inspect the blade for sharpness and damage. Sharpen or replace the blade as needed to maintain optimal cutting performance.
  6. Storage: When storing the mower for an extended period, drain the fuel and store it in a dry place.
