Product Information

Full details

The Atco Liner 16S is a self-propelled petrol lawnmower designed for homeowners seeking a well-manicured lawn with minimal effort. Its key benefit is the combination of a smooth, self-propelled action and a full-width rear roller for creating traditional lawn stripes, while also reducing the need for edge strimming. A potential caveat is that the 41cm cutting width might be best suited for medium-sized gardens rather than very large or very small ones.

FAQs

What type of oil does the STIGA ST 140 OHV engine require?

The engine typically requires a SAE 30 4-stroke engine oil. Always consult your product manual for the precise specifications and recommended oil type.

How often should I change the engine oil?

It is generally recommended to change the engine oil after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 25 hours of use or annually, whichever comes first. Refer to your user manual for the exact service schedule.

What is the warranty period for the Atco Liner 16S?

The Atco Liner 16S comes with a 5-year warranty, subject to terms and conditions, which typically includes correct usage and regular servicing.

Can I use this mower for mulching?

The Liner 16S is primarily designed for collecting grass clippings or rear-discharging. It is not designed for mulching functionality.

How do I engage the self-propelled feature?

Typically, you will need to engage a lever or bail arm on the handlebar to activate the self-propelled drive, while also engaging the engine's throttle control.

Is assembly required upon delivery?

Minimal assembly is usually required, primarily attaching the handlebars to the main body of the mower. All necessary hardware and instructions should be included.

What is the cutting width and is it suitable for my garden?

The cutting width is 41cm (16 inches). This is generally suitable for medium-sized gardens. For very large gardens, a wider cutting deck might be more efficient.

Troubleshooting

Mower won't start.

Ensure there is fuel in the tank and the fuel cap is tightened. Check the spark plug connection and ensure the oil level is correct. If the engine is flooded, wait a few minutes before trying again. Make sure the primer bulb has been pressed (if applicable).

Uneven cutting.

Check that the cutting height is set uniformly on all wheels. Ensure the blade is sharp and securely fastened. Remove any grass clippings or debris from the underside of the deck.

Self-propel function not working.

Verify that the drive cable is correctly connected and engaged. Check for any blockages in the drive system or under the mower deck that might be impeding movement.

Grass collector not filling properly.

Ensure the grass collector is correctly attached and not overfilled. Check for blockages in the discharge chute. The blade might be dull, reducing grass mulching and collection efficiency.

Excessive vibration.

Turn off the engine immediately. Check that the blade is securely tightened and not damaged. Debris lodged in the blade or deck can also cause vibration.
