Product Information

Full details

The Stiga Combi 48 S H is a self-propelled petrol lawn mower designed for homeowners seeking a reliable and versatile machine for medium-sized gardens. Its key benefit is the combination of a powerful Honda engine, multiple cutting options (collect, rear discharge, mulch), and user-friendly operation. A potential caveat is the need for regular maintenance typical of petrol engines.

FAQs

What type of oil should I use for the Honda engine?

Consult your Honda engine manual for the specific recommended oil grade and capacity. Typically, a SAE 30 or 10W-30 oil is used, but always verify.

How often should I change the engine oil?

It is recommended to change the engine oil at least once per mowing season, or after every 25 hours of use, whichever comes first. Refer to the engine manual for precise intervals.

Can I use this mower on wet grass?

While the mower can cut wet grass, it is generally not recommended. Wet grass can clog the deck and collector, reduce cutting quality, and make mulching ineffective. It's best to mow when the grass is dry.

What is the function of the Autochoke system?

The Autochoke system automatically adjusts the engine's fuel-air mixture for starting, making it easier to start the engine in various temperatures without manual adjustment.

How do I switch between collecting, mulching, and rear discharge?

To collect, fit the grass collector. For rear discharge, remove the collector and ensure the mulching kit is not fitted. For mulching, fit the supplied mulching kit and remove the collector.

What is the warranty period for this lawn mower?

Warranty information can vary by region and retailer. Please check your product documentation or contact your place of purchase for the specific warranty details applicable to your Stiga Combi 48 S H.

Troubleshooting

Engine won't start

Check fuel level, ensure fresh fuel is used. Verify spark plug connection and condition. Check air filter for blockages. Ensure choke is set correctly for starting conditions.

Poor cutting performance

Ensure the blade is sharp and securely fastened. Check for any obstructions around the blade. Adjust cutting height to a suitable level for the grass length. Ensure the grass bag is not overly full.

Self-propel system not engaging

Check the drive cable for tension and damage. Ensure the drive lever is correctly positioned. Inspect the drive belt for wear or damage.

Excessive vibration

Stop the mower immediately. Check that the blade is correctly balanced and securely fitted. Inspect for any damage to the blade or engine mounts.
