ened, the height of the handle can be adjusted by  
tightening the screws B with the wrench provid-  
ed. (fig. 2)  
NOTE! The lawnmower can be operated without  
the grass collector. The grass is then left in a line  
behind the machine.  
BATTERY (*)  
HANDLE  
(Type IV)  
The electrolyte in the battery is toxic  
and corrosive. It can cause serious cor-  
rosion damage etc. Avoid all contact  
with skin, eyes and clothing.  
1. Unscrew the locking wheels from the chassis  
and secure the lower part of the handle onto  
screws B (fig. 3).  
Before starting for the first time the battery should  
be charged for 24 hours, see further information  
under the heading MAINTENANCE, BATTERY.

part of the handle. When these have been tight-  
ened, the height of the handle can be adjusted  
by tightening the screws B with the wrench pro-  
vided. (fig. 3)  
USING THE MOWER  
COMBI(*)  
ENGINE BRAKE CABLE  
Your new lawnmower combines two different  
functions in the same machine:  
Secure the engine brake cable to the engine brake  
(fig. 4). Note that the cable should be installed in  
the direction of the handle.  
1. “MULTICLIP“  
The machine comes equipped with a plug (P), in-  
stalled in the ejector opening (fig. 31). The ma-  
chine can be used for ‘Multiclip’ i.e. the blade  
finely cuts up the grass during mowing. The grass  
then falls into the lawn where it is allowed to rot.  
This provides the lawn with nourishment.  
CABLE HOLDER

ENGLISH  
To remove the plug, press in the catch (S). On re-  
installing the plug ensure that both pins are pressed  
firmly into the holes so that the plug snaps in place.  
NOTE! If you change to environmental-  
ly friendly petrol in an engine previously  
run on ordinary lead-free petrol (95),  
the petrol manufacturer’s recommenda-  
tions must be followed carefully.  
Turbo 43 Combi:  
To remove the plug, unscrew the wing nut.  
Ordinary lead-free 95 octane petrol can also be  
used. You must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed  
with oil. NOTE! Bear in mind that lead-free petrol  
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than  
can be used within thirty days.  
2. COLLECTION  
Assemble the grass collector provided (fig. 6, 8).  
Open the flap, remove the plug and instead hook  
the collector onto the rear of the machine.  
When mowing, the grass is collected in the collec-  
tor. Empty the grass onto the compost heap or  
spread it over borders as fertiliser. The machine is  
also ideal for collecting up leaves in the autumn.  
STARTING THE ENGINE  
(Briggs & Stratton)  
1. Place the lawnmower on flat, firm ground. Do  
not start in long grass.  
BEFORE STARTING  
2. Make sure the spark plug cable is connected to  
the spark plug.  
FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL  
The lawnmower is delivered without  
any oil in the engine crankcase. The  
crankcase must be filled with oil before  
the engine is started for the first time.  
3. If the lawnmower is equipped with throttle con-  
trol, set the throttle control B to full throttle  
(fig. 15).  
4. When starting a cold engine: Press down the  
primer fully 6 times (fig. 12, 13).  
Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 9, 10, 11). Fill the en-  
gine’s crankcase with 0.55 litres of good quality oil  
(service class SE, SF or SG). Use SAE 30 or SAE  
10W-30 oil.  
When starting a warm engine, the primer does  
not need to be used. If the engine stops due to a  
lack of petrol, refill and press down the primer  
3 times.  
Slowly fill to ‘FULL/MAX’. Do not overfill.  
CHECK THE OIL LEVEL  
5. Press in the Start/Stop loopG towards the han-  
dle. NOTE! The Start/Stop loopG must be kept  
pressed in to prevent the engine stopping  
(fig. 15).  
Check before using the machine that the oil level is  
between ‘FULL/MAX’ and ‘ADD/MIN’ on the  
dipstick.  
6a Manual start: Grasp the starter handle and start  
the engine by pulling briskly on the starter cord.  
Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 9, 10, 11).  
Slide it down completely and tighten it. Unscrew  
and pull it up again. Read off the oil level. If the oil  
level is low, fill with oil up to the ‘FULL/MAX’  
mark.  
6b Electric start (*): Start the engine by turning the  
ignition key clockwise. Release the key as soon  
as the engine starts. Always make short at-  
tempts at starting in order to prevent discharg-  
ing the battery.  
FILL UP THE PETROL TANK  
Never remove the filler cap or fill with  
petrol while the engine is running or still  
warm.  
For ease of starting, press down the handle so  
that the front wheels lift slightly from the  
ground. Do not start in thick grass.  
Never completely fill the petrol tank. Al-  
low a little room for the petrol to expand  
if necessary.  
7. For the best mowing results, the engine should  
always be driven at full throttle.  
Keep hands and feet away from the ro-  
tating blade(s). Never put your hand or  
foot under the blade casing or in the  
grass ejector while the engine is run-  
ning.  
Preferably use environmentally friendly petrol, i.e.  
alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a composi-  
tion that is less harmful to people and nature. It has  
e.g. no lead additives, no oxygenators (alcohols  
and ethers), no alkenes and no benzene.

STARTING THE ENGINE (Honda)  
REAR WHEEL DRIVE (*)  
1. Place the lawnmower on flat, firm ground. Do  
not start in long grass.  
Engage the drive by pressing the clutch loop I to-  
wards the handle. Disengage the drive by releasing  
the clutch loop I (fig. 15).  
2. Make sure the spark plug cable is connected to  
the spark plug.  
SPEED (*)  
3. Open the fuel tap (fig. 14).  
Do not touch the variator control when  
the engine is not running. This can dam-  
age the operation of the variator.  
4. Set the throttle control B in the choke posi-  
tion . NOTE! It is not necessary to use the  
choke position when the engine is warm (fig.  
15).  
Set to a suitable speed by moving the variator con-  
trol to one of the 4 positions (fig. 16).  
5. Press the Start/Stop loopG towards the handle.  
NOTE! The Start/Stop loopG must be kept  
pressed in to prevent the engine stopping (fig.  
15).  
The various positions have the following speeds:  
Position :approx. 2.8 km/h  
Position 2: approx. 3.1 km/h  
Position 3: approx. 3.6 km/h  
Position :approx. 4.5 km/h  
6. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by  
pulling briskly on the starter cord.  
CUTTING HEIGHT  
7. When the engine starts, move the throttle con-  
trol backwards until max. revs are obtained.  
NOTE! The engine should always be run at  
maximum revs to avoid abnormal machine vi-  
brations.  
Shut off the engine before adjusting the  
cutting height.  
Do not set the cutting height so low that  
the blade(s) come into contact with une-  
ven ground.  
Keep hands and feet away from the ro-  
tating blade(s). Never put your hand or  
foot under the blade casing or in the  
grass ejector while the engine is run-  
ning.  
The mower has single-lever control for adjusting  
the cutting height. Pull the lever out, and set the  
cutting height to one of the nine positions best suit-  
ed to your lawn (fig. 17).  
STOPPING THE ENGINE  
MAINTENANCE  
The engine may be very warm immedi-  
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the  
silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges.  
This can cause burn injuries.  
No servicing may be carried out on the  
engine or lawnmower without first re-  
moving the spark plug cable from the  
spark plug.  
1. Release the Start/Stop loopG (fig. 15) to stop  
the engine. This loop must not be disengaged  
(e.g. by setting it in the depressed position  
against the handle), as it will not be possible to  
stop the engine.  
Stop the engine and remove the spark  
plug cable if the mower is to be lifted,  
e.g. during transportation.  
If the lawnmower needs to be tilted, it  
must be tilted so that the engine’s spark  
plug faces upwards. Tilt the lawnmower  
when the fuel tank is empty.  
Honda: Close the fuel tap.  
2. If the lawnmower is left unattended, remove the  
spark plug cable from the spark plug. Also re-  
move the ignition key (*).  
CLEANING  
If the start/stop loop ceases to work, stop  
the engine by removing the spark plug  
cable from the spark plug. Immediately  
take the lawn mower to an authorised  
workshop for repair.  
After each use the mower should be cleaned. This  
is particularly important on the underside of the  
mower casing. Rinse clean with the garden hose.  
The mower will then last longer and work better.  
High-pressure washers should not be used.

ENGLISH  
If grass has dried on to the mower casing, it can be  
scraped clean. If necessary, touch up the underside  
with paint to prevent rust damage.  
AIR FILTER  
A dirty and blocked air filter reduces the engine  
output and increases engine wear.  
Clean the silencer and the surrounding  
area regularly to remove grass, dirt and  
flammable waste products.  
Briggs & Stratton LS 45 (fig. 21): Carefully re-  
move the air cleaner so that no dirt falls down into  
the carburettor. Remove the expanded plastic filter  
and wash it in liquid detergent and water. Dry the  
filter. Pour a little oil on the filter and squeeze it in.  
Reinstall the air cleaner.  
Remove the transmission casing by removing the  
screws S (fig. 27) and clean around the transmis-  
sion (*) and drive belts (*) with a brush or com-  
pressed air once or twice a year.  
Clean the filter every three months or after every  
25 hours of use, whichever occurs first. More fre-  
quently if the engine is working on dusty ground.  
Once every season, the drive wheels (*) should be  
cleaned internally. Remove both wheels. Clean the  
gear wheel and the wheel gear rim of grass and dirt  
using a brush or compressed air (fig. 18). Replace  
the wheel.  
Briggs & Stratton XTE (fig. 22):  
Loosen the screw and close the cover of the air  
cleaner. Carefully remove the filter cartridge.  
Knock it against a flat surface. Replace the filter  
cartridge with a new one if it is still dirty.  
COOLING SYSTEM  
Before each use, the engine’s cooling system must  
be cleaned. Clean the cylinder’s cooling flanges  
and air intake of grass remains, dirt, etc.  
Clean the filter every three months or after every  
25 hours of use, whichever occurs first. More fre-  
quently if the engine is working on dusty ground.  
LUBRICATING DRIVE SHAFT (*)  
Honda GCV (fig. 23): Remove the cover and take  
out the filter. Carefully check the filter for holes or  
other damage. A broken or damaged filter must be re-  
placed.  
Once per season, the wedge on the drive shaft  
should be greased. Remove the wheel (wheel cap,  
screw and washer). Then remove the circlip and  
washer so that the gear wheel can be removed from  
the shaft. Lubricate the wedge with universal  
grease.  
To remove dirt, carefully knock the filter several  
times against a hard surface or use compressed air  
from the back of the filter to blow-clean. Do not try  
to brush the filter clean as this forces dirt down into  
the fibres. A very dirty filter should be replaced.  
Reinstall the wedge (the wedge is installed differ-  
ently on the right and left side, fig. 19-20). Install  
the gear wheel so that the L faces out on the left  
side and the R faces out on the right side (machine  
viewed from the rear).  
Clean the air filter after every 25 hours of use or  
once a season. More frequently if the engine is  
working on dusty ground.  
OIL CHANGE  
SPARK PLUG  
Replace the oil when the engine is warm  
and the fuel tank is empty. In order to  
prevent burns, take care while draining  
as the oil is hot.  
Never remove the spark plug or spark  
plug cable when checking to see if there  
is a spark. Always use an approved test  
instrument.  
Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of oper-  
ation, and subsequently every 50 hours of opera-  
tion or once a season. Remove the dipstick, tilt the  
mower and let the oil run out into a container. Be  
careful not to let any oil run on to the grass.  
Clean the spark plug regularly (every 100 hours of  
run time). Use a wire brush for cleaning.  
Change the spark plug if the electrodes are exces-  
sively burnt or if the plug is damaged. The engine  
manufacturers recommendations are as follows:  
Fill with new oil: Use SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 oil.  
The crankcase holds approx. 0.55 litre. Fill until  
the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX“ mark on the dip-  
stick.  
Briggs & Stratton: Champion J19LM (RJ19LM),  
spark gap 0.76 mm.  
Honda GCV: NGK BPR6ES,  
Spark gap 0.7-0.8 mm.

ENGLISH  
2. When the clutch loop is  
pressed in approx. 2 cm (posi-  
tion 1), there should be some  
resistance when pushing the  
lawnmower. With the clutch  
loop fully pressed in (position  
2) it should not be possible to  
push the mower. Unscrew the  
nipple T until this position is  
achieved.  
BATTERY (*)  
The electrolyte in the battery is toxic  
and corrosive. It can cause serious cor-  
rosion damage etc. Avoid all contact  
with skin, eyes and clothing.  
In normal use during the season, the battery is  
charged by the engine. If the engine cannot be  
started with the ignition key, it may be because the  
battery is 'dead'.  
Dismantle the battery by opening the battery cov-  
er, disconnecting the terminal on the engine and re-  
moving the battery (fig. 24). Connect the battery  
charger (provided) to the battery, then connect the  
charger to a wall socket and charge for 24 hours  
(fig. 25).  
ADJUSTING VARIATOR CABLE (*)  
If the speed difference between the settings in the  
variator control giving the fastest speed (position 3  
and ) appears insignificant or nothing at all, the  
variator cable might need tightening (fig. 16).  
1. Run the mower for a few minutes in position  
.
After charging, the battery may be reinstalled and  
the terminal on the battery connected to the termi-  
nal on the motor (fig. 26).  
2. If the variator cable shows some play in nipple  
Y it needs tightening. Undo the locking nut X  
and tighten the cable by unscrewing the nipple  
Y until the cable ceases to show any play.  
The battery charger may not be connected directly  
to the engine terminal. It is not possible to start the  
engine with the charger as the power source and  
the charger could be damaged.  
3. Tighten the locking nut X.  
WINTER STORAGE  
NOTE! Do not stretch the cable beyond the point  
where there is no play in the nipple Y. If the cable is  
over-tightened, the drive belt could break and/or  
other parts of the transmission be damaged. When  
setting after e.g. belt change, always start with the  
nipple Y completely screwed in.  
Remove the battery and store it fully charged (see  
above) in a dry, cool place (between 0°C and  
+15°C). At least once during the winter storage pe-  
riod, the battery should be maintenance-charged.  
Before the start of the season, the battery should be  
charged once again for 24 hours.  
CHANGING BLADES  
Wear protective gloves when changing  
blades to avoid cutting yourself.  
ADJUSTING CLUTCH CABLE (*)  
If the drive does not engage when the clutch loop  
is pressed against the handle, or if the lawnmower  
feels cumbersome or slow, this may be because the  
clutch in the transmission is slipping. To rectify  
this situation, adjust the clutch cable as follows:  
Check the blade system regularly. Check  
particularly the curved area behind the  
blade edge for traces of wear. If the blade  
shows traces of damage it should be re-  
placed. A worn blade creates imbalance  
and can damage the mower.  
1. When the clutch loop is released, it should be  
possible to push the mower without any resist-  
ance. If this is not the case, screw in the nipple  
T until the mower can be pushed (fig. 28).  
Always check the blade(s) after a collision. First  
disconnect the spark plug cable. If the blade sys-  
tem has been damaged, defective parts should be  
replaced. Always use genuine spare parts.  
To replace the blade, undo the screw (fig. 29, 30).  
Fit the new blade so that the stamped logo is turned  
up facing the blade holder (not facing the grass).  
Reinstall as illustrated. Tighten the screw properly.  
Tightening torque 40 Nm.

ENGLISH  
When replacing the blade, the blade screw should  
also be replaced.  
The guarantee does not cover damage to the blade,  
blade holder or engine caused by running into ob-  
stacles.  
When replacing the blade, blade holder and blade  
screw, always use genuine spare parts. Non-genu-  
ine spare parts can entail a risk of injury or dam-  
age, even if they fit the machine.  
SHARPENING THE BLADES  
Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet  
method grinding, using a whetstone or a grind-  
stone.  
For safety reasons, the blades should not be sharp-  
ened on an emery wheel. A very high temperature  
could cause the blades to become brittle.  
Once the blade has been sharpened, it  
must then be balanced to avoid vibra-  
tion damage.  
STORAGE  
WINTER STORAGE  
Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it run  
until it stops. The same petrol must not remain in  
the tank for more than one month.  
Tip up the mower and unscrew the spark plug.  
Pour a tablespoon of engine oil into the spark plug  
hole. Pull out the starter handle slowly so that the  
oil is distributed in the cylinder. Screw in the spark  
plug.  
Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in  
a dry place.  
SERVICING  
Genuine spare parts are supplied by service work-  
shops and by many dealers.  
A list of these can be found on STIGA’s Internet  
website at: www.stiga.com.
