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.

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.

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
