How should this petrol lawn mower be cleaned after use?
We recommend cleaning the petrol lawn mower in the normal way after each use. Before washing the petrol mower, we suggest that any residual grass or top soil is removed using the special STIGA scraper, which can be purchased separately.
Next, the inside of the chassis can be washed with water: connect the hose pipe to the washing link and follow the steps described in the user manual.

You should use petrol as fuel. In terms of engine oil, we recommend using the specific STIGA oil, which can be purchased separately. This will guarantee the best engine performance and optimal lubrication for your petrol lawn mower.
What cutting deck height is recommended for the mulching function on this petrol mower?
The mulching system of this petrol lawnmower allows you to cut the grass into fine pieces, which remain on the lawn, restore nutrients and support growth. To use this function, the height of the chassis must be set so that the grass will be cut to a length that does not exceed a third of the total grass height of the lawn.
How should the oil level be measured on this petrol lawn mower?
To correctly measure the oil level, you need to make sure the petrol lawnmower is on a flat surface, unscrew the cap which has a built-in dipstick for measuring, clean off any oil on the dipstick and reinsert it without screwing it in. Take the dipstick back out and check the level, which must lie between the MIN and MAX values. Top up, if required, and screw the cap back on. Full details can be found in the engine manual.
Do I have to remove the bag to use the side discharge function on my petrol lawn mower?
To use the side discharge function on this petrol mower, you need to remove the bag, attach the mulching plug and join the deflector to the side of the cutting deck. You can re-attach the bag to the lawn mower, but it is not required for use in side discharge mode.
