Product Information

Full details

The Mountfield SP555R V is designed for homeowners with medium to large lawns who prioritize a professional finish, specifically those seeking iconic striped lawns. Powered by a reliable Honda GCVx 170 Autochoke engine, this self-propelled roller mower offers high-performance cutting with its unique Twinclip system, though its substantial steel and aluminium build does mean it is heavier to maneuver than entry-level push mowers.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What fuel does the Honda GCVx 170 use?

It uses standard unleaded petrol; refer to the engine manual for specific octane requirements.

How do I adjust the cutting height?

The mower features a central lever system that allows you to select from eight different height positions.

Is the mower self-propelled?

Yes, it features variable speed self-propulsion ranging from 3 to 5.1 km/h.

Can I store the mower vertically?

While the handles fold for storage, this model is not designed for long-term vertical storage due to the weight and engine fluid concerns.

How often should I clean the underside of the deck?

It is recommended to use the wash link to clean the deck after every use to prevent grass buildup and corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Engine fails to start

Check the oil and petrol levels; ensure the spark plug cap is securely attached.

Poor grass collection

Clear the grass chute of debris and ensure the deck is clean; also check if the blade is sharp.

Mower vibrates excessively

Inspect the blade for damage or imbalances; ensure all mounting bolts are tightened securely.

  • Robust and durable material construction
  • Variable speed makes it easy to control

Cons

  • Heavier than non-roller or plastic-deck mowers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your mower in top condition, take advantage of the integrated wash link by connecting a garden hose to the deck port while the mower is running at low throttle, ensuring all grass clippings are flushed out after every use. Always check the oil level before starting the engine and follow the manufacturer's schedule for air filter replacements. The handlebars are designed for one-motion folding, which simplifies storage in a garden shed or garage. When not in use for extended periods, such as winter, ensure the fuel tank is drained or treated with a stabilizer to prevent engine starting issues in the spring.
