Product Information
Full details
The Stiga SWS 800 G Power Sweeper is designed for homeowners needing an efficient solution for clearing debris like leaves, grass cuttings, and light snow from driveways, paths, and patios year-round. Its key benefit is the self-propelled operation with multiple gears and an 80cm clearing width, significantly reducing physical effort and time. A potential caveat is its petrol engine, requiring fuel and maintenance typical of such machines.

FAQs
What type of fuel should I use?
Use unleaded petrol. The exact octane rating and type should be confirmed in the engine's user manual provided with the product.
How often should I change the engine oil?
It is recommended to change the engine oil annually or after approximately 25-50 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Always refer to the engine manual for precise recommendations.
Can the brush be replaced?
Yes, the nylon brush is a consumable part and can be replaced when it becomes worn. Consult your dealer or the Stiga parts catalog for replacement brushes.
What is the warranty period?
A 5-year manufacturer's warranty is included with this model, subject to terms and conditions. Please refer to the warranty documentation for full details.
Can I use this sweeper on gravel driveways?
The SWS 800 G is primarily designed for hard surfaces. While it might be used cautiously on very level and well-maintained gravel, it may dislodge stones or not perform optimally. It is best suited for asphalt, concrete, or paved areas.
How do I adjust the brush angle?
The brush angle (left, center, right) is typically adjusted via levers or controls located on the handle or near the brush assembly. Please refer to your product manual for specific instructions on operating these controls.
Is assembly required?
No, the Stiga SWS 800 G arrives fully assembled and ready for initial setup (fuel and oil checks) and use.
Troubleshooting
Engine will not start
Check fuel level, ensure the fuel cap is loose (for venting), check spark plug connection, and ensure the choke is set correctly for cold starts. Consult the engine manual for detailed starting procedures.
Sweeper is not moving forward/backward
Ensure the drive lever is engaged. Check if the selected gear is appropriate. Verify that the engine is running at the correct RPM. Inspect the drive belts for tension and wear if the problem persists (refer to manual).
Brush is not rotating or sweeping effectively
Check if the brush engagement lever is activated. Ensure there are no obstructions tangled in the brush. Inspect the brush for excessive wear and replace if necessary. Check drive belt for brush engagement.
Poor traction on uneven surfaces
Ensure the Snow Hog tyres are properly inflated. Reduce speed and select a lower gear for better control. Avoid attempting to clear excessively steep inclines.
Excessive vibration during operation
Stop the engine immediately. Inspect the brush and wheels for any damage or loose parts. Ensure debris is not accumulating unevenly on the brush.
