FAQs
What type of oil should I use for the Honda engine?
Refer to the Honda GCVx145 engine manual for the specific oil type and viscosity recommended. Typically, SAE 30 is suitable for warmer temperatures.
How often should I change the oil?
It is generally recommended to change the oil after the first 5 hours of use and then every 25-50 hours of operation, or annually, whichever comes first. Consult the engine manual for precise intervals.
Can I use this mower on a wet lawn?
It is best to avoid mowing wet grass. Wet grass clumps easily, leading to poor cutting performance, reduced collection efficiency, and potential damage to the lawn. It can also be more slippery underfoot.
What is the warranty period for this Stiga mower?
This model comes with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty, subject to terms and conditions. Please refer to the warranty documentation provided with your product.
How do I switch between collecting, mulching, and discharging?
To collect, attach the grass collector. For rear or side discharge, remove the collector and attach the corresponding deflector. For mulching, insert the mulching plug into the rear discharge opening.
Is assembly required upon delivery?
Yes, some assembly is typically required, primarily for attaching the handle bars. The engine will likely require oil and fuel before the first start. Please refer to the included instruction manual for detailed steps.
What is the maximum lawn size this mower is suitable for?
The Stiga Combi 748 V is suitable for managing large lawns up to approximately 1200 m².
Troubleshooting
Engine won't start
Ensure there is fuel in the tank, check the oil level, ensure the spark plug is connected, and check that the primer bulb has been pressed (if applicable). Make sure the safety bar is engaged.
Mower is not self-propelling
Check that the drive cable is connected and engaged correctly. Ensure the drive belt is intact and not slipping. Clean any debris from the drive mechanism.
Uneven cutting performance
Check that the cutting blade is sharp and properly balanced. Ensure the cutting height is set correctly and evenly on all wheels. Clean grass build-up from the deck.
Grass clippings not being collected effectively
Empty the grass collector frequently. Ensure the collector is fitted correctly and there are no blockages in the chute. Check if the mulching plug has been inadvertently left in place.
Excessive vibration during operation
Stop the engine immediately and check the condition and mounting of the cutting blade. A bent or unbalanced blade is the most common cause. Ensure all handle bolts are tight.
