Product Information

Full details

The Stiga Combi 748 S is a self-propelled petrol lawn mower designed for homeowners with medium to large gardens (up to 1200 m²). Its key benefit is its versatility, offering four cutting modes: collect, rear discharge, side discharge, and mulching. A potential caveat for some users might be its reliance on petrol power, requiring fuel and maintenance.

FAQs

What type of fuel should I use?

The Stiga Combi 748 S requires unleaded petrol. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific octane rating recommendations.

How often should I check the engine oil?

It is recommended to check the engine oil level before each use. Top up if necessary, and refer to the manual for recommended oil type and change intervals.

What is the purpose of the wash link?

The wash link allows you to easily clean the underside of the mower deck. Connect a garden hose to the fitting and run the engine briefly (as per manual instructions) to wash away accumulated grass clippings.

Can I use this mower on a very wet lawn?

It is generally best to avoid mowing very wet grass. This can lead to clumping, poor cutting performance, and can clog the mower. Mulching wet grass is particularly ineffective.

How do I switch between the 4 cutting modes?

To switch modes, you typically need to attach or remove the mulch plug (for mulching), the side deflector (for side discharge), or ensure the grass collector is fitted (for collection or rear discharge). Consult your manual for precise instructions on configuration for each mode.

What maintenance is required for storage?

For long-term storage (e.g., winter), it's advisable to empty the fuel tank or use a fuel stabilizer. Clean the mower thoroughly, especially the deck and blade. Store in a dry, protected area.

What is the warranty period?

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.

Troubleshooting

Engine won't start

Ensure there is sufficient fuel and oil. Check the spark plug is clean and properly connected. Make sure the primer bulb (if equipped) has been pressed. Verify the throttle is in the 'start' position. Consult the owner's manual for specific Stiga engine starting procedures.

Poor cutting performance

Check if the cutting height is set too low for the grass conditions. Ensure the blade is sharp and not damaged. Clean any grass or debris buildup around the blade and deck. If mulching, ensure grass is not too long or wet.

Self-propelled system not engaging

Confirm the drive lever is engaged correctly. Check for any obstructions around the drive belt or wheels. Ensure the engine is running at the correct RPM for the self-propel system to engage.

Mower vibrates excessively

Stop the engine immediately. Inspect the blade for damage, imbalance, or improper mounting. Ensure all handlebar and body bolts are tightened securely. Foreign objects lodged in the deck can also cause vibration.

Grass collector not filling properly

Ensure the grass bag is correctly attached and not overfilled. Check for blockages in the discharge chute between the deck and the bag. If mulching, switch to collection mode and ensure the mulch plug is removed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile 4-in-1 cutting system caters to different lawn care needs.

  • Reliable STIGA engine provides ample power for the task.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack all components and ensure everything listed in the manual is present.
  2. Attach the handlebar sections as per the instructions, ensuring bolts are tightened securely.
  3. Add the correct type and amount of unleaded petrol to the fuel tank (0.75 L capacity).
  4. Add the correct type and amount of engine oil to the oil tank (0.5 L capacity) before the first use and regular checks.
  5. Check the tyre pressure if applicable (not specified, but always good practice).
  6. Familiarize yourself with the cutting height adjustment lever and the 4-in-1 system selector (mulch plug, side deflector).

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for various grass types, with the 4-in-1 system adaptable to different conditions.

Care:

  • After Each Use: Clean the mower deck using the wash link or by carefully tilting the mower (ensure fuel/oil are not leaking) to remove grass clippings. Brush off debris from the chassis and engine.
  • Engine Maintenance: Regularly check the oil level. Refer to the Stiga manual for recommended oil type and change intervals. Keep the air filter clean.
  • Blade Care: Inspect the blade for damage periodically. Sharpen or replace as needed. Ensure the blade is securely fastened.
  • Storage: Store in a dry, sheltered location. It is recommended to empty the fuel tank or use a fuel stabilizer if storing for extended periods (e.g., over winter).
  • Grass Bag: Empty and clean the grass bag regularly.
