ASSEMBLING

HANDLEBAR

Lift the upper part of the handlebar and position it behind the machine. Move the lower part of the handlebar upwards and tighten the locking knobs A (fig. 1).

Then fit the upper part of the handlebar. A securing eye for the starting handle is fitted on the right- hand side (fig. 2).

Storage position: Slacken the locking knobs on the lower part of the handlebar and move it forwards. Then slacken the locking knobs on the upper part of the handlebar and move it backwards (fig. 3).

Note that you must check to make sure that the wires do not fasten and break when the steering han- dle is moved upwards or into the storage position.

CONTROLS

Fit the wires and electric cable (only Multiclip 46 SE) in the cable retainer E (fig. 4). Secure the start- er handle in the eyelet F on the right-hand side of the steering handle.

BATTERY (Multiclip 46 SE)

Electrolyte in the battery is toxic and corrosive. It can cause serious corrosion damage etc. Avoid all contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Before starting the mower the first time, you should charge the battery for 24 hours. Refer also to the section titled 'MAINTENANCE, BAT- TERY'.

USING THE MOWER

BEFORE STARTING

FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL

The lawn mower is delivered without any oil in the motor crankcase. The crankcase must, therefore, be filled with oil before the motor is started the first time.

1.Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 6,7,8,9).

2.Fill the engine's crankcase with 0.6 litres of good quality oil (service class SE, SF or SG) Use SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 oil.

3.Fill until the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX” mark on the dip stick. Do not fill with too much oil.

CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

Check before using the machine that the oil level is between “FULL/MAX” and “ADD/MIN” on the dipstick.

Briggs & Stratton, Honda: Remove and dry the dipstick (fig. 6,7,8). Slide it down completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull it up again. Read-off. If the oil level is low, fill with oil up to the “FULL/ MAX” mark.

Tecumseh: Clean the area round the oil plug, then remove the plug (fig. 9). If the oil is not level with the edge of the hole, carefully pour in clean oil. Re- place the oil plug.

46SE, 46S specifications

The Stiga 46SE and 46S are exceptional lawn mowers designed to provide efficient and reliable performance for various lawn care needs. Known for their robust design and advanced technology, these models cater to homeowners and gardening enthusiasts seeking quality and ease of use.

One of the standout features of both the 46SE and 46S is their powerful 140cc engine, which delivers robust cutting performance while maintaining fuel efficiency. This reliable engine is engineered for easier starting and reduced emissions, aligning with modern eco-friendly initiatives. Additionally, the mowers come with a 46cm cutting width, making them ideal for medium to large lawns, as they can effectively cover substantial ground in a shorter time.

The cutting system on both models is designed for versatility. They feature a 5-position cutting height adjustment, allowing users to tailor the grass length to their preference—ranging from 22mm for a neat finish to 80mm for a more robust cut. This flexibility accommodates different types of grass and seasonal conditions, making the mowers highly adaptable.

Another innovative aspect of the Stiga 46SE and 46S is their impressive grass collection capabilities. Equipped with spacious 50-liter grass catchers, these mowers ensure minimal downtime for emptying, allowing users to focus on completing their lawn care tasks efficiently. The catchers are designed for easy removal and reattachment, further simplifying the mowing process.

Comfort and ease of use are also prioritized in these models. They feature ergonomic handles that can be adjusted to suit the user’s height, and their lightweight design enhances maneuverability across the lawn. The foldable handles allow for compact storage, making them convenient for users with limited space.

In terms of build quality, both mowers feature a robust steel chassis that enhances durability, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of regular use. The Stiga 46SE is equipped with self-propulsion technology, offering effortless navigation across inclined terrains and uneven surfaces.

The Stiga 46S, on the other hand, is a manual mower that offers a more traditional experience while still providing the same quality cutting performance. Overall, both models represent a perfect balance of power, efficiency, and user-friendliness, making them excellent choices for achieving a well-manicured lawn.
