It has a centralised lever to adjust the cutting height of the blade - with six positions to choose from depending on the length of grass you are cutting for a precision cut every time. With a fixed rpm of 2900, the ST 170 OHV Autochoke engine has a fuel tank capacity of 1L and engine oil tank capacity of 0.55L.
Grass clippings are collected into a generous 60-litre canvas grass bag complete with'bag full' indicator. Alternatively if you prefer to mulch the grass this versatile mower also includes a mulching plug. Simply remove the grass bag and insert into the grass chute - grass clippings are then finely cut and recycled back onto the lawn as a nitrogen rich mulch. Mulching is a great way to keep your lawn healthy and also saves time when mowing too with no need to stop to empty the grass bag - win, win! A skid plate is fitted at the front of the cutter deck- this ensures the best possible finish to the lawn and minimises the risk of scalping on uneven surfaces. Storing the SP53 after use is easy - simply clean off any grass, fold down the handles and store in your shed or garage.
