Why won't my Stiga TC 102 Lawn Mower engine start, even though the starter motor runs?
- K
  Kristi WhiteAug 19, 2025
  If the starter motor runs but the engine doesn't start, the battery might be insufficiently charged, so recharge the battery. Alternatively, there could be a faulty fuel supply, so check the level in the tank. Open the fuel stopcock, check the fuel filter, or check that the spark plug cap is securely fitted. Also, check that the electrodes are clean and have the correct gap.

What to do if the dashboard on my Stiga TC 102 Lawn Mower doesn't turn on and there's no sound when I turn the key?

  If the dashboard fails to switch on and there is no acoustic signal, it could be due to a badly connected battery or inverted battery terminals, so check the connections. The battery may also be completely discharged, in which case you should recharge it. A blown fuse could also be the cause, so replace the fuse (10 A). Finally, a wet circuit board can cause this issue, so dry it using lukewarm air.

Why is my Stiga TC 102 mowing unevenly and not collecting grass well?
- F
  Frank LeeSep 3, 2025
  Uneven mowing and insufficient collection could be due to the cutting means assembly not being parallel to the ground, so check the tyre pressure and reinstate the alignment of the cutting means assembly in relation to the ground. Also, reduce the forward speed and/or raise the cutting device assembly, wait for the grass to dry, or remove the grass catcher and empty the chute if the collector chute is blocked.

  If you notice unusual vibrations while working, it could be because the cutting means assembly is full of grass, so clean the cutting means assembly. Also, check and tighten all the engine and frame bolts if there are loose bolts and screws.
