Self-Propelled Power!

The beauty of having a self-propelled drive is that it takes the effort out of mowing. So, once you’ve bought the HW531 PD, there’s no need to worry about pushing it around your lawn because the mower will do all the work for you.

An Ergonomically Designed Mower

This self-propelled mower features an ergonomically designed soft-grip handlebar with cam locks, which is fully adjustable to ensure you adopt a healthy posture and remain comfortable while operating it.

Once your lawnmowing is done, the handlebar can be folded up, so you can easily assimilate the mower into your existing garden storage facility.

Large Rear Wheels

The Mountfield HW531 is designed with large rear wheels and soft-tread tyres, so comfortably handles undulating ground. (The rear wheels measure 280 mm, while the front wheels are 200 mm.)

Collector Bag vs Mulching

The HW531 PD comes with a spacious 70-litre textile collector bag too. Its generous size allows you to spend more time mowing and less time emptying grass cuttings.

Alternately, you can use the mulching plug to recycle the finely cut grass cuttings back onto your lawn to act as a nutrient-rich mulch. (Mulching plug is included as standard.)

Cleaning the Mower

As this petrol lawn mower includes a washing link,  you can quickly and easily attach a hose to wash down the deck after use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q) What engine is in the Mountfield HW531PD?
A) The Mountfield HW531 PD Petrol Lawnmower is powered by a 196 cc Stiga ST 200 OHV Autochoke engine.

Q) What fuel should I use in my Mountfield lawn mower?
A) You should use clean, fresh, high-quality unleaded petrol, with a minimum of 90 octane. Do not use fuel formulated with ethanol greater than 10% and do not add oil. To protect the fuel system, we advise mixing in a fuel stabiliser.

Q) What oil do you put in a Mountfield lawn mower?
A) Only use high-quality oil, choosing its viscosity grade according to the operating temperature. Only use detergent oil with a quality of no less than SF-SG. Do not mix oils of different brands and characteristics. Please be advised that the use of multigrade oil can lead to greater consumption in hot weather, so you should check the oil level more frequently. Also note that if SAE 30 oil is used below +5°C, this could result in possible engine damage due to inadequate lubrication.
