AL-KO Premium 520 SP-H 4-in-1 Self-Propelled Petrol Lawn Mower

Description

The AL-KO Premium 520 SP-H combines the reliability of a world-renowned Honda engine, the quality and performance of German engineering, and the adaptability of four mowing options.

This 51cm (20") self-propelled petrol rotary lawn mower will take large expanses of lawn up to 1,800 square metres in its stride, even on slopes thanks to the self-propulsion and extra large, smooth-running rear drive wheels.

The easy-starting Honda GCVx170 four-stroke engine, with overhead valve technology, offers better fuel efficiency, higher power output and quieter, smooth performance, as well as ease of use and maintenance. The engine produces an impressive power output of 3.2kW ensuring high performance in even the toughest conditions.

AL-KO's MaxAirlow steel housing is dome-shaped to for the best mowing and catching results. In addition, the 520 SP-H provides the flexibility of mulch mowing, discharging to the side or to the rear of this 4-in-1 machine, to cater for everything from a well manicured formal lawn to larger, rougher areas of grass. Versatility is further enhanced by the spring-assisted centralised cutting height which can be adjusted through seven pre-set stages from 30mm to 80mm to suit conditions.

The grass catcher holds an impressive 70 litres of grass clippings and, with less trips to the compost to empty, a fill level indicator will alert you when it is full. Thanks to the integrated lip on the grass box, it can be easily mounted to the mower.

As with all the lawn mowers in the Premium range, AL-KO's upright storage function saves space in the shed and gives easy access to beneath the mower deck for cleaning and maintenance. The integrated front carry handle is ideal when it comes to transporting the lawn mower, storing it away or lifting it over steps or obstacles in the garden.

For peace of mind, the AL-KO Premium 520 SP-H petrol lawn mower is backed by an industry-leading five year manufacturer's warranty for domestic use.

Features

	Honda GCVx170 Engine Innovative styling with new standard top cover The OHV design with Honda Combustion Technology for a more efficient combustion Best in class: Power & Torque Easy, reliable starting with the enhanced Auto Choke Comfort System High quality materials and purpose-built components ensure reliable long term use Exceeds European exhaust emission legislation Soft tone noise and reduced vibration Low fuel and oil consumption Easy service and maintenance
	Self-Propelled The mower is equipped with a clutch which, when engaged, propels the mower forward, reducing the amount of effort expended by the operator.
	4-IN-ONE Function A multi-purpose machine, AL-KO's prized 4-in-1 function features mowing, collecting, mulching and side discharge capabilities.
	MAXAIRFLOW Technology Extra tall, extra large – that's the basis for MaxAirflow technology. This is because the extra tall steel plate deck and extra large discharge channel increase the airflow by 42 per cent. As a result, the grass clippings are not transported at a low level into the grass catcher as in the case of most standard lawnmowers, but are instead thrown backwards in a high arc and remain at the back. This means the grass catcher is effectively filled from the back, without the discharge channel becoming blocked. Another bonus: The removable service flap for convenient mower maintenance. Full Catcher, Fewer Interruptions MaxAirflow technology means that the lawn clippings are thrown to the back of the grass catcher, as a result of which it is filled to the top and does not have to be emptied so often. No Green Fingers MaxAirflow technology means that it is even possible to mow long, damp grass without leaving clumps behind on the ground or blocking the discharge channel. This means your hands stay cleaner.
	Efficient Controls The Premium lawn mower range features efficient controls including a sculpted drive lever to avoid trapping fingers.
	AL-KO Service Position An innovative AL-KO concept, this mower features a unique Service Position which enables the mower to stand on end when the fuel tank is empty. This allows easy cleaning and maintenance of the underside of the mower deck.
