The Atco Admiral 16S is the self-propelled version of the Admiral 16, meaning less effort to get the job done, but requiring more skill to operate.
The powerful 5hp Briggs and Stratton engine runs on unleaded petrol and makes mince meat out of the longest of grass, effortlessly slashing with its hardened steel blade. Together with the integrated rear roller, the Atco Admiral 16S can produce a beautiful striped lawn.
Atco have developed three separate models of the Admiral, the 16, 16S and 16SE, giving you the option of a push or self propelled model with both key or recoil starting systems. The Atco Admiral 16S is a self-propelled lawnmower, with a recoil starting mechanism.
The height of cut is easily adjustable between 1cm and 6cm, by turning a single knob which raises and lowers the deck. When you've finished mowing the handles fold away neatly allowing for easy storage.
With a large 40cm cutting width, the Atco Admiral 16S is ideal for medium or large sized lawns, and can easily deal with an uneven garden. Being petrol powered, there's no worry about getting tangled up in electrical cable either!

I have an Admiral 16SE it won't electic start. Battery is OK, they say it is a common wiring fault but I don't know where. It starts easily with a pull. Avoiud the electic start.

I have an admiral 16s and it is a lovely machiine that cuts and stripes effortlessly and is well worth the outlay. It starts (Once primed) first pull and i have to say that the only problem i have had is the flap at the back doesnt stay down at times and as a result it can shower you with grass but i guess that the flap may need replacing. Its for this reason that i will give this machine 4 stars instead of 5.

We inherited one of these from my Brother-in-Law, who had it from my grandmother originally. It's about 15 years old. I've just done a full strip down and put it back together and it's running beautifully. These mowers seem to be really well made. It's a small machine, true, but good for getting round tight corners. Quality. Worth the outlay. Parts still available. Mower 15 years old and going strong - Buy One!
