4.7 Stop
Disengage the power take-off. Apply the parking
brake.
Allow the engine to idle 1-2 mins. Stop the engine
by turning off the ignition key.
Shut off the petrol cock. This is particularly impor-
tant if the machine is to be transported on a trailer
for example.
If the machine is left unattended, re-
move the spark plug cable(s) and re-
move the ignition key.
The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
silencer, cylinder or cooling fins. This
can cause burn injuries.
4.8 Cleaning
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the en-
gine, silencer, battery and fuel tank free
from grass, leaves and oil.
To reduce the risk of fire, regularly
check the machine for oil and/or fuel
leakage.
Clean the machine after each use. The following
instructions apply for cleaning:
• When washing the machine with water under
high pressure, do not point the jet directly at
axle seals, electrical components or hydraulic
valves.
• Do not spray water directly at the engine.
• Clean the engine with a brush and/or com-
pressed air.
• Clean the engine’s cooling air intake (10, 11,
12:W).
5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 Service programme
In order to keep the machine in good condition as
regards reliability and operational safety as well as
from an environmental perspective, STIGA’s Ser-
vice programme should be followed.
The contents of this programme can be found in
the attached service log.
Basic service
must always be carried out by an au-
thorised workshop.
First service and intermediate service
should be
carried out by an authorised workshop, but can
also be carried out by the user. The content of this
can be found in the service log and the actions are
described under “4 STARTING AND OPERA-
TION” as well as below.
Servicing carried out at an authorised workshop
guarantees professional work using genuine spare
parts.
At each basic service and intermediate service car-
ried out at an authorised workshop, the service log
is stamped. A service log presenting these services
is a valuable document that improves the ma-
chine’s second-hand value.
5.2 Preparation
All service and all maintenance must be carried out
on a stationary machine with the engine switched
off.
Prevent the machine from rolling by al-
ways applying the parking brake.
Stop the engine.
Prevent unintentional starting of the
engine by disconnecting the spark plug
cable(s) from the spark plug(s) and re-
moving the ignition key.
5.3 Tyre pressure
Adjust the air pressure in the tyres as follows:
Front: 0.6 bar (9 psi).
Rear: 0.4 bar (6 psi).
5.4 Changing engine oil
This section contains tables covering the different
engines that are included in STIGA’s range. To fa-
cilitate reading, mark the data that applies to the
relevant machine/engine.
5.4.1 Change intervals
The table below states hours of operation and cal-
endar months. Carry out the relevant action at
whichever occurs first.
Change the oil more frequently if the engine has to
operate in demanding conditions or if the ambient
temperature is high.
