engine must stop (only Ready).
- press the drive pedal so that the machine starts
to move, release the drive pedal – the machine
should stop (only Ready HST).
- engage the power take-off, lift your weight off
the seat – the engine should stop.
Do not use the machine if the safety sys-
tem is not working! Take the machine
to a service workshop for inspection!
STARTING ENGINE
1. Open the fuel cock (fig. 6).
2. Make sure that the spark plug cable is properly
in place.
3. Check to make sure that the power take-off is
disengaged.
4a. Ready: Put the gear lever in neutral.
4b. Ready HST: Do not keep your foot on the
drive pedal.
5. Starting cold engine – put the throttle control in
the choke position. Starting warm engine – put the
throttle control at full throttle (approx. 1 cm behind
the choke position).
6. Depress the brake pedal fully.
7. Turn the ignition key and start the engine.
8. Once the engine has started, move the throttle
control gradually to full throttle if the choke has
been used.
9. When starting from cold, do not make the ma-
chine work under load immediately, but let the en-
gine run for a few minutes first. This will allow the
oil to warm up.
When in use, always operate the engine at full
throttle.
STOPPING
Disengage the power take-off. Apply the parking
brake.
Allow the engine to idle 1 - 2 mins. Stop the engine
by turning off the starter 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 ignition key. Also remove the
spark plug cable from the spark plug.
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.
DRIVING TIPS
Make sure that there is the correct quantity of oil in
the engine when driving on slopes (oil level on
“FULL”).
Be careful when driving on slopes. No
sudden starting or stopping when mov-
ing up or down a slope. Never drive
across a slope. Move from the top down,
and from the bottom to the top.
The machine, equipped with original
accessories, may not be driven on slopes
greater than 10º in any direction.
Reduce the speed on slopes and when
making sharp turns to prevent the ma-
chine from tipping over or you losing
control of the machine.
Do not turn the steering wheel to full
lock when driving in top gear and at full
throttle. The machine can easily topple
over.
Keep hands and fingers well away from
the seat bracket. Risk of crushing inju-
ries. Never drive with the engine casing
open.
Never drive with the cutting deck in the
raised position. This damages the deck
drive belt.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
SERVICE PROGRAM
In order to keep the machine in good condition, as
regards reliability and operational safety as well as
from an environmental perspective, STIGA’s serv-
ice program should be followed.
We recommend that all service work is carried out
by an authorised workshop. This guarantees that
the work is performed by trained personnel and
with genuine spare parts.
PREPARATIONS
Unless otherwise stated, all service and mainte-
nance must be carried out on a stationary machine
