Service and Maintenance

wheel when the machine stands completely still and the accessory is in the lowered working po- sition.

The steering is adapted in order to produce better results at a normal working speed.

Even when the engine is not running, the steering works. However, it is harder to turn in this case, if the machine is to be manoeuvred manually.

OPERATING

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 and down, and from down to the top.

The machine, equipped with original accessories must not be driven on slopes greater than 10º in any direction.

Reduce the speed on slopes and when moving the machine in sharp turns to prevent the machine from tipping over or that you lose control over the ma- chine.

Do not turn the steering wheel to full lock when driving in top gear and at full throttle, as the machine can easily top- ple over.

Keep hands and feet well away from ar- ticulated steering joint and seat bracket to avoid having them squeezed. Never operate the machine without the engine casing.

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.

The contents of this program can be found in the attached service log.

We recommend that an authorised workshop car- ries out every service. This guarantees that the

work is performed by trained personnel and with original spare parts.

At every service, the service log should be stamped. A “fully stamped” service log is a valua- ble document that improves the machine’s second- hand value.

PREPARATIONS

Unless otherwise stated, all service and mainte- nance must be performed on a machine that is standing still where the engine is not running.

Prevent the machine from rolling, by al- ways applying the parking brake.

Prevent involuntary engine start by al- ways stopping the engine, loosening the spark plug cable from the sparking plug and earthing it. Remove the minus (-) cable from the battery.

CLEANING

To reduce the risk of fire, keep the en- gine silencer/catalytic converter, bat- tery 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.

When washing the machine with water under high pressure, do not point the jet directly at the trans- mission.

Do not point jets of water directly at the engine, use a brush or compressed air in order to clean it.

CHANGING ENGINE OIL

Change the oil for the first time after 8 hours run- ning (Senator and President after 5 hours), and then after every 50 hours running or once a year. Change oil when the engine is warm.

Always use a good grade of oil (service grade SF, SG or SH).

Change the oil more often (after 25 hours of run- ning or at least once a season) if the engine has to operate under demanding conditions or if the am- bient temperature is high.
