Stiga 107M manual Use, Service and Maintenance

GB ENGLISH

3.To the side of the support arm, there are four

short and two long lines. The upper long line (A) is the basic setting for a machine with 16" tyres. The lower line (B) is for a machine with 17" tyres (fig. 12).

Note! Park Pro 16, Pro 18 and Pro 20 - year model 2000 - have 17" wheels. All other models have 16" wheels.

Depending on the length of the grass, the mower deck can be adjusted in different ways:

4a. Mowing normal length grass:

Adjust the mower deck so that the casing's front and rear edges are the same height from the floor. Use position A resp. B. This position gives the best “Multiclip effect”, i.e. the grass is shredded best in this position.

4b. Mowing long grass:

Adjust the mower deck so that the casing's rear edge is higher than the front edge. Use position A+5 resp. B+5. This position ensures that the mowing deck can discharge the grass easier out of the rear.

5.After setting the mower deck, tighten the screws.

USE

MOWING HEIGHT

The mower deck has a number of fixed mowing heights, from 30 to 75 mm.

Note! The stated mowing heights apply when the machine is standing on firm ground.

MOWING HINTS

For the best “Multiclip” effect, follow this advice:

-Mow regularly.

-Use full throttle on the engine.

-Keep the underside of the mower deck clean.

-Use sharp blades.

-Do not mow wet grass.

-Mow twice (using different heights) if the grass is long.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

PREPARATIONS

Unless otherwise stated, all service and mainte- nance must be performed on a machine that is standing still where the engine has been switched off.

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.

MAINTENANCE TIPS

To facilitate cleaning and maintenance, the mower deck can be folded up:

1.Unhook the tension roller spring (fig. 10).

2.Pry off the V-belt from the central belt pulley.

3.Set the mowing height adjustment to the highest mowing height.

4.Lift the rear edge of the mowing deck with one hand (fig. 13).

5.Push up the inhibitor and lower the rear edge of the mowing deck (fig. 13).

6.Repeat the procedure on the other side.

7.Fold up the mower deck until it stands upright (fig. 14).

When the mowing deck is folded down to the working position, make sure that the inhibitor falls down into a position where the rear edge of the mowing deck is lifted up (fig. 8).

CLEANING

After each use, the underside of the mower deck should be hosed down.

If grass cuttings have dried on the mower deck, scrape the underside clean.

If necessary, touch-up the underside using a suita- ble paint to prevent corrosion.
