Stiga 8211-0072-80 Tyre pressure, Changing engine oil, 14.5Fuel filter, 14.6Belt transmissions

ENENGLISH

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.

14.3 Tyre pressure

Adjust the air pressure in the tyres as follows: Front: 0.6 bar (9 psi).

Rear: 0.4 bar (6 psi).

14.4 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.

14.4.1Change intervals

The table below states hours of operation and cal- endar months. Carry out the relevant action at whichever occurs first.

Machine	1st time	Then at
		intervals of
Silent	Hours of	operation/Cal-
	endar months
Changing the oil	20 hours/	100 hours/
	1 month	6 months

Change the oil more frequently if the engine has to operate in demanding conditions or if the ambient temperature is high.

14.4.2Engine Oil

Use oil according to the table below.

Oil	SAE 10W-30
Service class	SJ or higher

Use oil without any additives.

Do not fill with too much oil. This can cause the engine to overheat.

Change oil when the engine is warm.

The engine oil may be very hot if it is drained off directly after the engine is shut off. Therefore allow the engine to cool a few minutes before draining the oil.

1.Attach the clamp on the oil drainage hose. Use a polygrip or similar. See fig. 15-17:Y.

2.Move the clamp up 3-4 cm on the oil drainage hose and pull out the plug.

3.Collect the oil in a collection vessel.

NOTE! Do not spill any oil on the drive belts.

4.Hand in the oil for disposal in accordance with local provisions.

5.Install the oil drainage plug and move the clamp back so that it clamps above the plug.

6.Remove the dipstick and fill with new oil. Oil quantity: 0,9 l

7.After filling up the oil, start the engine and idle for 30 seconds.

8.Check to see if there is any oil leakage.

9.Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds and then check the oil level in accordance with “13.2”.

14.5Fuel filter

Replace the fuel filter after 1,500 hours of opera- tion.

Check for fuel leaks once the new filter has been installed.

14.6Belt transmissions

After 5 hours of operation, check that all the belts are intact and undamaged.

14.7Steering

The steering must be checked/adjusted after 5 hours of operation and thereafter after 100 hours of operation.

14.7.1Checks

Briefly turn the steering wheel back and forth. There must be no mechanical clearance in the steering chains.

14.7.2Adjustment

Adjust the steering chains if required as follows:

1.Put the machine in the straight-ahead position.

2.Adjust the steering chains with the two nuts, lo- cated under the central point. See fig. 20.

3.Adjust both nuts by the same amount until there is no clearance.

4.Test drive the machine straight forwards and check that the steering wheel is not off centre.

5.If the steering wheel is off centre, undo one nut and tighten the other.

Do not over-tighten the steering chains. This will cause the steering to become heavy and will in- crease wear on the steering chains.

14.8 Battery

If acid comes into contact with the eyes or skin, this can cause serious injuries. If any part of the body has come into contact with acid, rinse immediately with copious amounts of water and seek medical assistance as soon as possible.

The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V nominal voltage. The battery fluid does not need to and cannot be checked or topped up. The only maintenance that is required is charging, for exam- ple after extended storage.
