Stiga 8211-0276-02 manual OIL FILTER - ENGINE Royal - Pro16 - Pro18 - Pro20, Air Filter - Engine

ENGLISH GB

The engine oil may be very warm 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. Oil drain pipe (metal):

Unscrew the oil drain plug at the end of the pipe.

Let the oil run out into a collection vessel. Then take the oil to a recycling station. Do not allow oil to get on the V-belts.

2.Screw up the oil drain plug. Make sure that the fibre gasket and the O-ring inside the plug are not damaged and that they are in the correct place.

3.Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil.

Oil capacity:

Senator, President – 1.4 l

Royal – 1.9 l (including oil filter)

Pro16, Pro18, Pro20 - 1.7 l (including oil filter)

Oil type summertime (> 4º C): SAE-30

(SAE 10W-30 can also be used. However, oil con- sumption may increase somewhat if 10W/30 is used. Therefore, check the oil level more regularly if you use this type of oil).

Oil type winter (< 4º C): SAE 5W-30

(if this oil is not available, use SAE 10W-30).

Use oil without any additives.

Do not fill too much oil as this can result in over- heating the engine.

After filling up the oil, start the engine and idle for 30 seconds. Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds and then check the oil level.

Check to see if there is any oil leakage. If neces- sary, fill up the oil up to the “FULL” mark.

OIL FILTER - ENGINE (Royal - Pro16 - Pro18 - Pro20)

Replace the oil filter after every 100 hours of oper- ation or once a season.

Before screwing the new filter, oil the filter gasket with engine oil.

Screw the filter by hand, until the filter gasket touches the filter attachment. Then tighten ½ to ¾ of a full turn (fig. 17 - 18).

Start the engine and idle to see if any leakage oc- curs. Switch off the engine, check the oil level. If necessary, fill up the oil up to the “FULL” mark.

AIR FILTER - ENGINE

Clean the foam pre-filter every 3 months or after every 25 hours of operation, whichever comes first.

Clean the paper filter insert once a year or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever comes first.

NOTE! The filters should be cleaned more often if the machine operates on dusty ground.

1.Loosen the wing nut under the fuel tank and move it backwards (fig. 16). Also loosen the bat- tery to make it easier to get at the air filter (applies to Pro16-Pro18-Pro20).

2.Remove the protective cover of the air filter (fig.

19- 21).

3.Dismantle the paper filter insert and the foam pre-filter. Make sure that no dirt gets into the car- burettor. Clean the air filter housing.

4.Wash the pre-filter in liquid detergent and water. Squeeze dry. Pour a little oil on the filter and squeeze in the oil.

5.Clean the paper filter insert as follows: Knock it lightly against a flat surface. If the filter is very dirty, change it.

6.Assemble in the reverse order.

Petroleum-based solvents such as kerosene must not be used for cleaning the paper filter insert as these can destroy the filter.

Do not use compressed air for cleaning the paper filter insert. The paper filter insert must not be oiled.

AIR FILTER - CATALYTIC CONVERT- ER (Pro18 - Pro20)

Clean the catalytic converter’s air filter every 3 months or after every 25 hours of operation, whichever comes first.

1.Remove the cover by pressing in the locking mechanism with a screwdriver, etc. (fig. 22).

2.Remove the foam filter and wash it in liquid de- tergent and water. Squeeze dry. Pour a little oil on the filter and squeeze in the oil.

3.Replace the filter and snap the lock into place.
