4.10 Cleaning
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the en- gine, silencer, battery 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.
Clean the machine after each use. The following instructions apply for cleaning:
•When washing the machine with water under high pressure, do not point the jet directly at axle seals, electrical components or hydraulic valves.
•Do not spray water directly at the engine.
•Clean the engine with a brush and/or com- pressed air.
•Clean the engine’s cooling air intake (10:W).
5MAINTENANCE
5.1Service programme
In order to keep the machine in good condition as regards reliability and operational safety as well as from an environmental perspective, STIGA’s Ser- vice programme should be followed.
The contents of this programme can be found in the attached service log.
Basic service must always be carried out by an au- thorised workshop.
First service and intermediate service should be carried out by an authorised workshop, but can also be carried out by the user. The content of this can be found in the service log and the actions are described under “4 STARTING AND OPERA- TION” as well as below.
Servicing carried out at an authorised workshop guarantees professional work using genuine spare parts.
At each basic service and intermediate service car- ried out at an authorised workshop, the service log is stamped. A service log presenting these services is a valuable document that improves the ma- chine’s
5.2Preparation
All service and all maintenance must be carried out on a stationary machine with the engine switched off.
Prevent the machine from rolling by al- ways applying the parking brake.
Stop the engine.
Prevent unintentional starting of the motor by always stopping the motor and disconnecting the negative cable from the battery.
5.3Tyre pressure
Adjust the air pressure in the tyres as follows: Front: 0.6 bar (9 psi).
Rear: 0.4 bar (6 psi).
5.4 Changing engine oil
The engine oil must be changed for the first time after 25 hours of operation and then every 250 hours of operation.
Use the following oil specifications:
Select the oil grade according to the table below.
Ambient temperature | Oil grade |
10W/40 | |
5W/40 |
Use oil without any additives.
Do not overfill with 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. So allow the engine to cool a few minutes before draining the oil.
1.Push the drain hose down so that it comes out under the engine. See fig. 12
2.Tighten the clamp on the oil drain hose. Use a polygrip or similar.
3.Move the clamp
4.Collect the oil in a container.
NOTE! Do not spill any oil on the drive belts.
5.Dispose of the oil according to local regula- tions.
6.Install the oil drain plug and slide the clamp back so that it clamps over the plug.
7.To clean the oil filter, see 5.4.1 below before continuing.
8.Remove the filler cap (11:C) and fill with oil. The engine has a capacity of around 1.7 litres.
9.After filling the oil, start the engine and run at idle speed for 30 seconds.
10.Check to see if there is any oil leakage. 11.Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds and then
check the oil level. See 4.3. Top up the oil if necessary.
