37 DEUTSCHDE Das Batterieladegerät darf nicht direkt an den An- schluss des Motors angeschlossen werden. Es ist nicht möglich, den Motor mit dem Ladegerät als Stromquelle zu starten, außerdem kann das Lade- gerät dadurch beschädigt werden. AUFBEWAHRUNG ÜBER DEN WINTER Die Batterie ausbauen und gut aufgeladen über den Winter an einem trockenen und kühlen Ort (zwi- schen 0° C und +15° C) aufbewahren. Mindestens einmal während der Winterpause ist die Batterie aufzuladen. Vor Saisonbeginn die Batterie noch einmal 24 Stun- den aufladen. NACHSTELLEN DES KUPPLUNGSZUGES (*) Wird der Antrieb nicht eingekuppelt, wenn der Kupplungsbügel zum Holm hin gedrückt wird oder wenn der Mäher kraftlos oder langsam er- scheint, kann dies daran liegen, dass die Kupplung schleift. Um diesen Defekt zu beheben, den Kupp- lungszug folgendermaßen nachstellen: 1. Bei losgelassenem Kupplungsbügel muss sich die Maschine leicht rollen lassen. Wenn dies nicht der Fall ist, den Justiernippel T eindrehen, bis sich der Mäher leicht rollen lässt (Abb. 28). 2. Ist der Kupplungsbügel ca. 2 cm gedrückt (Pos. 1), darf sich die Maschine nur schwer rollen lassen. Bei ganz herun- tergedrückten Bügel (Pos. 2) darf sich die Maschine nicht rollen lassen. Den Justiernip- pel T so lange herausschrau- ben, bis dies erreicht ist. MESSERWECHSEL Tragen Sie beim Wechseln von Messern bzw. Klingen Schutzhandschuhe, um Schnittverletzungen auszuschließen. Die Messer regelmäßig kontrollieren. Vor allem der gebogene Bereich hinter den Schneiden ist sorgfältig auf Verschleiß zu überprüfen. Wenn das Messer Beschädi- gungen aufweist, muss es ausgetauscht werden. Ein verschlissenes Messer verur- sacht eine Unwucht und kann den Mäher beschädigen.Kontrollieren Sie nach einer Kollision stets den Zustand der Messer bzw. Klingen. Zuerst das Zündkerzenkabel abziehen. Bei einer Beschädi- gung des Messersystems sind defekte Teile auszu- tauschen. Verwenden Sie ausschließlich Originalersatzteile. Zum Auswechseln des Messers die Schraube lösen (Abb. 29, 30). Das neue Messer mit dem einge- stanzten Logo nach oben zur Messerhalterung hin (also nicht zum Erdboden hin) montieren. Gemäß Abbildung wieder einbauen. fest anziehen. An- zugsdrehmoment 40 Nm. Beim Auswechseln des Messers ist auch der Mes- serbolzen auszuwechseln. Die Garantie erstreckt sich nicht auf Schäden an Messer, Messerhalterung oder auf Motorschäden, die durch Auffahren auf ein Hindernis verursacht wurden. Beim Auswechseln von Messer, Messerbefesti- gung und Messerbolzen sind immer Originaler- satzteile zu verwenden. Die Verwendung von Nicht-Originalersatzteilen ist mit Risiken verbun- den, auch wenn die Teile zur Maschine passen. SCHLEIFEN DES MESSERS Bei evtl. Schleifen ist mit einem Schleifstein nass zu schleifen. Aus Sicherheitsgründen darf das Messer nicht auf einer Schmirgelscheibe geschliffen werden. Durch die zu hohe Temperatur können die Messer spröde werden. Wenn das Messer geschliffen wurde, muss es danach ausgewuchtet werden, um Vibrationsschäden zu vermeiden. AUFBEWAHRUNG AUFBEWAHRUNG ÜBER DEN WINTER Den Kraftstofftank leeren. Motor anlassen und laufen lassen, bis er stehenbleibt. Ein und dasselbe Benzin darf höchstens einen Monat im Tank blei- ben. Den Rasenmäher aufrichten und die Zündkerze he- rausschrauben. Einen Eßlöffel Motoröl in das Zündkerzenloch gießen. Den Startgriff langsam herausziehen, so dass sich das Öl im Zylinder ver- teilt. Die Zündkerze festschrauben.

38 DEUTSCHDE Den Rasenmäher gründlich reinigen und ihn in ei- nem trockenen, geschlossenen Raum lagern.

The cable may need tightening, see under heading “ADJUSTING VARIATOR CABLE“ in the sec- tion “MAINTENANCE“. GRASS COLLECTOR Raise the collector flap and attach the two brackets to the grass collector with the screws provided. The brackets are marked with L and R and should be installed at the corresponding mark on the rear of the mower (fig. 7). Fabric grass collector (*): Fit the fabric bag over the steel frame and then snap the bag onto the plas- tic lid (fig. 6). Plastic grass collector (*): Snap together both halves and then the upper part (fig. 8). Open the flap on the machine and attach the grass collector to the brackets. NOTE! The lawnmower can be operated without the grass collector. The grass is then left in a line behind the machine. BATTERY (*) The electrolyte in the battery is toxic and corrosive. It can cause serious cor- rosion damage etc. Avoid all contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Before starting for the first time the battery should be charged for 24 hours, see further information under the heading MAINTENANCE, BATTERY. Insert ignition key (*) into the ignition lock. USING THE MOWER COMBI(*) Your new lawnmower combines two different functions in the same machine: 1. “MULTICLIP“ The machine comes equipped with a plug (P), in- stalled in the ejector opening (fig. 31). The ma- chine can be used for ‘Multiclip’ i.e. the blade finely cuts up the grass during mowing. The grass then falls into the lawn where it is allowed to rot. This provides the lawn with nourishment.

41 ENGLISHGB To remove the plug, press in the catch (S). On re- installing the plug ensure that both pins are pressed firmly into the holes so that the plug snaps in place. Turbo 43 Combi: To remove the plug, unscrew the wing nut. 2. COLLECTION Assemble the grass collector provided (fig. 6, 8). Open the flap, remove the plug and instead hook the collector onto the rear of the machine. When mowing, the grass is collected in the collec- tor. Empty the grass onto the compost heap or spread it over borders as fertiliser. The machine is also ideal for collecting up leaves in the autumn. BEFORE STARTING FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL The lawnmower is delivered without any oil in the engine crankcase. The crankcase must be filled with oil before the engine is started for the first time. Remove the oil dipstic k ( f ig . 9 , 1 0 , 11 ) . F il l t h e e n - gine’s crankcase with 0.55 litres of good quality oil (service class SE, SF or SG). Use SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 oil. Slowly fill to ‘FULL/MAX’. Do not overfill. CHECK THE OIL LEVEL Check before using the machine that the oil level is between ‘FULL/MAX’ and ‘ADD/MIN’ on the dipstick. Remove and wipe off the dipstick (fig. 9, 10, 11). Slide it down completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull it up again. Read off the oil level. If the oil level is low, fill with oil up to the ‘FULL/MAX’ mark. FILL UP THE PETROL TANK Never remove the filler cap or fill with petrol while the engine is running or still warm. Never completely fill the petrol tank. Al- low a little room for the petrol to expand if necessary. Preferably use environmentally friendly petrol, i.e. alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a composi- tion that is less harmful to people and nature. It has e.g. no lead additives, no oxygenators (alcohols and ethers), no alkenes and no benzene.NOTE! If you change to environmental- ly friendly petrol in an engine previously run on ordinary lead-free petrol (95), the petrol manufacturer’s recommenda- tions must be followed carefully. Ordinary lead-free 95 octane petrol can also be used. You must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed with oil. NOTE! Bear in mind that lead-free petrol is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than can be used within thirty days. STARTING THE ENGINE (Briggs & Stratton) 1. Place the lawnmower on flat, firm ground. Do not start in long grass. 2. Make sure the spark plug cable is connected to the spark plug. 3. If the lawnmower is equipped with throttle con- trol, set the throttle control B to full throttle (fig. 15). 4. When starting a cold engine: Press down the primer fully 6 times (fig. 12, 13). When starting a warm engine, the primer does not need to be used. If the engine stops due to a lack of petrol, refill and press down the primer 3 times. 5. Press in the Start/Stop loopG towards the han- dle. NOTE! The Start/Stop loopG must be kept pressed in to prevent the engine stopping (fig. 15). 6a Manual start: Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by pulling briskly on the starter cord. 6b Electric start (*): Start the engine by turning the ignition key clockwise. Release the key as soon as the engine starts. Always make short at- tempts at starting in order to prevent discharg- ing the battery. For ease of starting, press down the handle so that the front wheels lift slightly from the ground. Do not start in thick grass. 7. For the best mowing results, the engine should always be driven at full throttle. Keep hands and feet away from the ro- tating blade(s). Never put your hand or foot under the blade casing or in the grass ejector while the engine is run- ning.

42 ENGLISHGB STARTING THE ENGINE (Honda) 1. Place the lawnmower on flat, firm ground. Do not start in long grass. 2. Make sure the spark plug cable is connected to the spark plug. 3. Open the fuel tap (fig. 14). 4. Set the throttle control B in the choke posi- tion . NOTE! It is not necessary to use the choke position when the engine is warm (fig. 15). 5. Press the Start/Stop loopG towards the handle. NOTE! The Start/Stop loopG must be kept pressed in to prevent the engine stopping (fig. 15). 6. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by pulling briskly on the starter cord. 7. When the engine starts, move the throttle con- trol backwards until max. revs are obtained. NOTE! The engine should always be run at maximum revs to avoid abnormal machine vi- brations. Keep hands and feet away from the ro- tating blade(s). Never put your hand or foot under the blade casing or in the grass ejector while the engine is run- ning. STOPPING THE ENGINE The engine may be very warm immedi- ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the silencer, cylinder or cooling flanges. This can cause burn injuries. 1. Release the Start/Stop loopG (fig. 15) to stop the engine. This loop must not be disengaged (e.g. by setting it in the depressed position against the handle), as it will not be possible to stop the engine. Honda: Close the fuel tap. 2. If the lawnmower is left unattended, remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug. Also re- move the ignition key (*). If the start/stop loop ceases to work, stop the engine by removing the spark plug cable from the spark plug. Immediately take the lawn mower to an authorised workshop for repair. REAR WHEEL DRIVE (*) Engage the drive by pressing the clutch loop I to- wards the handle. Disengage the drive by releasing the clutch loop I (fig. 15). SPEED (*) Do not touch the variator control when the engine is not running. This can dam- age the operation of the variator. Set to a suitable speed by moving the variator con- trol to one of the 4 positions (fig. 16). The various positions have the following speeds: Position :approx. 2.8 km/h Position 2: approx. 3.1 km/h Position 3: approx. 3.6 km/h Position : approx. 4.5 km/h CUTTING HEIGHT Shut off the engine before adjusting the cutting height. Do not set the cutting height so low that the blade(s) come into contact with une- ven ground. The mower has single-lever control for adjusting the cutting height. Pull the lever out, and set the cutting height to one of the nine positions best suit- ed to your lawn (fig. 17). MAINTENANCE No servicing may be carried out on the engine or lawnmower without first re- moving the spark plug cable from the spark plug. Stop the engine and remove the spark plug cable if the mower is to be lifted, e.g. during transportation. If the lawnmower needs to be tilted, it must be tilted so that the engine’s spark plug faces upwards. Tilt the lawnmower when the fuel tank is empty. CLEANING After each use the mower should be cleaned. This is particularly important on the underside of the mower casing. Rinse clean with the garden hose. The mower will then last longer and work better. High-pressure washers should not be used.

43 ENGLISHGB If grass has dried on to the mower casing, it can be scraped clean. If necessary, touch up the underside with paint to prevent rust damage. Clean the silencer and the surrounding area regularly to remove grass, dirt and flammable waste products. Remove the transmission casing by removing the screws S (fig. 27) and clean around the transmis- sion (*) and drive belts (*) with a brush or com- pressed air once or twice a year. Once every season, the drive wheels (*) should be cleaned internally. Remove both wheels. Clean the gear wheel and the wheel gear rim of grass and dirt using a brush or compressed air (fig. 18). Replace the wheel. COOLING SYSTEM Before each use, the engine’s cooling system must be cleaned. Clean the cylinder’s cooling flanges and air intake of grass remains, dirt, etc. LUBRICATING DRIVE SHAFT (*) Once per season, the wedge on the drive shaft should be greased. Remove the wheel (wheel cap, screw and washer). Then remove the circlip and washer so that the gear wheel can be removed from the shaft. Lubricate the wedge with universal grease. Reinstall the wedge (the wedge is installed differ- ently on the right and left side, fig. 19-20). Install the gear wheel so that the L faces out on the left side and the R faces out on the right side (machine viewed from the rear). OIL CHANGE Replace the oil when the engine is warm and the fuel tank is empty. In order to prevent burns, take care while draining as the oil is hot. Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of oper- ation, and subsequently every 50 hours of opera- tion or once a season. Remove the dipstick, tilt the mower and let the oil run out into a container. Be careful not to let any oil run on to the grass. Fill with new oil: Use SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 oil. The crankcase holds approx. 0.55 litre. Fill until the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX“ mark on the dip- stick. AIR FILTER A dirty and blocked air filter reduces the engine output and increases engine wear. Briggs & Stratton LS 45 (fig. 21): Carefully re- move the air cleaner so that no dirt falls down into the carburettor. Remove the expanded plastic filter and wash it in liquid detergent and water. Dry the filter. Pour a little oil on the filter and squeeze it in. Reinstall the air cleaner. Clean the filter every three months or after every 25 hours of use, whichever occurs first. More fre- quently if the engine is working on dusty ground. Briggs & Stratton XTE (fig. 22): Loosen the screw and close the cover of the air cleaner. Carefully remove the filter cartridge. Knock it against a flat surface. Replace the filter cartridge with a new one if it is still dirty. Clean the filter every three months or after every 25 hours of use, whichever occurs first. More fre- quently if the engine is working on dusty ground. Honda GCV (fig. 23): Remove the cover and take out the filter. Carefully check the filter for holes or other damage. A broken or damaged filter must be re- placed. To remove dirt, carefully knock the filter several times against a hard surface or use compressed air from the back of the filter to blow-clean. Do not try to brush the filter clean as this forces dirt down into the fibres. A very dirty filter should be replaced. Clean the air filter after every 25 hours of use or once a season. More frequently if the engine is working on dusty ground. SPARK PLUG Never remove the spark plug or spark plug cable when checking to see if there is a spark. Always use an approved test instrument. Clean the spark plug regularly (every 100 hours of run time). Use a wire brush for cleaning. Change the spark plug if the electrodes are exces- sively burnt or if the plug is damaged. The engine manufacturers recommendations are as follows: Briggs & Stratton: Champion J19LM (RJ19LM), spark gap 0.76 mm. Honda GCV: NGK BPR6ES, Spark gap 0.7-0.8 mm.

44 ENGLISHGB BATTERY (*) The electrolyte in the battery is toxic and corrosive. It can cause serious cor- rosion damage etc. Avoid all contact with skin, eyes and clothing. In normal use during the season, the battery is charged by the engine. If the engine cannot be started with the ignition key, it may be because the battery is dead. Dismantle the battery by opening the battery cov- er, disconnecting the terminal on the engine and re- moving the battery (fig. 24). Connect the battery charger (provided) to the battery, then connect the charger to a wall socket and charge for 24 hours (fig. 25). After charging, the battery may be reinstalled and the terminal on the battery connected to the termi- nal on the motor (fig. 26). The battery charger may not be connected directly to the engine terminal. It is not possible to start the engine with the charger as the power source and the charger could be damaged. WINTER STORAGE Remove the battery and store it fully charged (see above) in a dry, cool place (between 0°C and +15°C). At least once during the winter storage pe- riod, the battery should be maintenance-charged. Before the start of the season, the battery should be charged once again for 24 hours. ADJUSTING CLUTCH CABLE (*) If the drive does not engage when the clutch loop is pressed against the handle, or if the lawnmower feels cumbersome or slow, this may be because the clutch in the transmission is slipping. To rectify this situation, adjust the clutch cable as follows: 1. When the clutch loop is released, it should be possible to push the mower without any resist- ance. If this is not the case, screw in the nipple T until the mower can be pushed (fig. 28).2. When the clutch loop is pressed in approx. 2 cm (posi- tion 1), there should be some resistance when pushing the lawnmower. With the clutch loop fully pressed in (position 2) it should not be possible to push the mower. Unscrew the nipple T until this position is achieved. ADJUSTING VARIATOR CABLE (*) If the speed difference between the settings in the variator control giving the fastest speed (position 3 and ) appears insignificant or nothing at all, the variator cable might need tightening (fig. 16). 1. Run the mower for a few minutes in position . 2. If the variator cable shows some play in nipple Y it needs tightening. Undo the locking nut X and tighten the cable by unscrewing the nipple Y until the cable ceases to show any play. 3. Tighten the locking nut X. NOTE! Do not stretch the cable beyond the point where there is no play in the nipple Y. If the cable is over-tightened, the drive belt could break and/or other parts of the transmission be damaged. When setting after e.g. belt change, always start with the nipple Y completely screwed in. CHANGING BLADES Wear protective gloves when changing blades to avoid cutting yourself. Check the blade system regularly. Check particularly the curved area behind the blade edge for traces of wear. If the blade shows traces of damage it should be re- placed. A worn blade creates imbalance and can damage the mower. Always check the blade(s) after a collision. First disconnect the spark plug cable. If the blade sys- tem has been damaged, defective parts should be replaced. Always use genuine spare parts. To replace the blade, undo the screw (fig. 29, 30). Fit the new blade so that the stamped logo is turned up facing the blade holder (not facing the grass). Reinstall as illustrated. Tighten the screw properly. Tightening torque 40 Nm.

45 ENGLISHGB When replacing the blade, the blade screw should also be replaced. The guarantee does not cover damage to the blade, blade holder or engine caused by running into ob- stacles. When replacing the blade, blade holder and blade screw, always use genuine spare parts. Non-genu- ine spare parts can entail a risk of injury or dam- age, even if they fit the machine. SHARPENING THE BLADES Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet method grinding, using a whetstone or a grind- stone. For safety reasons, the blades should not be sharp- ened on an emery wheel. A very high temperature could cause the blades to become brittle. Once the blade has been sharpened, it must then be balanced to avoid vibra- tion damage. STORAGE WINTER STORAGE Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it run until it stops. The same petrol must not remain in the tank for more than one month. Tip up the mower and unscrew the spark plug. Pour a tablespoon of engine oil into the spark plug hole. Pull out the starter handle slowly so that the oil is distributed in the cylinder. Screw in the spark plug. Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in a dry place. SERVICING Genuine spare parts are supplied by service work- shops and by many dealers. A list of these can be found on STIGA’s Internet website at: www.stiga.com.
