2 DESCRIPTION
2.1 DriveThe machine has 4-wheel drive. The power from 
the engine to the drive wheels is transferred hy-
draulically. The engine drives an oil pump, which 
pumps oil through the rear and front axle drives. 
The front axle and rear axle are connected in se-
ries, which means that the front wheels and rear 
wheels are forced to rotate at the same speed. 
To make turning easier, both axles are equipped 
with differential. 
Front-mounted implements are powered via drive 
belts.
2.2 SteeringThe machine is articulated. This means that the 
chassis is divided into a front and a rear section, 
which can be turned in relation to each other.
The articulated steering means that the machine 
can turn around trees and other obstacles with an 
extremely small turning radius.
2.3 Safety systemThe machine is equipped with an electrical safety 
system. The safety system interrupts certain activ-
ities that can entail a danger of incorrect manoeu-
vres. For example, the engine cannot be started if 
the clutch-parking brake pedal is depressed.
The operation of the safety system must 
always be checked every time before 
use.
2.4 Controls
2.4.1 Implement lifter, hydraulic (2:M)
The hydraulic implement lifter only 
works when the engine is running, and is 
controlled with the switch (2:M). 
The switch has the following three positions:
•Floating position. Press the front part of the 
switch. The switch locks in the pressed position 
and the implement is lowered until it reaches its 
floating position. 
Floating position means that the implement al-
ways rests with the same pressure against the 
ground and can follow the ground’s contours. 
Floating position should be used when working. 
•Lifting. Press the rear part of the switch until 
the implement is in its highest position (trans-
port position). Then release the switch and the 
height is locked in transport position.
•Locking in transport position. The switch has 
reverted to neutral position after lifting. The im-
plement is locked in transport position. 
						

							53
ENGLISHEN
NOTE! The hydraulic implement lifter must be 
in floating position in order for the power take-
off to be engaged.
NOTE! The power take-off cannot be engaged 
when the parking brake is activated.

NOTE! This machine is not intended to be driven 
on public roads.
4 STARTING AND OPERATION
The machine may not be operated un-
less the engine casing is closed and 
locked. Risk of burns and crushing in-
juries.
4.1 Filling with petrolAlways use lead-free petrol. You must never use 2-
stroke petrol mixed with oil.
The tank holds 14 litres. The level can easily be 
read through the transparent tank.
NOTE! Ordinary lead-free petrol is a perishable 
and must not be stored for more than 30 days.
Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate 
petrol. This type of petrol has a composition that is 
less harmful for people and nature.
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always 
store fuel in containers that are made 
especially for this purpose. 
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors, 
and never smoke when filling or top-
ping up. Fill up with fuel before starting 
the engine. Never remove the filler cap 
or fill with petrol while the engine is 
running or still warm.
Never completely fill the petrol tank. Leave an 
empty space (= at least the entire filler tube plus 1 
- 2 cm at the top of the tank) to allow the petrol to 
expand when it warms up without overflowing. 
See fig. 7.
4.2 Checking the engine oil level
Check the oil level every time before using to 
ensure it is correct. The machine should be 
standing on level ground.
Wipe clean around the oil dipstick. 
Unscrew and pull it up. Wipe off the 
dipstick. Slide it down completely without 
tightening it. 
Pull it up again and read off the oil level.  Top up 
with oil to the “UPPER” mark, if the oil level is 
below it (fig. 8).
The oil level must never exceed the “UPPER” 
mark. This results in the engine overheating. If the 
oil level exceeds the “UPPER” mark, the oil must 
be drained until the correct level is achieved.
4.3 Safety checksCheck that the results of the safety checks below 
are achieved when testing the machine in question.
The safety checks must always be car-
ried out every time before use.
If any of the results below is not 
achieved, the machine must not be 
used! Take the machine to a service 
workshop for repair.

ENGLISHEN
4.4 Start1.  Open the fuel cock. See 10.
2.  Check that the spark plug cable(s) is/are in-
stalled on the spark plug(s).
3.  Check to make sure that the power take-off is 
disengaged. 
4.  Do not keep your foot on the drive pedal. 
5. Put the throttle control at full throttle. 
Starting cold engine – pull the choke control out 
fully. 
Starting warm engine – the choke control 
should be pressed in.
6.  Depress the clutch-brake pedal fully.
7.  Turn the ignition key and start the engine.
8 Once the engine has started, push the choke 
control in gradually if it has been used. 
9. When starting from cold, do not make the ma-
chine work under load immediately, but let the 
engine run for a few minutes first. This will al-
low the oil to warm up. 
When the machine is in operation, full throttle 
should always be used.
4.5 Power assisted steering Power assisted steering means that power from the 
machine’s hydraulic system is supplied to the 
steering wheel movements. This makes the ma-
chine very easy to steer when the engine is operat-
ing at working revs (full throttle). 
The servo effect is reduced as the engine speed 
drops.
4.6 Operating tipsAlways check that there is the correct volume of 
oil in the engine. This is particularly important 
when operating on slopes. See 4.2. 
Be careful when driving on slopes. No 
sudden starting or stopping when driv-
ing up or down a slope. Never drive 
across a slope. Move from the top down 
or from the bottom to the top. 
The machine may not be driven on 
slopes greater than 10º in any direction.Reduce the speed on slopes and when 
making sharp turns in order to retain 
control and reduce the risk of tipping 
over.
Do not turn the steering wheel to full 
lock when driving in top gear and at full 
throttle. The machine can easily topple 
over.
Keep hands and fingers well away from 
articulated steering joint and seat 
bracket. Risk of crushing injuries. Nev-
er drive with the engine casing open.
4.7 StopDisengage the power take-off. Apply the parking 
brake. 
Allow the engine to idle 1-2 mins. Stop the engine 
by turning off the ignition key.
Shut off the petrol cock. This is particularly impor-
tant if the machine is to be transported on a trailer 
for example.
If the machine is left unattended, re-
move the spark plug cable(s) and re-
move the ignition key.
The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the 
silencer, cylinder or cooling fins. This 
can cause burn injuries.
4.8 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 (8:W). Cruise control acti-
vated.The clutch-brake 
pedal is depressed.The cruise 
control will

5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 Service programmeIn 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 second-hand value.
5.2 PreparationAll 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 
engine by disconnecting the spark plug 
cable(s) from the spark plug(s) and re-
moving the ignition key. 
5.3 Tyre pressureAdjust the air pressure in the tyres as follows:
Front: 0.6 bar (9 psi).
Rear: 0.4 bar (6 psi). 
5.4 Changing engine oilChange the oil for the first time after 20 hours of 
operation (or during the first month), and then after 
every 100 hours of operation or once every 6 
months. 
Use synthetic oil of service grade SJ or higher in 
accordance with the table below.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. 11:Z.
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. If the oil filter is to be replaced, see 5.5 below 
before continuing.
7.  Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil.

wheel is level with the other wheels.
3. Moisten the new filter’s gasket with oil and in-
stall the filter. See fig. 16:A.
4. Fill the oil reservoir with the new oil.
5. Check that the clutch release lever (4:R) is in 
the outer position (drive position).
If the engine is to be run indoors, an ex-
haust extraction device must be con-
nected to the engine’s exhaust pipe.
6. Prepare a suitable vessel with the new oil.
NOTE! The oil is sucked into the system very 
quickly. The reservoir must always be kept 
topped up. Under no circumstances may air 
be sucked in.
7. Fill the oil reservoir with new oil.
8. Start the engine and allow it to idle. Gradually 
top up the oil in the reservoir so that the level 
constantly reaches the mark.
9. Reinstall the oil filler cap and close the engine 
casing.
10.Reset the drive shafts’ valves in accordance 
with fig. 18.
11.Drive the machine 8-10 metres forwards and 8-
10 metres backwards. If the machine has hy-
draulic power assisted steering, apply full steer-
ing lock at the same time.
12.If the machine has a hydraulic implement lifter, 
raise and lower the lifter 3-4 times.
13.Adjust the oil level in the reservoir.
5.8 Belt transmissionsAfter 5 hours of operation, check that all the belts 
are intact and undamaged.
5.9 SteeringThe steering must be checked/adjusted after 5 
hours of operation and thereafter after 100 hours of 
operation.

5.9.2 Adjustment
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. 19.
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.
5.10 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.
The battery must be fully charged be-
fore being used for the first time. The 
battery must always be stored fully 
charged. If the battery is stored while 
discharged, serious damage will occur. 
5.10.1 Charging with the engine
The battery can be charged using the engine’s gen-
erator as follows:
1. Install the battery in the machine as shown be-
low.
2. Place the machine outdoors or install an extrac-
tion device for the exhaust fumes.
3. Start the engine according to the instructions in 
the user guide.
4. Allow the engine to run continuously for 45 
minutes.
5. Stop the engine. The battery will now be fully 
charged.
5.10.2 Charging using battery charger
When charging using a battery charger, a battery 
charger with constant voltage must be used.
Contact your dealer to purchase a battery charger 
with constant voltage.
The battery can be damaged if a standard type 
battery charger is used. 5.10.3 Removal/Installation
The battery is placed under the tank. To access the 
battery, first dismantle the fuel tank as follows:
1. Open the engine casing.
2. Close the fuel cock, see 10.
3. Unscrew the two wing nuts (16:B) and remove 
the clamps.
4. Carefully lift up the petrol tank.
During removal/installation of the battery, the fol-
lowing applies regarding connection of the cables:
• During removal. First disconnect the black ca-
ble from the battery’s negative terminal (-). 
Then disconnect the red cable from the battery’s 
positive terminal (-).
• During installation. First connect the red cable 
to the battery’s positive terminal (+). Then con-
nect the black cable to the battery’s negative ter-
minal (-).
If the cables are disconnected/connect-
ed in the wrong order, there is a risk of 
a short-circuit and damage to the bat-
tery.
If the cables are interchanged, the gen-
erator and the battery will be damaged.
The engine must never be driven with 
the battery disconnected. There is a risk 
of serious damage to the generator and 
the electrical system.
When the battery has been rectified, install the fuel 
tank as follows:
Check that the petrol hose is not 
clamped against the hydraulic pump 
and does not come into contact with 
this. The hydraulic pump becomes very 
hot during operation. Risk of fire.
1. Place the petrol tank on the brackets. Check that 
the petrol hose is not touching the hydraulic 
pump.
2. Install the clamps and tighten the wing nuts 
(16:B).
5.10.4 Cleaning
If the battery terminals are coated with oxide, they 
should be cleaned. Clean the battery terminals with 
a wire brush and lubricate them with terminal 
grease.
5.11 Air filter, engineClean the air filter every 3 months or after every 50 
hours of operation, whichever comes first.
Clean the paper filter insert once a year or after 
every 200 hours of operation, whichever comes 
first.
Note! Both filters should be cleaned more often if 
the machine operates on dusty ground.
