You must read these instructions for use and the accompanying pamphlet “SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” careful- ly, before starting up the machine. 1.1 SYMBOLSThe following symbols appear on the machine. They are there to remind you of the care and atten- tion required during use and maintenance. This is what the symbols mean: Warning! Read the instruction manual and the safety manual before using the machine. Warning! Watch out for discarded objects. Keep on- lookers away. Warning! Always wear hearing protectors. Warning! This machine is not designed to be driven on public roads. Warning! The machine, equipped with original ac- cessories, must not be driven in any direc- tion on slopes with a gradient greater than 10º. Warning! Risk of crushing injuries. Keep hands and feet well away from the articulated steer- ing joint. Warning! Risk of burn injuries. Do not touch the si- lencer/catalytic converter. 1.2 References 1.2.1 Figures The figures in these instructions for use are num- bered 1, 2, 3, etc. Components shown in the figures are marked A, B, C, etc. A reference to component C in figure 2 is written “2:C”. 1.2.2 Headings The headings in these instructions for use are num- bered in accordance with the following example: “1.3.1 General safety check” is a subheading to “1.3 Safety checks” and is included under this heading. When referring to headings, only the number of the heading is normally specified. E.g. “See 1.3.1”. 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. 2.4.2 Clutch-parking brake (1:B) Never press the pedal while driving. There is a risk of overheating in the power transmission. The pedal (1:B) has the follow- ing three positions: •Released. The clutch is not activated. The park- ing brake is not activated. •Depressed halfway. Forward drive disengaged. The parking brake is not activated. •Pressed down. Forward drive disengaged. The parking brake is fully activated but not locked. • 2.4.3 Inhibitor, parking brake (1:A) The inhibitor locks the “clutch-brake” pedal in the depressed position. This func- tion is used to lock the machine on slopes, during transport, etc., when the engine is not running. The parking brake must always be re- leased during operation. Locking: 1. Depress the pedal (1:B) fully. 2. Move the inhibitor (1:A) to the right. 3. Release the pedal (1:B). 4. Release the inhibitor (1:A). Unlocking: Press and release the pedal (1:B). 2.4.4 Driving-service brake (1:F) The pedal (1:F) determines the gearing ratio be- tween the engine and the drive wheels (= the speed). When the pedal is released, the service brake is activated. 1. Press the pedal forward – the machine moves forward. 2. No load on the pedal – the ma- chine is stationary. 3. Press the pedal backward – the machine reverses. 4. Reduce the pressure on the pedal – the machine brakes.2.4.5 Steering wheel (1:D) The height of the steering wheel is infinitely ad- justable. Undo the adjustment knob (1:E) on the steering column and raise or lower the steering wheel to the desired position. Tighten. Do not adjust the steering wheel during operation. Never turn the steering wheel when the machine is stationary with a lowered implement. There is a risk of abnormal loads on the servo and steering mecha- nisms. 2.4.6 Throttle control (2:G) Control for setting the engine’s revs. 1. Full throttle – when the machine is in operation, full throttle should always be used. 2. Idling. 2.4.7 Choke control (2:H) A pull-type control to choke the engine when start- ing from cold. 1. Control fully pulled out – choke valve in carburettor closed. For starting cold en- gine. 2. Control pushed in – choke valve open. For start- ing warm engine and when operating the machine. Never operate the machine with the choke pulled out when the engine is warm. 2.4.8 Ignition lock/headlight (2:I) The ignition lock is used for starting and stopping the engine. The ignition lock is also the switch for the headlight. Do not leave the machine with the key in position 2 or 3. There is a fire risk, fuel can run into the engine through the carburettor, and there is a risk of the battery being discharged and damaged. Four positions: 1. Stop position – the engine is short-cir- cuited. The key can be removed. 2. Operating position – headlight activat- ed. 3. Operating position – headlight not acti- vated. 4. Start position – the electric start motor is activated when the key is turned to the spring-loaded start position. Once the en- gine has started, let the key return to oper- ating position 3. Turn the key to position 2 to light the headlight.

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. 4.3.1 General safety check 4.3.2 Electrical safety check The operation of the safety system should always be checked every time before use.

56 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 be disen- gaged. The switch for the implement lifter is in neutral position.Try to engage the power take-off.It will not be possible to engage the power take- off.

57 ENGLISHEN 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. Oil volume: Without filter replacement:approx. 0.9 litres With filter replacement:approx. 1.05 litres 8. After filling up the oil, start the engine and idle for 30 seconds. 9. Check to see if there is any oil leakage. 10.Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds and then check the oil level in accordance with 4.2. 5.5 Changing oil filter (11:Y)The oil filter must be replaced after 100 hours of operation or once every 6 months. First drain the engine oil and install the oil drain- age plug as described above. Then replace the oil filter as follows: 1. Clean the area around the filter and dismantle the filter. 2. Moisten the new filter’s gasket with oil. 6. Install the filter. First screw in the filter so that the gasket comes into contact with the engine. Then screw in the filter a further 7/8 turn. 7.

58 ENGLISHEN 5.7 Transmission, oil filterThe oil and the filter in the hydraulic power trans- mission must be checked/adjusted or replaced at intervals according to the table below. Oil type: Synthetic oil 5W-50. Oil volume at change: approx. 4.2 litres. 5.7.1 Check – adjustment 1. Place the machine on a flat surface. 2. Read off the oil level in the reservoir. See fig. 12. The level should be level with the line. 3. If necessary, top up with more oil. 5.7.2 Draining 1. Operate the machine at varying speeds for 10- 20 minutes in order to warm up the transmission oil. 2. Drive the machine up onto a block or similar so that the right rear wheel is raised approximately 10 cm above the left rear wheel. See fig. 13. Otherwise the machine should be on a level sur- face. This measure allows the oil to run out of the reservoir more easily. 3. Open the drive shafts’ valves in accordance with fig. 14. 4. Place one collection trough under the rear axle and one under the front axle. 5. Remove 2 drainage plugs from each axle. Use a 12 mm socket wrench. See fig. 15. 6. Remove the filler cap from the oil tank. 7. Clean the area around the hydraulic circuit’s fil- ter and dismantle the filter. See fig. 16:A. 8. Allow all the oil to run out into the collection trough. 9. Hand in the oil for disposal in accordance with local provisions. 5.7.3 Cleaning tank filter 1. Press the filter casing (17:F)down into the up- per section of the tank and move the casing for- wards to the hole. 2. Pull up the filter casing together with filter and spring. 3. Pull the filter (17:G) out of the casing. 4. Clean the filter with a suitable solvent and com- pressed air.5. Check that the rubber gasket (17:H) in the bot- tom of the filter is intact. 6. Reinstall the filter and spring in the casing. In- sert the filter until it snaps into position in the casing. 7. Reinstall the unit in the tank. The upper part of the filter casing must snap into position in the slot in the upper section of the tank. 5.7.4 Filling 1. Check that the gaskets on the 4 drainage plugs are intact. See fig. 15. Reinstall the plugs. Tight- ening torque: 15-17 Nm. 2. Roll the machine down so that the right rear 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.
