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 RefuellingOnly use diesel which satisfies the minimum re-
quirements of the following specifications:
EN 590
BS 2869 A1 / A2
ASTM D 975 - 1D / 2D
The engine must not be run on rape die-
sel (RME). Contact the engine supplier 
for additional information.
1. Open the engine casing.
2. Open the fuel cap (9:X).
Filling fuel above the “Max” level in fig. 
9 results in fuel leakage and risk of fire.
3. Fill with diesel to the “Max” level in fig. 9. If 
filled above this level the fuel will leak out be-
cause it expands when heated.
4. Close the fuel cap.
Use winter fuel or add kerosene in ambient tem-
peratures below 0°C. See the table below:
Diesel is highly flammable. Always 
store fuel in containers that are made 
especially for this purpose. 
Only fill or top up with fuel outdoors, 
and never smoke when filling or top-
ping up. Fill with fuel before starting 
the engine.

4.2 BleedingThe engine’s fuel system must be bled in the fol-
lowing instances:
• If the fuel tank has been run dry and air has been 
drawn into the fuel system.
• After replacing the filter.
Bleed as follows:
1. Fill the tank with fuel.
2. Pump using the hand pump (10:Y) until all air 
has been pumped out.
4.3 Level check, engine oil
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 10W-
40 oil.
Always check the oil level before use to ensure it 
is correct. The machine should be standing on 
level ground.
Check the oil level as follows:
1. Wipe around the dipstick. 
2. Unscrew and pull the dipstick up. 
3. Wipe the dipstick. 
4. Slide the dipstick down completely and pull up 
again. 
5. Read off the oil level. The oil level should be at 
the “Max” mark as illustrated in fig. 11.
If the oil level is below the “Max” mark in fig. 11, 
fill with oil as follows:
1. Unscrew the oil filler cap (11:C).
2. Fill with the necessary amount of oil. Applica-
ble oil types, see “5.4”.
3. Check the level as above.
4. When the level is correct, reinstall the oil filler 
cap and tighten.
The oil level must never exceed the “Max” mark as 
illustrated in fig. 11. This can cause the engine to 
overheat. Drain the oil to the correct level if the oil 
level exceeds the “Max” mark.

5. 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 in use, always operate the engine at full 
throttle.
4.7 Power assisted steering (4WD)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.
4.8 Operating tipsAlways check that there is the correct volume of 
oil in the engine. This is particularly important 
when operating on slopes. See 4.3. 
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.
4.9 StopDisengage the power take-off. Apply the parking 
brake. 
If the machine is left unattended, re-
move the ignition key.
The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the 
cylinder or cooling fins. This can cause 
burn injuries.
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).
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 
motor by always stopping the motor 
and disconnecting the negative cable 
from the battery.

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 oilThe 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:
ACEA-B2-E2 or API-CF-CG or SHPD.
Select the oil grade according to the table below.
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 3-4 cm up the oil drain hose 
and pull out the plug.
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.
5.4.1 Oil filter
The oil filter must be cleaned after 1000 hours of 
operation and when changing the oil. First drain 
the engine oil and install the oil drain plug as 
above. Then clean the oil filter as follows:
1. Clean the area around the filter (13:A)
2. Slacken off the screw (13:B) 5 turns.
3. Pull out the oil filter.Never direct the flow of compressed air 
towards the body. The penetration of 
air into the blood stream can be fatal.
4. Clean the filter by blowing compressed air in 
and out of the filter. See fig. 14.
5. Check/replace the gasket (14:D).
6. Lubricate the gasket (14:D) and slide the filter 
in to its limit position.
7. Check that the ends of the tensioner spring 
(13:C) lie flush against the filter. Tighten the 
screws (13:B).
8. Continue with point 7 according to “5.4 Chang-
ing engine oil” above.
5.5 Engine screwsAll screwed joints on the engine must be check-
tightened after 25 hours of operation and then ev-
ery 250 hours of operation.
Exceptions:
• The cylinder head screws must not be touched.
• The fuel injection system’s adjustment screws, 
as illustrated in fig. 15, must not be touched.
5.6 Fuel filterThe fuel filter (10:E) must be replaced after every 
500 hours of operation. 
After replacing, the fuel system must be bled. See 
“4.2”.
Check that there is no fuel leakage once the new 
filter has been installed.
5.7 Cleaning the fuel tankDuring temperature changes water from the air 
will condense in the fuel tank. The amount of wa-
ter that condenses increases during large tempera-
ture changes and at high humidity. The water drops 
and settles at the bottom of the fuel tank.
Condensation should be drained from the fuel tank 
as necessary and at least once a year.
The engine must be cold when the con-
densation id drained, otherwise there is 
a risk of fire.
Smoking, fires, sparks and other heat 
sources are prohibited in the proximity 
when the condensation is drained. 
There is a fire risk.
Drain the condensation as follows:
1. Detach the drain hose from the its mounting un-
der the rear bumper. See fig. 16.
2. Turn the drain cock (16:F) in its mounting to fa-
cilitate opening.
3. Insert the drain hose into a suitable container.
4. Open the drain cock and drain until all the water 
has run out.
5. Close the drain cock and reset the cock and hose 
in reverse order. Ambient temperature Oil grade

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.
5.11 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.

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.
5.11.5 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.
5.12 Air filter, engineA damaged air filter allows contaminat-
ed air into the engine. This will cause se-
rious damage to the engine.
The air filter must be cleaned after every 50 hours 
of operation. The oil filter must be replaced as nec-
essary, or after every 500 hours of operation.
NOTE! Clean/replace the filter more often if the 
machine operates in dusty conditions.
Remove/install the air filters as follows.
1.  Disconnect the rear mounting for the right-hand 
splash guard (23:G). Fold the splash guard to 
one side.

Never direct the flow of compressed air 
towards the body. The penetration of 
air into the blood stream can be fatal.
5. Clean off any dry dirt on the filter by blowing 
compressed air in and out of the filter. The pres-
sure must not exceed 5 bar.
Check for cracks or other damage after clean-
ing. This can be visually checked against a light 
source. 
Check that the filter’s mating surfaces are free 
of faults.
If the filter is damaged, it must be replaced.
If the filter is contaminated by moisture/oily 
dirt, it must be replaced.
6. Assemble in reverse order.
Do not use compressed air or petroleum based sol-
vents such as kerosene to clean the paper filter in-
sert. This will damage the filter.
5.13 Air intakeSee 10:W. The engine is air-cooled. A blocked 
cooling system can damage the engine. Clean the 
engine’s air intake after 50 hours of operation. 
More meticulous cleaning of the cooling system is

par un système hydraulique. Le moteur actionne 
une pompe qui fait circuler de l’huile dans le dis-
positif d’entraînement des trains avant et arrière. 
Les trains avant et arrière sont connectés en série, 
ce qui signifie que les roues avant et arrières tour-
nent obligatoirement à la même vitesse. 
Pour faciliter les manœuvres, les deux essieux sont 
équipés d’un différentiel. 
Les accessoires montés à l’avant sont mus par les 
courroies d’entraînement.
2.2 DirectionLa machine est articulée. Cela signifie que le châs-
sis est divisé en deux sections, avant et arrière, qui 
pivotent l’une par rapport à l’autre.
Grâce au châssis articulé, la machine possède un 
rayon de braquage très faible qui lui permet de 
contourner arbres et obstacles.
2.3 Dispositifs de sécuritéLa machine est équipée d’une sécurité électrique 
qui interrompt certaines activités susceptibles de 
provoquer des manœuvres dangereuses. Par exem-
ple, le moteur ne démarre pas lorsque la pédale 
d’embrayage et de frein de stationnement est en-
foncée.
Contrôler le fonctionnement du disposi-
tif de sécurité avant chaque utilisation.

2.4.2 Dispositif hydraulique de levage des 
accessoires (4:M) (4WD)
Le dispositif hydraulique de levage ne 
fonctionne que lorsque le moteur tourne 
; il est commandé par le commutateur 
(4:M). 
Le commutateur se règle dans trois positions :
•Flottement. Enfoncer l’avant du commutateur. 
Il se bloque en position enfoncée et le dispositif 
de levage s’abaisse jusqu’à atteindre la position 
de flottement. 
Dans cette position, l’accessoire repose tou-
jours avec la même pression sur le sol pour en 
suivre les contours. 
La position de flottement est celle utilisée pour 
travailler. 
•Levage. Appuyer sur l’arrière du commutateur 
pour amener l’accessoire en position haute (po-
sition de transport). Relâcher ensuite le commu-
tateur pour bloquer l’accessoire en hauteur 
pendant les déplacements.
•Blocage en position de transport. Après 
l’opération de levage, le commutateur revient 
en position neutre. L’accessoire est bloqué en 
position de transport.
REMARQUE ! Le dispositif de levage hydrau-
lique doit être en position de flottement pour 
que la prise de force soit activée.
REMARQUE ! La prise de force ne peut être 
activée lorsque le frein de stationnement est ser-
ré.
2.4.3 Embrayage - frein de stationnement 
(3:B)
Ne jamais enfoncer cette pédale pen-
dant les déplacements pour éviter toute 
surchauffe des organes de transmission.
La pédale (3:B) se règle sur trois 
positions :
•Relâchée. Lembrayage nest pas activé. Le 
frein de stationnement nest pas activé.
• Enfoncée à moitié. La marche avant est désac-
tivée. Le frein de stationnement nest pas activé.
•Enfoncée . La marche avant est désactivée. Le 
frein de stationnement est tout à fait activé mais 
nest pas verrouillé.2.4.4 Inhibiteur, frein de stationnement 
(3:A)
Linhibiteur bloque la pédale « embraya-
ge-frein » en position enfoncée. Cette 
fonction permet de circuler sur des ter-
rains en pente, de transporter la machine, 
etc. lorsque le moteur est à l’arrêt.
Le frein de stationnement doit toujours 
être relâché pendant lutilisation de 
lengin.
Verrouillage :
1. Enfoncer à fond la pédale (3:B). 
2. Déplacer l’inhibiteur (3:A) vers la droite.
3. Relâcher la pédale (3:B).
4. Relâcher linhibiteur (3:A).
Déverrouillage :
Enfoncer et relâcher la pédale (3:B).
2.4.5 Conduite - frein de service (3:F)
La pédale (3:F) détermine le rapport de transmis-
sion entre le moteur et les roues motrices (= vites-
se). Le frein de service est activé lorsque la pédale 
est relâchée.
1. Pédale enfoncée vers lavant –
 la machine avance. 
2. Pas de pression sur la pédale – 
la machine reste immobile.
3. Pédale enfoncée vers larriè-
re– 
 la machine recule.
4. Pression réduite sur la pédale 
– la machine freine.
2.4.6 Volant (3:D)
La hauteur du volant est réglable en continu. Des-
serrer le bouton de réglage (3:E) situé sur la colon-
ne de direction et mettre le volant à la hauteur 
adéquate. Resserrer.
Ne pas modifier la hauteur du volant 
pendant le fonctionnement de la machi-
ne.
Ne jamais tourner le volant lorsque la 
machine est à l’arrêt avec un accessoire 
baissé pour éviter la surcharge des or-
ganes de direction assistée.
2.4.7 Réglage du régime (4, 5:G)
Levier de réglage du régime du moteur.
1. Plein régime – le mode plein régime 
doit toujours être enclenché lorsque la ma-
chine fonctionne. 
2. Ralenti.

2.4.9 Démarreur (4, 5:I)
Le blocage de l’allumage permet de démarrer et 
d’arrêter le moteur. Trois positions sont possibles :
1. Arrêt – le moteur est court-circuité. La 
clé peut être retirée.
2. Position en cours de fonctionnement
3. Démarrage – le démarreur électrique est 
activé lorsque la clé est tournée à fond 
dans la position de démarrage. Lorsque le 
moteur tourne, la clé revient en position de 
marche 2 grâce à un dispositif à ressort.
REMARQUE ! Si le moteur s’arrête, pour quel-
que raison que ce soit, un dispositif mécanique 
de verrouillage de l’allumage empêche de tour-
ner la clé directement en position 3. Pour dé-
marrer, ramener la clé en position 1, puis 2 et 3.
