STARTING AND OPERATION
ENGINE CASING
To fill with fuel and to inspect and maintain the en-
gine and battery, open the engine casing. The en-
gine must not be running when the casing is 
opened. 
Opening:
1. Raise the seat lock (fig. 4) and fold the seat for-
wards.
2. Pull up the rubber strap at the front edge of the 
casing (fig. 5).
3. Grasp the front edge of the engine casing and 
fold up the casing (fig. 6).
Closing:
1. Grasp the front edge of the engine casing and 
fold down the casing (fig. 6).
2. Secure the front edge of the casing with the rub-
ber strap (fig. 5).The machine may not be operated un-
less the engine casing is folded down. 
Risk of burns and crushing injuries.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
Open the engine casing as above. Unscrew the fill-
er cap and fill with clean, lead-free petrol. You 
must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed with oil (fig. 
7).
NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-free petrol 
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than 
can be used within thirty days.
Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate pet-
rol. 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 2-3 cm at the top of the 
tank) to allow the petrol to expand when it warms 
up without overflowing.
CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 30 
oil.
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. Un-
screw and pull it up. Wipe off the dipstick. 
Slide it down completely and tighten it. 
Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read off the 
oil level. Top up with oil to the “FULL” mark, if 
the level comes below it (fig. 8).
CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION 
OIL LEVEL
(Compact HST)
The transmission is filled with SAE 10W-40 oil 
when the machine is delivered from the factory,
Check the oil level every time before using to  
						

							44
ENGLISHGB
ensure it is correct. The machine should be 
standing on level ground.
Read off the oil level in the reservoir (fig. 9). It 
should be between the MAX and MIN marks. If 
necessary, top up with more oil. Use oil SAE 10W-
40 (20W-50).
SAFETY SYSTEM
This machine is equipped with a safety system that 
consists of: 
- a switch on the transmission (only Compact).
- a switch on the break pedal (only 
Compact HST). 
- a switch in the seat/seat bracket.
- a switch at the power take-off engagement le-
ver. 
In order to start the machine, the following are nec-
essary: 
- gear lever in neutral (only Compact).
- the break pedal depressed (only 
Compact HST). 
- driver sitting on seat. 
- power take-off disengaged.
Always check the operation of the safe-
ty system before using the machine!
With the engine running and the driver sitting on 
the seat, check as follows: 
- select a gear, lift your weight off the seat – the 
engine must stop (only Compact). 
- press the drive pedal so that the machine starts 
to move, release the drive pedal – the machine 
should stop (only Compact HST). 
- engage the power take-off, lift your weight off 
the seat – the engine should stop. 
Do not use the machine if the safety sys-
tem is not working! Take the machine 
to a service workshop for inspection! 
STARTING ENGINE
1. Open the fuel cock (fig. 7).
2. Make sure that the spark plug cable is properly 
in place.
3. Check to make sure that the power take-off is 
disengaged. 
4a. Compact: Put the gear lever in neutral. 
4b. Compact HST: Do not keep your foot on the 
drive pedal. 5. Starting cold engine – put the throttle control in 
the choke position. Starting warm engine – put the 
throttle control at full throttle (approx. 1 cm behind 
the choke position).
6. Depress the brake pedal fully.
7. Turn the ignition key and start the engine.
8. Once the engine has started, move the throttle 
control gradually to full throttle if the choke has 
been used. 
9. When starting from cold, do not make the ma-
chine work under load immediately, but let the en-
gine run for a few minutes first. This will allow the 
oil to warm up. 
When in use, always operate the engine at full 
throttle.
STOPPING
Disengage the power take-off. Apply the parking 
brake. 
Allow the engine to idle 1 - 2 mins. Stop the engine 
by turning off the starter 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 from the 
spark plug. Also remove the starter 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.
DRIVING TIPS
Make sure that there is the correct quantity of oil in 
the engine when driving on slopes (oil level on 
“FULL”). 
Be careful when driving on slopes. No 
sudden starting or stopping when mov-
ing up or down a slope. Never drive 
across a slope. Move from the top down, 
and from the bottom to the top. 
The machine, equipped with original 
accessories, may not be driven on slopes 
greater than 10º in any direction. 
						

							45
ENGLISHGB
Reduce the speed on slopes and when 
making sharp turns to prevent the ma-
chine from tipping over or you losing 
control of the machine.
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 operate the machine without the en-
gine casing.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
SERVICE PROGRAM
In order to keep the machine in good condition, as 
regards reliability and operational safety as well as 
from an environmental perspective, STIGA’s serv-
ice program should be followed.
The contents of this program can be found in the 
attached service log.
We recommend that all service work is carried out 
by an authorised workshop. This guarantees that 
the work is performed by trained personnel and 
with genuine spare parts.
At every service, the service log should be 
stamped. A “fully stamped” service log is a valua-
ble document that improves the machine’s second-
hand value.
PREPARATIONS
Unless otherwise stated, all service and mainte-
nance must be carried out on a stationary machine 
when the engine is not running.
Prevent the machine from rolling by al-
ways applying the parking brake.
Prevent unintentional starting of the 
motor by disengaging the drive, shut-
ting off the engine and disconnecting 
the spark plug cable or removing the 
starter key. 
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. 
When washing the machine with water under high 
pressure, do not point the jet directly at the trans-
mission.
Do not point jets of water directly at the engine. 
Use a brush or compressed air in order to clean it.
ENGINE OIL
Change engine oil the first time after 5 hours of op-
eration, and subsequently after every 50 hours of 
operation or once a season. Change oil when the 
engine is warm.
Always use a good grade of oil (service grade SF, 
SG or SH).
Change the oil more often (after 25 hours of oper-
ation or at least once a season) if the engine has to 
operate under demanding conditions or if the am-
bient temperature is high.
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. Oil drain pipe (metal fig. 7):
Unscrew the oil drain plug at the end of the pipe. 
Collect the oil in a collection vessel. Then take 
the oil to a recycling station. Do not allow oil to 
get on the V-belts.
2. Screw in the oil drain plug. Make sure that the 
fibre gasket and the O-ring inside the plug are not 
damaged and that they are in the correct place.
3. Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil.
Oil capacity: 1.4 litres
Oil type, summer (> 4ºC): SAE-30
(SAE 10W-30 can also be used. However, oil con-
sumption may increase somewhat if 10W-30 is 
used. Therefore, check the oil level more regularly 
if you use this type of oil).
Oil type, winter (< 4ºC): SAE 5W-30 
(if this oil is not available, use SAE 10W-30).
Use oil without any additives. 
						

							46
ENGLISHGB
Do not fill with too much oil. This can cause the 
engine to overheat. 
After filling up the oil, start the engine and idle for 
30 seconds. Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds 
and then check the oil level. 
Check to see if there is any oil leakage. If neces-
sary, fill up the oil up to the “FULL” mark.
AIR FILTER - ENGINE
Change the pre-filter once a year or every 25 hours 
of operation.
Clean the paper filter insert once a year or after 
every 100 hours of operation, whichever comes 
first.
NOTE! Both filters should be replaced/cleaned 
more often if the machine operates on dusty 
ground.
1. Remove the protective cover on the air filter 
(fig. 10). 
2. Dismantle the paper filter insert and the foam 
pre-filter. Make sure that no dirt gets into the car-
burettor. Clean the air filter housing.
3. Replace the pre-filter.
4. Clean the paper filter insert as follows: Knock it 
lightly against a flat surface. If the filter is very 
dirty, change it.
5. Assemble in the reverse order.
Petroleum-based solvents such as kerosene may 
not be used for cleaning the paper filter insert. 
These solvents can destroy the filter.
Do not use compressed air for cleaning the paper 
filter insert. The paper filter insert must not be 
oiled. 
SPARK PLUG
Clean the spark plug after every 100 hours of oper-
ation or once a season. For replacing a spark plug, 
a spark plug sleeve A and a torsion pin B are pro-
vided in the accessories bag.
The engine manufacturer recommends:
Champion RC12YC.
Correct spark gap: 0.7 - 0.8 mm (fig. 11).
COOLING AIR INTAKE - ENGINE
The engine is air-cooled. A blocked cooling sys-
tem can damage the engine. The engine should be cleaned at least once a year or every 100 hours of 
operation.
Remove the fan casing. Clean the cooling fins on 
the cylinder, the fan and the rotating protective 
grille. Clean more frequently if mowing dry grass. 
BATTERY
The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V 
nominal voltage. The battery is completely main-
tenance free. You don’t have to check or top up the 
electrolyte level (fig. 12).
On delivery, the battery is in the accessories box.
The battery must be fully charged be-
fore being used for the first time. The 
battery should always be stored fully 
charged. If the battery is stored while 
totally flat it could sustain permanent 
damage. 
If the machine is not going to be used for an ex-
tended period (more than 1 month), the battery 
should be charged, disconnected and then stored in 
a cool, safe place. Charge the battery completely 
before reinstalling.
The battery can be charged in two ways:
1. Via a battery charger (recommended). This must 
be a charger with constant voltage. The battery 
can be damaged if a standard type battery 
charger (for acid batteries) is used. 
Stiga recommends battery charger with item no. 
1136-0602-01 which may be ordered by an au-
thorised dealer.
2. You can also allow the engine to charge the bat-
tery. In this case it is very important, above all 
when starting the machine for the first time and 
when it has not been used for a long time, to al-
low the engine to run continuously for at least 
45 minutes.
Do not short circuit the battery’s termi-
nals. Sparks occur which can result in 
fire. Do not wear metal jewellery which 
can come into contact with the battery 
terminals.
In the event of damage to the battery casing, 
cover, terminals or interference to the strip cov-
ering the valves, the battery should be replaced.
If the battery terminals are coated with oxide, they 
should be cleaned. Clean the battery terminals with 
a wire brush and grease them. 
						

							47
ENGLISHGB
LUBRICATION
The machine’s articulated steering joint has four 
grease nipples that should be lubricated with uni-
versal grease after every 25 hours of operation (fig. 
13). 
Note: The fourth grease nipple is not shown on the 
picture. It is located on the underside, on the flexi-
ble axle’s front bearing.
Lubricate the steering chain with chain spray a 
couple of times each season.
The front wheel hub has grease nipples that should 
be lubricated after every 50 hours of operation.
Apply universal grease to all the plastic bearings a 
couple of times per season. 
Apply a coating of engine oil to the tension arm 
joints a couple of times each season.
Apply a few drops of engine oil to both ends of the 
throttle control cables a couple of times a season.
Compact HST:
The hydrostatic transmission is filled with oil 
(10W-40) on delivery from the factory. Unless it is 
opened (only to be performed by a specialist), and 
provided no leakage occurs, no topping up with oil 
should normally be carried out. Transmission oil 
does not normally need to be changed.
STEERING CABLES
The steering cables should be adjusted for the first 
time after the machine has been in operation for 2 
- 3 hours, and then after every 25 hours of opera-
tion.
Put the machine in the straight-ahead position.
Tension the steering cables by tightening the nuts 
that are located on the underside of the articulated 
steering joint (fig. 14). The screws in the ends of 
the cables should be held firmly during adjustment 
so that the cables are not twisted. Use an adjustable 
wrench or similar for this purpose, inserting it in 
the key handles in the ends of the screws. Tension 
until all play is removed.
Adjust both the nuts the same amount to ensure 
that the alignment of the steering wheel is not 
changed. 
Once the adjustment is complete, turn the steering 
wheel as far as it will go in either direction. Check 
that the chain does not come into contact with the 
pulley, and that the cables do not become entan-gled with the steering pinions. 
Do not tension the steering cables too hard. Other-
wise the steering will be heavy and wear and tear 
on the cables will increase.
