STEERING AID (Pro20)
Built-in function in order to facilitate steering. The
operator only has to turn the steering wheel gently.
A hydraulic torque amplifier creates the remaining
force.
As opposed to normal servo steering (e.g. in a car),
the steering aid has a limited capacity. This means
that it has some characteristics that might be
considered negative:
- at a low engine rpm or in situations where extra
steering force is needed, steering can be
considered to be "jumpy".
- the machine should always be moving when the
steering is used. Avoid turning the steering
wheel when the machine is standing completely
still and the accessory is in the lowered working
position.
The steering is adapted in order to produce better
results at a normal working speed. This produces
major benefits.
Even when the engine is not running, the steering
works. However, it is harder to turn in this case, if
the machine is to be manoeuvred manually.
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
moving 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.
Reduce the speed on slopes and when
making sharp turns to prevent the
machine 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.
Never operate the machine without the
engine 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
service program should be followed.
The contents of this program can be found in the
attached service log.
We recommend that an authorised workshop
carries out every service. 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
valuable document that improves the machine's
second-hand value.
PREPARATIONS
Unless otherwise stated, all service and
maintenance must be carried out on a stationary
machine when the engine is not running.
Prevent the machine from rolling by
always applying the parking brake.
Prevent unintentional starting of the
engine by always stopping the engine,
disconnecting the spark plug cable
from the spark plug and earthing it.
Disconnect the negative cable from the
battery.
CLEANING
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the
engine, silencer/catalytic converter,
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 transmission.
Do not point jets of water directly at the engine.
Use a brush or compressed air in order to clean it.
ENGINE OIL
(President - Comfort - Pro16 - Pro20
- Excellent)
Change the oil for the first time after 5 hours
running, and then after every 50 hours running or
once a season. Change oil when the engine is
warm.
Always use a good grade of synthetic oil (service
grade SF, SG or SH).
