After Operation; Maintenance - Stiga SWR 2604 Operator's Manual

Snow
• Snow is removed more easily when it is
still fresh. Pass back over the already
cleared zones to remove snow residue.
• If possible, clear the snow in the direction
of the wind. Check the distance and
the direction of the removed snow.
• Reduce the engine rotations
before stopping it.
Dirt and gravel
• To reduce the amount of dust lifted
when sweeping, work at low brush
speed. If possible, also work on damp
or cloudy days or after it rains.
• For gravel, adjust the height of the brush to
nearly brush the gravel to avoid throwing
them and causing potential damages.
Heavy debris
• Reduce forward speed and work without
using the entire machine working width.

6.6 AFTER OPERATION

• Clean (par. 7.4).
• Move all the controls forward
and back a few times.
• Make sure the choke is engaged.
• Check there are no loose or damaged
components. If necessary, replace
the damaged components and tighten
any screws and loose bolts.
Do not cover the machine when the
engine and the exhaust are still warm.
