ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME

To keep the machine in good condition as regards
reliability, operational safety and attention to the
environment, always comply with the STIGA SpA
assistance programme.
Details on this programme's interventions are il-
lustrated in the attached STIGA SpA maintenance
manual.
The Basic Service must always be carried out by
an authorized service workshop.
The First Service and Intermediate Service should
be carried out by an authorized service workshop,
but can also be carried out by the user.
The procedures are indicated in the handbook and
are described in the chapter "7 START-UP AND
OPERATION" as well as here below.
The checks carried out by an authorized service
workshop guarantee professional workmanship
and the use of genuine spare parts.
The handbook is stamped every time a Basic Ser-
vice is performed and each time an Intermediate
Service is carried out by an authorized service
workshop. A handbook with these stamps increa-
ses the second-hand value of the machine.

Wipe around the dipstick. Unscrew it and
pull it out. Wipe the dipstick clean.
