9 MAINTENANCE
9.1
SERVICE PROGRAM
To always keep the machine in good condition as
regards reliability, operating safety and attention
to the environment, always follow the STIGA SpA
service program.
The intervention points of this program are illus-
trated in the attached STIGA SpA maintenance
manual.
The Basic Check must always be carried out by
an authorised workshop.
The First check and Intermediate check should
be carried out by an authorised workshop, but
can also be carried out by the user.
The procedures are reported in the manual and
are described in the chapter "7 STARTING AND
DRIVING", as well as below.
The checks carried out by an authorised work-
shop guarantee professional work and original
spare parts.
The booklet is stamped at each Basic check and
at each Intermediate check carried out by an au-
thorised workshop. A booklet with these stamps
increases the value of second-hand machines.
9.2
PREPARATION
All maintenance and control inter-
ventions must be performed with the
machine stationary and the engine
switched off.
Always apply the parking brake to pre-
vent the machine from moving.
Stop the engine.
Avoid accidental engine starts by dis-
connecting the spark plug cables and
removing the ignition key.
