4.10 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.
Clean the machine after each use. The following
instructions apply for cleaning:
• When washing the machine with water under
high pressure, do not point the jet directly at
axle seals, electrical components or hydraulic
valves.
• Do not spray water directly at the engine.
• Clean the engine with a brush and/or com-
pressed air.
• Clean the engine's cooling air intake (10:W).

5 MAINTENANCE

5.1 Service programme
In order to keep the machine in good condition as
regards reliability and operational safety as well as
from an environmental perspective, STIGA's Ser-
vice programme should be followed.
The contents of this programme can be found in
the attached service log.
Basic service must always be carried out by an au-
thorised workshop.
First service and intermediate service should be
carried out by an authorised workshop, but can
also be carried out by the user. The content of this
can be found in the service log and the actions are
described under "4 STARTING AND OPERA-
TION" as well as below.
Servicing carried out at an authorised workshop
guarantees professional work using genuine spare
parts.
At each basic service and intermediate service car-
ried out at an authorised workshop, the service log
is stamped. A service log presenting these services
is a valuable document that improves the ma-
chine's second-hand value.
5.2 Preparation
All service and all maintenance must be carried out
on a stationary machine with the engine switched
off.
Prevent the machine from rolling by al-
ways applying the parking brake.
Stop the engine.

ENGLISH
Prevent unintentional starting of the
motor by always stopping the motor
and disconnecting the negative cable
from the battery.
5.3 Tyre pressure
Adjust the air pressure in the tyres as follows:
Front: 0.6 bar (9 psi).
Rear: 0.4 bar (6 psi).

5.4 Changing engine oil

The engine oil must be changed for the first time
after 25 hours of operation and then every 250
hours of operation.
Use the following oil specifications:
ACEA-B2-E2 or API-CF-CG or SHPD.
Select the oil grade according to the table below.
Ambient temperature
-24°C - +45°C.
-30°C - +45°C.
Use oil without any additives.
Do not overfill with oil. This can cause the engine
to overheat.
Change oil when the engine is warm.
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. Push the drain hose down so that it comes out
under the engine. See fig. 12
2. Tighten the clamp on the oil drain hose. Use a
polygrip or similar.
3. Move the clamp 3-4 cm up the oil drain hose
and pull out the plug.
4. Collect the oil in a container.
NOTE! Do not spill any oil on the drive belts.
5. Dispose of the oil according to local regula-
tions.
6. Install the oil drain plug and slide the clamp
back so that it clamps over the plug.
7. To clean the oil filter, see 5.4.1 below before
continuing.
8. Remove the filler cap (11:C) and fill with oil.
The engine has a capacity of around 1.7 litres.
9. After filling the oil, start the engine and run at
idle speed for 30 seconds.
10.Check to see if there is any oil leakage.
11.Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds and then
check the oil level. See 4.3. Top up the oil if
necessary.
