Transportation And Handling - Stiga SV 213 E Operator's Manual

3) WARNING: DANGER! Moisture and electricity are not
compatible:
– always handle and connect electric cables in dry con-
ditions;
– never allow electric sockets or cables to contact wet ar-
eas (puddles or wet grass);
– connections between cables and sockets must always
be watertight. Only use extension leads with intact, wa-
tertight and approved sockets sold on the market.
4) The quality of the extension leads must be no less than
H05RN-F or H05VV-F, with a minimum section of 1.5 mm2
and a recommended maximum length of 25 m.
5) Never use the machine if the power cable or extension
lead are damaged or worn.
6) Never connect a damaged cable to a mains socket and
never touch a damaged cable that is connected to the
mains socket. Damaged or deteriorated cables may cause
contact with energised parts.
7) Attach the extension lead to the cable fastener, before
starting the machine. Use the cable fastener to prevent the
cable from disconnecting accidentally as indicated in this
manual. Make sure it is connected to the socket without
being forced.
8) Keep extension cords away from the working rotor. The
working rotor can cause damage to the cords and lead to
contact with live parts.
9) Never pull the machine by its power cable or use the ca-
ble to pull the plug. Do not expose the cable to sources of
heat, or let it come into contact with oil, solvents and sharp
objects.
F) TRANSPORTATION AND HANDLING
1) Whenever the machine is to be handled, lifted, trans-
ported or tilted you must:
- wear sturdy work gloves;
- grasp the machine at the points that offer a safe grip, tak-
ing account of the weight and its distribution.
– use an appropriate number of people for the weight of
the machine and the characteristics of the vehicle or the
place where it must be placed or collected.
2) During transport, fasten the machine securely with
cables or chains.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE The number which precedes each paragraph links
the references in the text to the respective illustrations
(listed on page 2 and following pages).
1. COMPLETE ASSEMBLY
NOTE The machine can be supplied with some parts al-
ready assembled.
WARNING - Unpacking and completing the assembly
should be done on a flat and stable surface, with
enough space for moving the machine and its packag-
ing, always using suitable equipment.
Disposal of the packaging should be done in accord-
ance with the local regulations in force.
1.1 HANDLE ASSEMBLY
Insert the bottom of the handle (1) in the chassis holes and
lock into position with the supplied screws (2).
Attach the two middle elements (4) to the bottom (1) using
the knobs (5) and the supplied screws as shown.
Fit the cable fastener (6) in the indicated position and fas-
ten it using the screw and nut (7).
Attach the upper part of the handle (8) using the knobs (5)
and the supplied screws as shown.
Fit the cable fastener (9) in the indicated position and at-
tach the electric cable (10).
1.2 FITTING THE GRASS-CATCHER
Insert the frame (1) in the grass-catcher (2) and fasten all
the plastic sections (3) as illustrated using a screwdriver.
2. CONTROL DESCRIPTION
NOTE The meanings of the symbols on controls are ex-
plained in the previous pages.
2.1 DUAL-ACTION SWITCH
The motor is controlled by a dual-action switch to prevent
accidental start ups.
Press the button (2) and pull the lever (1) for start up.
WARNING - Starting up the motor will engage the work-
ing rotor contemporaneously.
The motor stops automatically when the lever (1) is re-
leased.
2.2 DEPTH REGULATOR
The lever (1) allows the working rotor position to be regu-
lated to four different heights, thereby varying the depth of
the working rotor in the ground.
WARNING - Movement from one position to another
can only take place with the motor off and the working
rotor stopped.
3. USING THE MACHINE
3.1 SETTING UP THE ROTOR
The machine is equipped with two different working rotors,
to be used according to the type of work to be done:
– with springs (1) for raking and surface aeration of the
ground;
– with rigid blades (2) for scarifying the ground.
To disassemble the working rotor:
– unplug the machine from the mains;
– wear work gloves and turn the machine over;
– loosen the two screws (3) on the right side of the ma-
chine;
– lift the working rotor from the right side and extract it from
the left side.
– remove the plastic support (4).
To reassemble the working rotor:
– fit the plastic support (4) on the bearing (5) located on the
end of the working rotor;
– first insert the left end (6) of the working rotor in the pro-
truding shaft (7), making sure it fits perfectly in the shaft
slot (7a).
– insert the right end with the support (4) in its housing,
with the flat part (4b) turned outward.
– reassemble and fully tighten the two screws (3).
