2.4 CONTROLS
2.4.1 Implement lifter, mechanical (3:C)
To switch between working position and transport 
position:
1. Depress the pedal fully. 
2. Release the pedal slowly.
2.4.2 Clutch-parking brake (3:B)Never press the pedal while driving. 
There is a risk of overheating in the 
power transmission. The pedal (3:B) has the follow-
ing three positions:
•Released . The clutch is not ac-
tivated. The parking brake is not 
activated.
• Depressed halfway . Forward drive disengaged. 
The parking brake is not activated.
• Fully depressed . Forward drive disengaged. 
The parking brake is fully activated but not 
locked. This position is also used as emergency 
brake.
2.4.3 Inhibitor, parking brake (3:A) The inhibitor locks the “clutch-brake” 
pedal in the depressed position. This func-
tion is used to lock the machine on slopes, 
during transport, etc., when the engine is 
not running.
Locking:
1. Depress the pedal (3:B) fully. 
2. Move the inhibitor (3:A) to the right.
3. Release the pedal (3:B).
4. Release the inhibitor (3:A).
Unlocking:
Press and release the pedal (3:B).
2.4.4 Driving-service brake (3:F)
If the machine does not brake as expect-
ed when the pedal is released, the left 
pedal (3:B) should be used as an emer-
gency brake.
The pedal determines the gearing ratio between the 
engine and the drive wheels (= the speed). When 
the pedal is released, the service brake is activated.
1. Press the pedal forward  – 
the machine moves forward.
2. No load on the pedal  – the 
machine is stationary.
3. Press the pedal backward  – 
the machine reverses.
4. Reduce the pressure on the 
pedal  – the machine brakes.
There is an adjustment plate on the upper section 
of the pedal. The adjustment plate can be adjusted 
to three (3) positions to suit the driver’s foot. 2.4.5 Steering wheel (3:D)
The height of the steering wheel is infinitely ad-
justable. Undo the adjustment knob (3:E) on the 
steering column and raise or lower the steering 
wheel to the desired position. Tighten.
Do not adjust the steering wheel during 
operation.
Never turn the steering wheel when the 
machine is stationary with a lowered 
implement. There is a risk of abnormal 
loads on the servo and steering mecha-
nisms.
2.4.6 Throttle and choke control (4:G)  (Plus, Residence, Prestige, Ranger)
A control for setting the engine speed and to choke 
the engine when starting from cold. 
If the engine runs unevenly there is a 
risk that the control is too far forward 
so that the choke is activated. This dam-
ages the engine, increases fuel con-
sumption and is harmful to the 
environment.
1. Choke  – for starting a cold engine. The 
choke position is located  at the front of the 
groove. 
Do not operate in this position when the 
engine is warm.
2. Full throttle  – when the machine is in 
operation, full throttle should always be 
used. 
The full throttle position is approximately 
2 cm behind the choke position.
3. Idling.
2.4.7 Throttle control (5:G) (Ranger Svan,  Royal, Excellent, Power)
Control for setting the engine’s revs. 1. Full throttle  – when the machine is in 
operation, full throttle should always be 
used. 
2. Idling .

ing from cold. 1. Control fully pulled out  – choke valve 
in carburettor closed. For starting cold en-
gine.
2. Control pushed in  – choke valve open. 
For starting warm engine and when oper-
ating the machine. 
Never operate the machine with the choke 
pulled out when the engine is warm.
2.4.9 Ignition lock/headlight (4, 5:I)
The ignition lock is used for starting and stopping 
the engine. The ignition lock is also the switch for 
the headlight.  Do not leave the machine with the key 
in position 2 or 3. There is a fire risk, 
fuel can run into the engine through the 
carburettor, and there is a risk of the 
battery being discharged and damaged.
Four positions: 1. Stop position  – the engine is short-
circuited. The key can be removed.
2. Operating position  – headlight activat-
ed.
3. Operating position  – headlight not ac-
tivated.
4. Start position  – the electric start motor 
is activated when the key is turned to the 
spring-loaded start position. Once the en-
gine has started, let the key return to oper-
ating position 3.
Turn the key to position 2 to light the 
headlight.
2.4.10 Power take-off (4,5:K) The power take-off must never be en-
gaged when the front-mounted imple-
ment is in transport position. This will 
destroy the belt transmission.
A lever for engaging and disengaging the power 
take-off for operating front-mounted accessories. 
Two positions: 1. Lever in forward pos ition – power take-
off disengaged.
2. Lever in backward position - power 
take-off engaged. 
2.4.11 Hour meter (2:P)
Indicates the number of working hours. Only 
works when the engine is running. 2.4.12 Cutting height adjustment (4, 5:J)
The machine is equipped with a control for using 
the cutting deck with electrical cutting height ad-
justment.
The switch is used to adjust the cutting 
height in continuously variable positions.
The cutting deck is connected to the contact (2:Q).
2.4.13 Clutch release lever 
A lever for disengaging the variable transmission.
2WD is equipped with a lever, connected to the 
rear axle. See (6:R).
4WD is equipped with two levers, connected to the 
rear axle (7:A) and the front axle (7:B).  The disengagement lever must never be 
between the outer and inner positions. 
This overheats and damages the trans-
mission.
The levers enable the machine to be moved by 
hand without the help of the engine. Two positions:
1. Lever in the inner position  – 
transmission engaged for normal 
operation.
2. Lever in the outer position  – 
transmission disengaged. The 
machine can be moved by hand.
The machine may not be towed over long distances 
or at high speeds. The transmission could be dam-
aged. 
The machine must not be operated with 
the forward most lever in the outer po-
sition. Risk of damage and oil leakage in 
the front axle. 
2.4.14 Seat (1:T) The seat can be folded and adjusted front-
rear. The seat can be adjusted as follows:
1. Move the control lever (1:S) upwards.
2. Set the seat to the desired position.
3. Release the control lever (1:S) to lock 
the seat.

The machine may not be operated un-
less the engine casing is closed and 
locked. Risk of burns and crushing in-
juries.
2.4.16 Quick-release mounting (25:H) The quick connections can be separated, 
which makes it very easy to shift between 
the different implements.
The quick connections allow the deck to 
be moved easily between the two posi-
tions:
• Normal position with fully tensioned belt.
• 4 cm behind the normal position with slackened  belt so that the deck gets closer to the base ma-
chine.
As the belt idler is releas ed from the belt, the quick 
connections simplify belt and deck replacement, 
and also make shifting to the washing position and 
service positions easier.
Releasing the belt tension:
1. Remove the locking pins (25:G) from both  sides.
2. Open the quick connections by depressing their  rear sections with your heel. See (25:F).
When the quick connections are 
opened, the deck arms rest loosely in 
the shaft sections. The deck must never 
be set to the service position or washing 
position without relocking the quick 
connections after unhooking the deck 
belt.
3. Carry out the necessary corrective action, e.g.:
• Unhook the belt.
• Replace the deck by unhooking the deck arms.  See fig. 27.
Tensioning the belt:
First tension one side and then the other according 
to the instructions below.
Do not turn the lever using your hands. 
Risk of crushing injuries.
1. Place your foot on the lever (26:J) and carefully  turn a half turn forwards.
2. Install the locking pin (25:G).

Original instructions for use
Environmental petrol can be used, i.e. alkylate pet-
rol. This type of petrol has a composition that is 
less harmful for people and nature.Petrol is highly inflammable. Always 
store fuel in containers that are made 
especially for this purpose. 
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors, 
and never smoke when filling or top-
ping up. Fill up with fuel before starting 
the engine. Never remove the filler cap 
or fill with petrol while the engine is 
running or still warm.
Never completely fill the petrol tank. Leave an 
empty space (= at least the entire filler tube plus 1 
- 2 cm at the top of the tank) to allow the petrol to 
expand when it warms up without overflowing. 
See fig. 9.
4.2 CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL  LEVEL
On delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 10W-
30 oil.
Check the oil level every time before using to

behind the choke position) if the choke has been 
used. 
Ranger Svan, Royal, Excellent, Power:
Once the engine has started, push the choke 
control in gradually if it has been used. 
9. When starting from cold, do not make the ma- chine work under load immediately, but let the 
engine run for a few minutes first. This will al-
low the oil to warm up. 
When the machine is in operation, full throttle 
should always be used.
4.6 OPERATING TIPSAlways check that there is the correct volume of 
oil in the engine. This is particularly important 
when operating on slopes. See 4.2. 
Be careful when driving on slopes. No 
sudden starting or stopping when driv-
ing up or down a slope. Never drive 
across a slope. Move from the top down 
or from the bottom to the top. 
The machine may not be driven on 
slopes greater than 10º in any direction.
Reduce the speed on slopes and when 
making sharp turns in order to retain 
control and reduce the risk of tipping 
over.
Do not turn the steering wheel to full 
lock when driving in top gear and at full 
throttle. The machine can easily topple 
over.
Keep hands and fingers well away from 
articulated steering joint and seat 
bracket. Risk of crushing injuries. Nev-
er drive with the engine casing open.
4.7 STOPDisengage the power take-off. Apply the parking 
brake. 
Allow the engine to idle 1-2 mins. Stop the engine 
by turning off the ignition key.
Shut off the petrol cock. This is particularly impor-
tant if the machine is to  be transported on a trailer 
for example.
If the machine is left unattended, re-
move the spark plug cable(s) and re-
move the ignition key.
The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the 
silencer, cylinder or cooling fins. This 
can cause burn injuries.
4.8 CLEANINGTo 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. 
Never use high-pressure water. This can 
damage shaft seals, electrical compo-
nents or hydraulic valves.
Never use high-pressure air against the 
radiator fins. This will damage the fin 
structure. 
Clean the machine after each use. The following 
instructions apply for cleaning:
• 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 (10-12:W).• After cleaning with water, start the machine and any cutting deck to remove the water that may 
otherwise penetrate bearings and cause damage.
5 MAINTENANCE
5.1 SERVICE PROGRAMMEIn order to keep the machine in good condition as 
regards reliability and operational safety as well as 
from an environmental perspective, STIGA’s Serv-
ice 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.

positive terminal (-).
• During installation. First connect the red cable  to the battery’s positive terminal (+). Then con- nect the black cable to th
e battery’s negative ter-
minal (-).
If the cables are disconnected/connect-
ed in the wrong order, there is a risk of 
a short-circuit and damage to the bat-
tery.

2.1 TRANSMISSION
2.1.1 Plus, Ranger, Ranger Svan, Excellent
La machine est équipée de roues arrière motrices.
L’essieu arrière est équipé d’une transmission hy-
drostatique à 5 rapports en marche avant et 1 en 
marche arrière, variables en continu.
L’essieu arrière est également équipé d’un diffé-
rentiel pour faciliter le braquage.
Les outils montés à l’avant sont actionnés par 
courroies.
2.1.2 Prestige, Residence, Royal, Power
La machine possède 4 roues motrices. La puissan-
ce dégagée par le moteur est transmise aux roues

positif d’entraînement des trains avant et arrière. 
Les trains avant et arrière sont connectés en série, 
ce qui signifie que les roues avant et arrières tour-
nent obligatoirement à la même vitesse. 
Pour faciliter les manœuvres, les deux essieux sont 
équipés d’un différentiel. 
Les accessoires montés à l’avant sont mus par les 
courroies d’entraînement.
