2 DESCRIPTION
2.1 DriveThe machine has front-wheel drive.
Front-mounted implements  are powered via drive 
belts.
2.2 SteeringThe machine has rear-wheel steering. The rear-
wheel steering means that the machine can easily 
turn around trees and other obstacles. Steering is 
controlled via a wire or wire-chain.
2.3 Safety systemThe machine is equipped with an electrical safety 
system. The safety system interrupts certain activ-
ities that can entail a danger of incorrect manoeu-
vres. For example, the engine cannot be started if 
the clutch-parking brake pedal is depressed.
The operation of the safety system must 
always be checked every time before 
use.
2.4 Controls
2.4.1 Implement lifter, mechanical (1:A)
To switch between working position and transport 
position:
1. Depress the pedal fully. 
2. Release the pedal slowly.
2.4.2 Service brake - Clutch - Parking brake (3:B) (Man)
A pedal that combines both service brake and 
clutch. There are 3 positions: 1. Pedal released – forward drive 
engaged. The machine will 
move if a gear is engaged. 
Service brake not activated.
2. Pedal depressed halfway – 
forward drive disengaged, gear 
shifting can be performed. 
Service brake not activated.
3. Pedal fully depressed – 
forward drive disengaged. 
Service brake fully activated.
NOTE! You must never regulate the operating  speed by slipping the clutch. Use a suitable gear 
instead, so that the right speed is obtained.

ENGLISHEN
2.4.3 Clutch-parking brake (1:B) (HST)Never press the pedal while driving. 
There is a risk of overheating in the 
power transmission. The pedal (2:B) has the follow-
ing three positions:
• Released . The clutch is not activated. The park-
ing 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.
2.4.4 Inhibitor, pa rking brake (1:C)
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.
The parking brake must always be re-
leased during operation.
Locking:
1. Depress the pedal (1:A) fully. 
2. Move the inhibitor (1:C) to the right.
3. Release the pedal.
4. Release the inhibitor.
Unlocking:
Press and release the pedal.
2.4.5 Driving-service brake (1:D) (HST) If the machine does not brake as expect-
ed when the pedal is released, the left 
pedal (1:B) should be used as an emer-
gency brake.
The pedal (1:D) determines the gearing ratio be-
tween 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 ma-
chine is stationary.
3. Press the pedal backward – 
the machine reverses.
4. Reduce the pressure on the 
pedal – the machine brakes. 2.4.6 Throttle and choke control (2:H) 
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 Ignition lock/headlight (2:F)
The ignition lock is used for starting and stopping 
the engine.  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-cir-
cuited. The key can be removed.
2. Operating position.
3. Operating position.
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.
2.4.8 Gear lever (2:J) (Man))
A lever for selecting one of  the five forward gears 
in the gearbox (1-2-3-4-5), neutral (N) or reverse 
(R).
The clutch pedal must be kept pressed in when 
changing gear.
NOTE! You must make sure the machine is quite 
stationary before changing from reverse to forward 
gear or vice versa. If a gear does not engage imme-
diately, release the clutch pedal and then press it in 
once again. Engage the gear once again. Never 
force a gear in.

ENGLISHEN
2.4.9 Power take-off (2:E)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 cutting decks and front-
mounted accessories. Two positions:
1.Forward position – power take-off dis-
engaged.
2. Backward position – power take-off en-
gaged.
2.4.10 Clutch release lever (3:K)
A lever for disengaging the variable transmission. 
Enables the machine to be moved by hand without 
the help of the engine.  The disengagement lever must never be 
between the outer and inner positions. 
This overheats and damages the trans-
mission.
Two positions: 1. Lever out – transmission en-
gaged for normal operation. 
There is an audible click when 
the lever locks in the outer posi-
tion.
2. Lever in – transmission disen-
gaged. 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. 
2.4.11 Seat (4:L)
The seat can be folded and adjusted for-
wards and backwards. The seat’s forward/
backward position can be locked with the 
knobs (4:M).
The seat is equipped with a safety switch that is 
connected to the machine’s safety system. This 
means that certain activities that can entail danger 
cannot be carried out when nobody is sitting in the 
seat. See also 4.3.2.
2.4.12 Engine casing (fig. 6)
To fill with fuel and to inspect and maintain the en-
gine and battery, open the engine casing. 
The engine must not be running when 
the casing is opened.  
2.4.12.1Opening1. Ensure that the control arms are in their forward 
positions. 2. Raise the seat lock (4:N) and fold the seat for-
wards.
3. Grasp the front edge of the engine casing and  fold up the casing.
2.4.12.2ClosingGrasp the front edge of the engine casing and fold 
down the casing.

ENGLISHEN
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 en tire 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. 6.
4.2 Checking the engine oil levelOn delivery, the crankcase is filled with SAE 10W-
30 oil.
See fig. 9.
Check the oil level every time before using to 
ensure it is correct. The machine should be 
standing on level ground.
Wipe clean around the oil dipstick. Un-
screw and pull it up. Wipe off the dipstick.
Slide the dipstick down completely and tighten it.
Pull up the dipstick again. Read off the oil level. 
Top up with oil to the “FULL” mark, if the level 
comes below this mark (7).
The oil level must never exceed the “FULL” mark. 
This results in the engine overheating. If the oil 
level exceeds the “FULL” mark, the oil must be 
drained until the correct level is achieved.
4.3 Safety checksCheck that the results of the safety checks below 
are achieved when testing the machine in question. The safety checks must always be car-
ried out every time before use.
If any of the results below is not 
achieved, the machine must not be 
used! Take the machine to a service 
workshop for repair.
4.3.1 General safety check 4.3.2 Electrical safety check
The operation of the safety system 
should always be checked every time 
before use.
4.4 Start1.  See fig. 8. Open the fuel cock located inside the cover on the rear left-hand side.
2.  Check that the spark plug cable(s) is/are in- stalled on the spark plug(s).
3.  Check to make sure that the power take-off is  disengaged. 
4.  Do not keep your foot on the drive pedal. 
5. Starting cold engine – put the throttle control in  the choke position. 
Starting warm engine – put the throttle control 
at full throttle (approx. 2 cm behind the choke 
position).
6.  Depress the clutch-brake pedal fully.
7.  Turn the ignition key and start the engine.
8 Once the engine has star ted, move the throttle 
control gradually to full throttle (approx. 2 cm 
behind the choke position) if the choke 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.
4.5 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.

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 
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 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 author ised 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” 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 PreparationAll service and all maintenance must be carried out 
on a stationary machine wi th the engine switched 
off.
Prevent the machine from rolling by al-
ways applying the parking brake.
Prevent unintentional starting of the 
engine by disconnecting the spark plug 
cable(s) from the spark plug(s) and re-
moving the ignition key. 
5.3 Tyre pressureAdjust the air pressure in the tyres as follows:
Front: 0.4 bar (6 psi).
Rear: 1.2 bar (17 psi). 
5.4 Changing engine oilChange engine oil for the first time after 5 hours of 
operation, and subsequently after every 50 hours 
of operation or once a season. 
Change the oil more often (after 25 hours of oper-
ation or at least once a season) if the engine has to 
operate under demanding conditions or if the am-
bient temperature is high. 
						

							
18
ENGLISHEN
Use oil according to the table below.
Use oil without any additives.
Do not fill with too much 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. Therefore allow the engine to 
cool a few minutes before draining the 
oil.
1. Unscrew the oil drain plug (fig. 9).
2. Collect the oil in a coll ection vessel. Then take 
the oil to a recycling stat ion. Do not spill any oil 
on the drive belts.
3.  Screw in the oil drain plug.
4.  Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil. Oil quantity: 1.4 l
5. After filling up the oil,  start the engine and idle 
for 30 seconds. 
6. Check to see if there is any oil leakage.
7. Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds and then  check the oil level in accordance with 4.2.
5.5 Fuel filter (7:Q)Replace the fuel filter every season. Check for fuel 
leaks once the new filter has been installed.
5.6 Belt transmissionsAfter 5 hours of operation,  check that all the belts 
are intact and undamaged.
5.7 SteeringThe steering must be checked/adjusted after 5 
hours of operation and thereafter every 25 hours of 
operation.
5.7.1 Checks
Briefly turn the steering wheel back and forth. 
There must be no mechanical clearance in the 
steering.
5.7.2 Adjustment
Tension the steering cables by tightening up the 
nut. Important! The screws in the ends of the cable 
should be held firmly during adjustment so that the 
cable is not twisted. Using an adjustable wrench or 
similar, grasp the key handle on the screws in the 
ends of the cable.
Adjust the steering cables until all play is removed.
Do not tension the steering cables too hard. Other-
wise the steering will be heavy and wear and tear 
on the cables will increase.
5.8 BatteryNever overcharge the battery. Over-
charging can damage the battery.
Do not short-circuit the battery’s termi-
nals. Sparks occur which can result in 
fire. Do not wear metal jewellery which

ENGLISHEN
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.
If the cables are interchanged, the gen-
erator and the battery will be damaged.
Tighten the cables securely. Loose ca-
bles can cause a fire.
The engine must never be driven with 
the battery disconnected. There is a risk 
of serious damage to the generator and 
the electrical system.
5.8.4 Cleaning
If the battery terminals are coated with oxide, they 
should be cleaned. Clean th e battery terminals with 
a wire brush and lubricate them with terminal 
grease.
5.9 Air filterThe pre-filter (foam filter) must be cleaned/re-
placed after 25 hours of operation.
The air filter (paper filter) must be cleaned/re-
placed after 100 hours of operation.
NOTE! The filters shoul d be cleaned/replaced 
more often if the machine operates on dusty 
ground.
Remove/install the air filters as follows.
1.  Clean carefully around  the air filter cover.
2. Dismantle the air filter  cover (12:R) by remov-
ing the two clamps. 
3.  Dismantle the filter  assembly (12:S). The pre-
filter is placed over the air filter. Make sure that 
no dirt gets into the carburettor. Clean the air fil-
ter housing.
4. Clean the paper filter  by tapping it gently 
against a flat surface. If th e filter is very dirty, 
replace it.
5. Clean the pre-filter. If the filter is very dirty, re- place it.
6. Assemble in the reverse order.
Compressed air or petroleum-based solvents such 
as kerosene may not be used for cleaning the paper 
filter insert. This will damage the filter.
Do not use compressed air for cleaning the paper 
filter insert. The paper filter insert must not be 
oiled. 
5.10 Spark plugThe spark plug(s) must be replaced every 200 
hours of operation (=at every other basic service).
Use the spark plug key supplied. 
Before disconnecting the spark plug, clean around 
its mounting.
Spark plug
: Champion RC12YC or equivalent..
Electrode distance: 0.75 mm.
5.11 Air intake (7:P)The engine is air-cooled. A blocked cooling sys-
tem can damage the engine. Clean the engine’s air 
intake after 50 hours of operation. More meticu-
lous cleaning of the cooli ng system is carried out 
during each basic service.
5.12 LubricationAll lubrication points in  accordance with the table 
below must be lubricated  every 25 hours of opera-
tion as well as after every wash. 
5.13 FusesIf any of the faults listed below occurs, replace the 
relevant fuse. The fuse(s) is located together with
