6.7 Stopping
Disengage the power take-off. Apply the parking
brake.
If the machine is left unattended, re-
move the ignition key.
The engine may be very warm immedi-
ately after it is shut off. Do not touch the
cylinder or cooling fins. This can cause
burn injuries.
6.8 Mowing tips
Make sure that there is the correct quantity of oil in
the engine when driving on slopes (oil level on
“MAX”).
Be careful when driving on slopes. No
sudden starting or stopping when mov-
ing up or down a slope. Never drive
across a slope. Move from the top down,
and from the bottom to the top.
The machine, equipped with original
accessories, may not be driven on slopes
greater than 10º in any direction.
Reduce the speed on slopes and when
making sharp turns to prevent the ma-
chine from tipping over or you losing
control of the machine.
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 operate the machine without the en-
gine casing.
7 SERVICE AND
MAINTENANCE
7.1 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 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 ““6 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.
7.2 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.
Prevent unintentional starting of the
engine by disconnecting the spark plug
cable(s) from the spark plug(s) and re-
moving the ignition key.
7.3 Tyre pressure
Adjust the air pressure in the tyres as follows:
Front: 0.6 bar (9 psi).
Rear: 0.4 bar (6 psi).
