STEERING AID (Pro20)  
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE  
Built-in function in order to facilitate steering. The  
operator only has to turn the steering wheel gently.  
A hydraulic torque amplifier creates the remaining  
force.  
SERVICE PROGRAM  
In order to keep the machine in good condition, as  
regards reliability and operational safety as well as  
from an environmental perspective, STIGA’s  
service program should be followed.  
As opposed to normal servo steering (e.g. in a car),  
the steering aid has a limited capacity. This means  
that it has some characteristics that might be  
considered negative:  
The contents of this program can be found in the  
attached service log.  
We recommend that an authorised workshop  
carries out every service. This guarantees that the  
work is performed by trained personnel and with  
genuine spare parts.  
At every service, the service log should be  
stamped. A “fully stamped” service log is a  
valuable document that improves the machine’s  
second-hand value.  
-
at a low engine rpm or in situations where extra  
steering force is needed, steering can be  
considered to be “jumpy”.  
the machine should always be moving when the  
steering is used. Avoid turning the steering  
wheel when the machine is standing completely  
still and the accessory is in the lowered working  
position.  
-
The steering is adapted in order to produce better  
results at a normal working speed. This produces  
major benefits.  
Even when the engine is not running, the steering  
works. However, it is harder to turn in this case, if  
the machine is to be manoeuvred manually.  
PREPARATIONS  
Unless otherwise stated, all service and  
maintenance must be carried out on a stationary  
machine when the engine is not running.  
Prevent the machine from rolling by  
always applying the parking brake.  
DRIVING TIPS  
Make sure that there is the correct quantity of oil in  
the engine when driving on slopes (oil level on  
“FULL”).  
Prevent unintentional starting of the  
engine by always stopping the engine,  
disconnecting the spark plug cable  
from the spark plug and earthing it.  
Disconnect the negative cable from the  
battery.  
Be careful when driving on slopes. No  
sudden starting or stopping when  
moving 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  
machine 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.  
CLEANING  
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the  
engine, silencer/catalytic converter,  
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.  
When washing the machine with water  
under high pressure, do not point the jet directly at  
the transmission.  
Keep hands and fingers well away from  
articulated steering joint and seat  
bracket. Risk of crushing injuries.  
Never operate the machine without the  
engine casing.  
Do not point jets of water directly at the engine.  
Use a brush or compressed air in order to clean it.  
ENGINE OIL  
(President - Comfort - Pro16 - Pro20  
- Excellent)  
Change the oil for the first time after 5 hours  
running, and then after every 50 hours running or  
once a season. Change oil when the engine is  
warm.  
Always use a good grade of synthetic oil (service  
grade SF, SG or SH).  
56

EN  
ENGLISH  
Change the oil more often (after 25 hours of  
operation or at least once a season) if the engine  
has to operate under demanding conditions or if  
the ambient temperature is high.  
Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil up to  
the “UPPER” mark.  
Oil capacity:  
Royal - 0.9 l (= oil quantity at change. In total the  
engine holds 1.15 l).  
Oil type for all seasons: SAE 10W-40.  
For extremely low temperatures (< -20° C), use  
SAE 5W-30.  
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. Oil drain pipe (metal):  
Use oil without any additives.  
Do not fill with too much oil. This can cause the  
engine to overheat.  
Unscrew the oil drain plug at the end of the pipe.  
Collect the oil in a collection vessel. Then take  
the oil to a recycling station. Do not allow oil to  
get on the V-belts.  
2. Screw in the oil drain plug. Make sure that the  
fibre gasket and the O-ring inside the plug are not  
damaged and that they are in the correct place.  
OIL FILTER – ENGINE  
(Pro16 - Pro20 - Excellent)  
Replace the oil filter after every 100 hours of  
operation or once a season.  
3. Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil.  
Before screwing the new filter, oil the filter gasket  
with engine oil.  
Screw the filter by hand, until the filter gasket  
touches the filter attachment. Then tighten ½ to ¾  
of a full turn (fig. 14).  
Oil capacity:  
Comfort, President - 1.4 l  
Pro16, Pro20 - Excellent - 1.7 l (incl. oil filter)  
Oil type, summer (> 4ºC): SAE-30  
(SAE 10W-30 can also be used. However, oil  
consumption may increase somewhat if 10W-30 is  
used. Therefore, check the oil level more regularly  
if you use this type of oil).  
Oil type, winter (< 4ºC): SAE 5W-30  
(if this oil is not available, use SAE 10W-30).  
Use oil without any additives.  
Do not fill with too much oil. This can cause the  
engine to overheat.  
After filling up the oil, start the engine and idle for  
30 seconds. Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds  
and then check the oil level.  
Start the engine and idle to see if any leakage  
occurs. Stop the engine. Check the oil level. If  
necessary, fill up the oil up to the “FULL” mark.  
AIR FILTER - ENGINE  
Comfort - President - Pro16 - Pro20 - Excellent:  
Clean the foam pre-filter every 3 months or after  
every 25 hours of operation, whichever comes  
first.  
Clean the paper filter insert once a year or after  
every 100 hours of operation, whichever comes  
first.  
Royal:  
Check to see if there is any oil leakage. If  
necessary, fill up the oil up to the “FULL“ mark.  
Clean the air filter every 3 months or after every 50  
hours of operation, whichever comes first.  
Clean the paper filter insert once a year or after  
every 200 hours of operation, whichever comes  
first.  
ENGINE OIL (Royal)  
Change the oil for the first time after 20 hours of  
operation (or during the first month), and then after  
every 100 hours of operation or once every 6  
months.  
All models:  
Note! Both filters should be cleaned more often if  
the machine operates on dusty ground.  
Change oil when the engine is warm. Always use  
a good grade of synthetic oil (service grade SF, SG  
or SH).  
1. Remove the protective cover of the air filter (fig.  
15 - 17).  
2. Dismantle the paper filter insert and the foam  
pre-filter. Make sure that no dirt gets into the  
carburettor. Clean the air filter housing.  
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.  
3a. Pro 16, Pro 20:  
Wash the pre-filter in liquid detergent and water.  
Squeeze dry. Pour a little oil on the filter and  
squeeze in the oil.  
Unscrew the oil drain plug at the end of the pipe  
(fig. 13).  
Collect the oil in a collection vessel. Then take  
the oil to a recycling station. Do not allow oil to  
get on the V-belts.  
Screw in the oil drain plug. Make sure that the fibre  
gasket and the O-ring inside the plug are not  
damaged and that they are in the correct place.  
3b. President, Comfort:  
Replace the pre-filter once a year or after every 25  
hours of operation, whichever comes first.  
4. Clean the paper filter insert as follows: Knock it  
lightly against a flat surface. If the filter is very  
dirty, change it.

5. Assemble in the reverse order.  
If the machine is not going to be used for an  
extended period (more than 1 month), the battery  
should be charged, disconnected and then stored in  
a cool, safe place. Charge the battery completely  
before reinstalling.  
Petroleum-based solvents such as kerosene may  
not be used for cleaning the paper filter insert.  
These solvents can destroy the filter.  
Do not use compressed air for cleaning the paper  
filter insert. The paper filter insert must not be  
oiled.  
The battery can be charged in two ways:  
1. Via a battery charger (recommended). This must  
be a charger with constant voltage. The battery  
can be damaged if a standard type battery  
charger (for acid batteries) is used.  
AIR FILTER – CATALYTIC  
CONVERTER (Pro20 Cat)  
Clean the catalytic converter’s air filter every 3  
months or after every 25 hours of operation,  
whichever comes first.  
Stiga recommends battery charger with item no.  
1136-0602-01 which may be ordered by an  
authorised dealer.  
2. You can also allow the engine to charge the  
battery. In this case it is very important, above  
all when starting the machine for the first time  
and when it has not been used for a long time,  
to allow the engine to run continuously for at  
least 45 minutes.  
1. Remove the cover by pressing in the locking  
mechanism with a screwdriver etc. (fig. 18).  
2. Remove the foam filter and wash it in liquid  
detergent and water. Squeeze dry. Do not oil the  
filter.  
3. Replace the filter and snap the cover into place.  
Do not short circuit the battery’s  
terminals. Sparks occur which can  
result in fire. Do not wear metal  
jewellery which can come into contact  
with the battery terminals.  
In the event of damage to the battery  
casing, cover, terminals or interference  
to the strip covering the valves, the  
battery should be replaced.  
SPARK PLUG  
Only use a Briggs & Stratton sparking tester to  
check the spark in the sparking plug(s) (fig. 19).  
Clean the spark plug after every 100 hours of  
operation or once a season. For replacing a spark  
plug, a spark plug sleeve A and a torsion pin B are  
provided in the accessories bag.  
The engine manufacturer recommends:  
If the battery terminals are coated with oxide, they  
should be cleaned. Clean the battery terminals with  
a wire brush and grease them.  
Royal: NGK BPR5ES or DENSO W16EPR-U  
President-Comfort-Pro16-Pro20 - Excellent:  
Champion RC12YC  
Correct spark gap: 0.75 mm.  
LUBRICATION  
The machine’s articulated steering joint has four  
grease nipples that should be lubricated with  
universal grease after every 25 hours of operation  
(fig. 20).  
Note: The fourth grease nipple is not shown on the  
picture. It is located on the underside, on the  
flexible axle’s front bearing.  
Comfort-President-Royal:  
Lubricate the steering chain with chain spray a  
couple of times per season.  
COOLING AIR INTAKE - ENGINE  
The engine is air-cooled. A blocked cooling  
system can damage the engine. The engine should  
be cleaned at least once a year or every 100 hours  
of operation.  
Remove the fan casing. Clean the cooling fins on  
the cylinder, the fan and the rotating protective  
grille. Clean more frequently if mowing dry grass.  
BATTERY  
Pro16-Pro20:  
The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V  
nominal voltage. The battery is completely  
maintenance free. You don’t have to check or top  
up the electrolyte level.  
Lubricate the steering chains with chain spray a  
couple of times per season. If the steering chains  
are really dirty, dismantle them, wash them and  
then grease them once more.  
On delivery, the battery is in the accessories box.  
Comfort-President-Royal:  
The battery must be fully charged  
before being used for the first time. The  
battery should always be stored fully  
charged. If the battery is stored while  
totally flat it could sustain permanent  
damage.  
The front wheel hub has grease nipples that should  
be lubricated after every 50 hours of operation (fig.  
24).  
Apply universal grease to all the plastic bearings a  
couple of times per season.  
Apply a coating of engine oil to the tension arm  
joints a couple of times each season.

PATENT - DESIGN  
REGISTRATION  
This machine or parts thereof is covered by the  
following patent and design registration:  
9900627-2 (SE), SE00/00250 (PCT), 9901091-0  
(SE), SE00/00577 (PCT), 9901730-3 (SE), SE00/  
00895 (PCT), 9401745-6 (SE), SE95/00525  
(PCT), 595 7497 (US), 95920332.4 (EPC).  
The hydrostatic transmission is filled with oil  
(10W-40) on delivery from the factory. Unless it is  
opened (only to be performed by a specialist), and  
provided no leakage occurs, no topping up with oil  
should normally be carried out. Transmission oil  
does not normally need to be changed.  
STEERING CABLES  
(President - Comfort - Royal)  
The steering cables should be adjusted for the first  
time after the machine has been in operation for 2  
- 3 hours, and then after every 25 hours of  
operation.  
99 1095 (SE), 499 11 740.9 (DE), M1990 000734  
(IT), 577 251-253 (FR), 115325 (US).  
Put the machine in the straight-ahead position.  
Tension the steering cables by tightening the nuts  
that are located on the underside of the articulated  
steering joint (fig. 21). The screws in the ends of  
the cables should be held firmly during adjustment  
so that the cables are not twisted. Use an adjustable  
wrench or similar for this purpose, inserting it in  
the key handles in the ends of the screws. Tension  
until all play is removed.  
Adjust both the nuts the same amount to ensure  
that the alignment of the steering wheel is not  
changed.  
Once the adjustment is complete, turn the steering  
wheel as far as it will go in either direction. Check  
that the chain does not come into contact with the  
pulley, and that the cables do not become  
entangled with the steering pinions.  
Do not tension the steering cables too hard.  
Otherwise the steering will be heavy and wear and  
tear on the cables will increase.  
STEERING CHAINS (Pro16 - Pro20)  
The steering chains should be adjusted for the first  
time after the machine has been in operation for 2  
- 3 hours, and then after every 50 hours of  
operation.  
Put the machine in the straight-ahead position.  
Tension the steering chains by tightening up the  
nuts that are located on the underside of the  
articulated steering joint (fig. 21). Tension until all  
play is removed.  
Adjust both the nuts the same amount to ensure  
that the alignment of the steering wheel is not  
changed.  
Do not over-tighten the steering chains. This will  
cause the steering to become heavy and will  
increase wear on the steering chains.  
GGP reserves the right to make alterations to the
