sonal injury and/or damage to property  
may result if the instructions are not  
followed carefully.  
STEERING WHEEL  
SYMBOLS  
Install the wheel on the steering column with the  
enclosed pin and push on the steering column  
sleeve.  
The following symbols can be found on the ma-  
chine to remind you of the care and attention that  
are required during use:  
The shim washers in the accessories bag should be  
installed between the lower and upper steering col-  
umn jacket to compensate for any axial play: 0, 1  
or 2 washers may be necessary (fig. 1).  
The symbols mean:  
Warning!  
Read the instruction manual and the safety  
manual before using the machine.  
BATTERY  
The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V  
nominal voltage. The battery is maintenance-free  
insofar as you don’t have to check or top up the  
electrolyte level.  
Warning!  
Do not insert your hands or feet under the  
cover when the machine is in operation.  
On delivery, the battery is in the accessories box.  
Warning!  
Watch out for discarded objects. Keep on-  
lookers away.  
The battery must be fully charged be-  
fore being used for the first time. The  
battery should always be stored fully  
charged. If the battery is stored for  
longer than 10 days without being  
charged, it can be damaged.  
Warning!  
Before starting repair work, remove the  
spark plug cable from the spark plug.  
If the machine is not going to be used for an ex-  
tended 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.  
Warning!  
Use hearing protectors.  
Warning!  
This machine is not designed to be driven  
on public roads.  
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.  
INSTALLATION  
To avoid injury and damage to people  
and property, try not to start the engine  
before all the measures under “AS-  
SEMBLY“ have been carried out.  
Stiga recommends battery charger with item no.  
1136-0602-01 which may be ordered by an au-  
thorised dealer.  
2. You can also allow the engine to charge the bat-  
tery. 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 al-  
low the engine to run continuously for at least  
45 minutes.

fire. Do not wear metal jewellery which  
can come into contact with the battery  
terminals.  
GRASS COLLECTOR (Accessory)  
Assemble the grass collector according to the sep-  
arate assembly instructions supplied with the grass  
collector.  
In the event of damage to the battery  
casing, cover, terminals or interference  
to the strip covering the valves, the bat-  
tery should be replaced.  
The ejector tube G may only be used together  
with the complete grass collector.  
When using the grass collector, all components  
which make up the collector must be installed on  
the machine (fig. 5).  
If the battery terminals are coated with oxide, they  
should be cleaned. Clean the battery terminals with  
a wire brush and grease them.  
Never use the machine without the col-  
lection sack H and the long ejector tube  
being installed. There is a risk of stones  
and other objects being thrown out, in-  
juring people and animals or damaging  
property.  
Position the battery in the appropriate place under  
the engine casing and thread over the battery  
mount in accordance with fig. 2. Press down the  
mount into the appropriate holes. Place the locking  
nuts in the wing nuts. Thread the washers onto the  
battery mount’s legs from below and secure with  
the wing nuts so that the battery is securely mount-  
ed. Connect the battery cables.  
Warning for the rotating blade. Never  
put your hand or foot in the ejector  
opening.  
NOTE! To avoid damage to the engine and the bat-  
tery, the positive battery cable (+) should always  
be connected to the battery first.

SAFETY SYSTEM  
This machine is equipped with a safety system that  
consists of:  
GB  
ENGLISH  
- a switch on the gearbox  
- a switch in the seat mount  
Check the oil level every time before using. The  
machine should be standing on level ground.  
- a switch at the blade engaging lever  
- a replaceable, electronic safety module which  
controls the system  
Remove dipstick B and wipe it off. Slide it  
down completely and tighten it.  
Then unscrew it and pull it up again. Read off the  
oil level. Top up with oil to the “FULL“ mark, if  
the oil level comes below it (figs. 11 - 12).  
In order to start the machine, the following are nec-  
essary:  
- the gear lever in neutral  
- driver sitting on seat  
- the blade engaging lever in the rear position (=  
blade  
STARTING THE ENGINE  
1. Open the fuel cock.  
disengaged)  
2. Make sure that the sparking plug cable is prop-  
erly in place.  
Always check the operation of the safe-  
ty system before using the machine!  
3. Make sure that the cutting deck is disengaged.  
The blade engaging lever should be in its rear po-  
sition.  
Check as follows:  
- start the engine, sit on the seat, engage a gear,  
lift your weight  
off the seat – the engine should stop.  
- start the engine again, sit on the seat, engage  
the blade, lift your weight off the seat – the en-  
gine should stop.  
4. Put the gear lever in neutral.  
5. Starting cold engine – put the throttle control in  
the choke position.  
Starting warm engine – put the throttle control at  
full throttle (1 - 1.5 cm above the choke position).  
6. Depress the brake pedal fully.  
Do not use the machine if the safety sys-  
tem is not working! Take the machine to  
a service workshop for inspection!  
7. Turn the starter key and start the engine.  
8. Once the engine has started, move the throttle  
control gradually to full throttle if the choke has  
been used.  
FILL UP THE PETROL TANK  
Always use lead-free petrol. You must  
never use 2-stroke petrol mixed with oil.  
9. When starting from cold, do not make the ma-  
chine work under load immediately, but let the en-  
gine run for a few minutes first. This will allow the  
oil to warm up.  
NOTE! Bear in mind that ordinary lead-free petrol  
is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than  
can be used within thirty days.  
STOPPING  
Environmentally friendly petrol can be used, i.e.  
alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a composi-  
tion that is less harmful for people and nature.  
Move the blade engaging lever backwards to the  
disengaged position. Apply the parking brake.  
Petrol is highly inflammable. Always  
store petrol in containers that are made  
especially for this purpose.  
Allow the engine to idle 1 - 2 mins.  
Stop the engine by turning off the starter key. Then  
remove the starter key.  
Only fill or top up with petrol outdoors,  
and never smoke when filling or top-  
ping up. Fill with petrol before starting  
the engine. Never remove the filler cap  
or fill with petrol while the engine is  
running or still warm.  
Shut off the petrol cock.  
If the machine is left unattended, re-  
move the spark plug cable from the  
spark plug.  
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.  
CHECK THE ENGINE’S OIL LEVEL  
On delivery, the engine’s crankcase is filled with  
SAE 30 oil.

CUTTING TIPS  
MAINTENANCE  
Before mowing the lawn, take care to remove any  
loose stones, toys and other hard objects.  
No servicing may be carried out on the  
engine or cutting deck unless:  
-the engine has stopped.  
-the starter key has been removed.  
-the spark plug cable has been removed  
from the spark plug.  
Locate any fixed objects before mowing a lawn  
you are unfamiliar with. Loose and/or fixed ob-  
jects can seriously damage the cutting deck.  
Do not cut wet grass (during or immediately after  
rain).  
-the parking brake has been applied.  
-the cutting deck is disengaged.  
Keep hands and feet away from the ro-  
tating blade. Never put your hand or  
foot under the blade casing or in the  
grass ejector while the engine is run-  
ning.  
MAINTENANCE TIPS  
The machine is designed to stand on its end during  
maintenance work (fig. 7).  
If the engine has stopped due to the grass being too  
thick: disengage the cutting deck and move the  
machine to a cut area before engaging it again.  
If the machine is to stand on its end, the  
petrol and engine oil must have been  
drained out first.  
For optimum ‘Multiclip effect’, follow these tips:  
- cut frequently.  
- run the engine at full revs.  
- keep the underside of the cutting deck clean.  
- use sharp blades.  
- do not cut wet grass.  
- cut twice (with different cutting heights) if  
the grass is long.  
CLEANING  
Rinse clean the underside of the cutting deck with  
the garden hose.  
NOTE! Do not aim the jet directly at the transmis-  
sion or the air filter.  
OIL CHANGE, ENGINE  
Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of oper-  
ation, and subsequently every 50 hours of opera-  
tion or once a season. Change oil when the engine  
is warm.  
OPERATION  
Make sure that there is the correct quantity of oil in  
the engine when mowing on slopes (oil level on  
“FULL“).  
Always use a good grade of oil (service grade SF,  
SG or SH).  
Be careful when driving on slopes. No  
sudden starting or stopping when mov-  
ing up or down a slope. Never cut across  
a slope. Move from the top down, and  
from the bottom to the top.  
The engine oil may be very warm 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.  
The machine, equipped with original  
accessories, may not be driven on slopes  
greater than 10º in any direction.  
1. Tilt the machine to the left (machine viewed  
from the rear). Unscrew the oil drain plug J (fig. 8).  
Let the oil run out into a collection vessel. Do not  
allow oil to get on the V-belts. Screw in the oil  
plug.  
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.  
2. Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil.  
Oil capacity: 1.4 litres  
Oil type, summer: SAE-30  
(SAE 10W-30 can also be used. However, oil con-  
sumption may increase somewhat if 10W-30 is  
used. Therefore, check the oil level more regularly  
if you use this type of oil).  
GB  
ENGLISH  
Oil type, winter: SAE 5W-30  
(if this oil is not available, use SAE 10W-30).  
KEEP THE ENGINE CLEAN  
The engine is air-cooled. A blocked cooling sys-  
tem can damage the engine.  
Use oil without any additives.  
Do not fill with too much oil. This can cause the  
engine to overheat.  
Clean the cylinder’s cooling fins and air intake of  
grass and dirt every 5 hours or daily (fig. 12). This  
is particularly important when mowing dry grass.  
Check the oil level each time after filling. The lev-  
el should be at “FULL“.  
Also clean around the silencer to avoid fire.  
Use compressed air or a brush for cleaning. Do not  
point jets of water directly at the engine.  
LUBRICATION  
The front axle has four lubrication points K  
(fig. 9). Fill with grease (use a grease gun) once per  
season.  
When cutting dry grass for an extended period of  
time, the engine’s interior cooling fins may need to  
be cleaned. Contact an authorised service station.  
Lubricate the steering pinions L with grease a cou-  
ple of times per season (fig. 10).  
SPARK PLUG  
Also lubricate the machine’s other moving parts a  
couple of times per season.  
Check and clean the spark plug every 100 hours of  
operation.  
Clean the spark plug with a wire brush (not sand  
blasting) and reset the spark gap to 0.75 mm.  
AIR FILTER  
Important! Never run the engine without the air  
cleaner being installed.  
Replace the spark plug if the electrodes are exces-  
sively burnt. For replacing a spark plug, a spark  
plug sleeve and a torsion pin are provided in the  
accessories bag.  
Foam filter (pre-filter): Clean every 3 months or  
after every 25 hours of operation, whichever  
comes first.  
The engine manufacturer recommends:  
Champion J19LM or similar.  
Paper filter: Replace annually or after 100 hours of  
operation. More often if the machine works under  
extremely dusty conditions.  
CARBURETTOR  
1. Remove the air filter’s protective cover and  
foam filter (fig. 11).  
The carburettor is correctly set at the factory and  
no adjustment is normally required.  
2. Wash the pre-filter M in liquid detergent and wa-  
ter. Squeeze dry. Pour a little oil on the filter and  
squeeze in the oil.  
If the carburettor does need adjustment, contact a  
service station.  
ADJUSTING CLUTCH/BRAKE  
3. Lift out the paper filter N and clean the air filter  
housing carefully to prevent dirt getting into the  
carburettor.  
If the drive belt slips (it can stretch slightly when it  
becomes worn), there is an adjustment on the gear-  
shift/brake linkage.  
4. Clean the paper filter insert as follows: Knock it  
lightly against a flat surface. If the filter is very  
dirty, change it.  
Adjustment: Move the locking pin O to the rear  
hole (fig. 13).  
The brakes are adjusted with nut P on the brake  
arm (fig. 13).  
5. Assemble in the reverse order.  
Petroleum-based solvents may not be used when  
cleaning the paper filter. These solvents can de-  
stroy the filter.  
After adjusting, make sure that the clutch is always  
activated before the brake.  
Do not use compressed air for cleaning the paper  
filter insert. The paper filter insert must not be  
oiled.  
REMOVING THE CUTTING DECK  
1. Apply the parking brake.  
2. Lift the machine and stand it on its end.

drained out first.  
Replace the brake lining when it is worn.  
BLADE  
3. Set the lowest cutting height and remove the  
locking pin Q (fig. 14).  
Ensure that the blade is always sharp. This produc-  
es the best cutting results.  
4. Remove the two rear locking pins R and the ca-  
bles for the switch contact on the deck (fig. 15).  
SHARPENING  
For safety reasons, the blade should not be sharp-  
ened on an emery wheel. Incorrect sharpening (=  
too high temperature) could cause the blade to be-  
come brittle.  
5. Force the belt off the pulley (bend the belt guide  
S upwards) (fig. 16).  
6. Lift off the deck.  
REPLACING V-BELT  
ENGINE - CUTTING DECK  
Sharpening of the blades must be done by wet  
method grinding, using a whetstone or a grind-  
stone.  
1. Remove the cutting deck (see above).  
Once the blade has been sharpened, it  
must then be balanced to avoid vibra-  
tion damage.  
2. Remove the belt loop T. Remove the old belt  
(fig. 17).  
3. Install a new genuine belt in reverse order.  
REPLACING THE BLADE  
When replacing the blade, blade holder and blade  
screw – always use genuine spare parts.  
REPLACING V-BELT  
ENGINE - TRANSMISSION  
1. Apply the parking brake.  
Always use original spare parts. Non-  
genuine spare parts can entail a risk of  
injury, even if they fit the machine.  
2. Lift the machine and stand it on its end.  
If the machine is to stand on its end, the  
petrol and engine oil must have been  
drained out first.  
When replacing the blade, the centre bolt should  
also be replaced. This is equipped with a lock.  
Blade screw tightening torque: 65 Nm.  
3. Remove the cutting deck (see above).  
4. Undo spring U and remove the belt idler V (fig.  
16).
