5 MAINTENANCE

5.1 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 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 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.

5.2 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.

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 PRESSURE

Adjust the air pressure in the tyres as follows:

Front: 0.4 bar (6 psi).

Rear: 1.2 bar (17 psi).

5.4 CHANGING ENGINE OIL

Change 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.

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 collection vessel. Then take

the oil to a recycling station. 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: 1.2 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 TRANSMISSIONS

After 5 hours of operation, check that all the belts

are intact and undamaged.

5.7 STEERING

The 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 (fig. 10). 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.

Oil SAE 10W-30

Service class SJ or higher
