1 GENERAL  
2 DESCRIPTION  
This symbol indicates WARNING. Seri-  
ous personal injury and/or damage to  
property may result if the instructions  
are not followed carefully.  
You must read these instructions for use  
and the accompanying pamphlet  
“SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” careful-  
ly, before starting up the machine.  
2.1 Drive  
2.1.1 2WD  
The machine is rear wheel drive.  
The rear axle is equipped with a hydrostatic trans-  
mission with infinitely variable forward and re-  
verse gear ratios.  
The rear axle is also equipped with a differential to  
facilitate turning.  
1.1 SYMBOLS  
Front mounted tools are driven by drive belts.  
The following symbols appear on the machine.  
They are there to remind you of the care and atten-  
tion required during use and maintenance.  
2.1.2 4WD  
The machine has 4-wheel drive. The power from  
the engine to the drive wheels is transferred hy-  
draulically. The engine drives an oil pump, which  
pumps oil through the rear and front axle drives.  
The front axle and rear axle are connected in se-  
ries, which means that the front wheels and rear  
wheels are forced to rotate at the same speed.  
To make turning easier, both axles are equipped  
with differential.  
Front-mounted implements are powered via drive  
belts.  
This is what the symbols mean:  
Warning!  
Read the instruction manual and the safety  
manual before using the machine.  
Warning!  
Watch out for discarded objects. Keep on-  
lookers away.  
Warning!  
Always wear hearing protectors.  
Warning!  
This machine is not designed to be driven  
on public roads.  
2.2 Steering  
The machine is articulated. This means that the  
chassis is divided into a front and a rear section,  
which can be turned in relation to each other.  
The articulated steering means that the machine  
can turn around trees and other obstacles with an  
extremely small turning radius.  
Warning!  
The machine, equipped with original ac-  
cessories, must not be driven in any direc-  
tion on slopes with a gradient greater than  
10º.  
Warning!  
Risk of crushing injuries. Keep hands and  
feet well away from the articulated steer-  
ing joint.  
2.3 Safety system  
The 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.  
Warning!  
Risk of burn injuries. Do not touch the si-  
lencer/catalytic converter.  
The operation of the safety system must  
always be checked every time before  
use.  
1.2 References

2.4.2 Implement lifter, hydraulic (4:M)  
(4WD)  
The hydraulic implement lifter only works when  
the engine is running and the clutch pedal and  
parking brake pedal are not depressed. The imple-  
ment lifter is controlled using the lever (4:M).  
Locking:  
1. Depress the pedal (3:B) fully.  
2. Move the inhibitor (3:A) to the right.  
3. Release the pedal (3:B).  
4. Release the inhibitor (3:A).  
Unlocking:  
Press and release the pedal (3:B).  
The lever has the following four positions:  
2.4.5 Driving-service brake (3:F)  
Floating position. Move the lever to its  
front position, where it locks. The imple-  
ment is now lowered to its floating posi-  
tion.  
If the machine does not brake as expect-  
ed when the pedal is released, the left  
pedal (3:B) should be used as an emer-  
gency brake.  
In the floating position, the implement  
always rests against the ground at the  
same pressure and can follow the con-  
tours of the ground.  
The pedal (3:F) determines the gearing ratio be-  
tween the engine and the drive wheels (= the  
speed). When the pedal is released, the service  
brake is activated.  
Use the floating position when carrying out work.  
Lowering. The implement lowers re-  
gardless of its weight.  
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.  
Locking in the transport position. The  
lever has returned to the neutral position  
after raising and lowering. The imple-  
ment is locked in the transport position.  
Raising. Move the lever to the rear posi-  
tion until the implement is in the highest  
position (transport position). Then re-  
lease the lever to lock in the transport po-  
sition.  
There is an adjustment plate on the upper section  
of the pedal. The adjustment plate can be adjusted  
to three (3) positions to suit the driver’s foot.  
2.4.6 Steering wheel (3:D)  
2.4.3 Clutch-parking brake (3:B)

justable. Undo the adjustment knob (3:E) on the  
steering column and raise or lower the steering  
wheel to the desired position. Tighten.  
Never press the pedal while driving.  
There is a risk of overheating in the  
power transmission.  
The pedal (3:B) has the follow-  
ing three positions:  
Do not adjust the steering wheel during  
operation.  
Never turn the steering wheel when the  
machine is stationary with a lowered  
implement. There is a risk of abnormal  
loads on the servo and steering mecha-  
nisms.  
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.

5 MAINTENANCE  
5.1 Service programme  
Change oil when the engine is warm.  
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 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.  
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.  
1. Push the drain hose down so that it comes out  
under the engine. See fig. 12  
2. Tighten the clamp on the oil drain hose. Use a  
polygrip or similar.  
3. Move the clamp 3-4 cm up the oil drain hose  
and pull out the plug.

4. Place one container under the rear axle and one  
under the front axle.  
5. Open the oil reservoir by removing the cover.  
5.7 Cleaning the fuel tank  
During temperature changes water from the air  
will condense in the fuel tank. The amount of wa-  
ter that condenses increases during large tempera-  
ture changes and at high humidity. The water drops  
and settles at the bottom of the fuel tank.  
Only a 3/8” square drive may be used  
for the oil plug. Other tools will damage  
the plug.  
Condensation should be drained from the fuel tank  
as necessary and at least once a year.  
6. Remove the oil plug from the rear axle. Clean  
the hole and use a 3/8” square drive. See figure  
18.  
7. Remove 2 drain plugs from the front axle. Use  
a 12 mm socket. Allow the oil in the front axle  
and pipes to run out. See fig. 19.  
8. Check that the gaskets on the drain plugs of the  
front axle are intact. See fig. 19. Reinstall the  
plugs. Tightening torque: 15-17 Nm.  
The engine must be cold when the con-  
densation id drained, otherwise there is  
a risk of fire.  
Smoking, fires, sparks and other heat  
sources are prohibited in the proximity  
when the condensation is drained.  
There is a fire risk.  
Drain the condensation as follows:

1.Fill the oil reservoir with the new oil.  
If the engine is run indoors, exhaust ex-  
traction equipment must be connected  
to the engine’s exhaust pipe.  
5.11 Battery  
2. Check that the rear axle’s clutch release lever is  
pulled out.  
3. Start the engine. When the engine is started, the  
front axle’s clutch release lever slides inwards  
automatically.  
If acid comes into contact with the eyes  
or skin, this can cause serious injuries.  
If any part of the body has come into  
contact with acid, rinse immediately  
with copious amounts of water and seek  
medical assistance as soon as possible.  
4. Pull out the front axle’s clutch release lever.  
NOTE! The oil is drawn into the system very  
quickly. The reservoir must always be  
topped up. Air must never be drawn in.  
The battery is a valve-regulated battery with 12 V  
nominal voltage. The battery fluid does not need to  
and cannot be checked or topped up. The only  
maintenance that is required is charging, for exam-  
ple after extended storage.  
5. Set the accelerator pedal to the forward position  
by blocking it using a wooden wedge. See fig.  
14. Fill the oil reservoir by hand using new oil.  
The battery must be fully charged be-  
fore being used for the first time. The  
battery must always be stored fully  
charged. If the battery is stored while  
discharged, serious damage will occur.  
6. Run in the forward position for one minute.  
7. Move the wooden wedge and set the accelerator  
pedal to the reverse position. Continue filling  
with oil.  
8. Run in reverse mode for one minute.  
9. Change driving direction once every minute as  
above and continue filling with oil until the  
bubbling in the reservoir stops.  
10.Switch off the engine, install the oil reservoir  
cover and close the engine cover.  
11.Test drive for several minutes and adjust the oil  
level in the reservoir.  
5.11.1 Charging with the engine

5.11.2 Charging using battery charger  
When charging using a battery charger, a battery  
charger with constant voltage must be used.  
Contact your dealer to purchase a battery charger  
with constant voltage.  
The battery can be damaged if a standard type  
battery charger is used.  
Never direct the flow of compressed air  
towards the body. The penetration of  
air into the blood stream can be fatal.  
5. Clean off any dry dirt on the filter by blowing  
compressed air in and out of the filter. The pres-  
sure must not exceed 5 bar.  
Check for cracks or other damage after clean-  
ing. This can be visually checked against a light  
source.  
5.11.3 Removal/Installation  
Check that the filter’s mating surfaces are free  
of faults.  
If the filter is damaged, it must be replaced.  
The battery is placed under the engine casing. Dur-  
ing removal/installation, the following applies re-  
garding connection of the cables:  
During removal. First disconnect the black ca-  
ble from the battery’s negative terminal (-).  
Then disconnect the red cable from the battery’s  
positive terminal (-).  
During installation. First connect the red cable  
to the battery’s positive terminal (+). Then con-  
nect the black cable to the battery’s negative ter-  
minal (-).  
If the filter is contaminated by moisture/oily  
dirt, it must be replaced.  
6. Assemble in reverse order.  
Do not use compressed air or petroleum based sol-  
vents such as kerosene to clean the paper filter in-  
sert. This will damage the filter.  
5.13 Air intake  
See 10:W. The engine is air-cooled. A blocked  
cooling system can damage the engine. Clean the  
engine’s air intake after 50 hours of operation.  
More meticulous cleaning of the cooling system is  
carried out during each basic service.  
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.  
5.14 Lubrication  
All lubrication points in accordance with the table  
below must be lubricated every 50 hours of opera-  
tion as well as after every wash.  
Tighten the cables securely. Loose ca-  
bles can cause a fire.
