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).

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.

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.
