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.

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.

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).
