knobs are loosened and the handlebar folded in.

SYMBOLS

The following symbols are displayed on the

machine in order to remind you about the safety

precautions and attention necessary when using

the machine.

The symbols mean:

Warning! Read the Instruction Book and

Safety Manual before using the machine.

CABLE HOLDER

Warning! Keep spectators away. Beware

of objects being flung out.

EYELET FOR STARTER HANDLE

Attach the starter handle to the eyelet on the

steering handle (fig. 5).

Warning! Do not put hands or feet under

the cover of the machine when it is

running.

USING THE MOWER

BEFORE STARTING

Warning! Before starting any repair work,

remove the spark plug cable from the

spark plugs.

FILL THE CRANKCASE WITH OIL

The lawn mower is delivered without any

oil in the engine crankcase. The

Warning! Always tilt the

crankcase must, therefore, be filled with

oil before the engine is started the first

time.

lawnmower backwards when

cleaning the underside. Petrol and

oil can run out if the lawnmower is

tilted in the other direction.

Remove the oil dipstick (fig. 6).

Fill the engine's crankcase with 0.6 litres of good

quality oil (service class SE, SF or SG) Use SAE

30 or SAE 10W-30 oil.

Fill until the oil reaches the “FULL/MAX” mark

on the dip stick. Do not fill with too much oil.

ASSEMBLING

EJECTION SHIELD

CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

Under no condition must the machine be

started without the ejection shield being

fitted on the machine. If it is not fitted,

stones and other flying objects may easily

be ejected by the rotating blade.

Check before using the machine that the oil level is

between “FULL/MAX” and “ADD/MIN” on the

dipstick. Stand the lawn mower on a level surface.

Remove and dry the dipstick (fig. 6). Slide it down

completely and tighten it. Unscrew and pull it up

again. Read-off. If the oil level is low, fill with oil

up to the “FULL/MAX” mark.

The parts for assembly of the ejector shield are

attached to the packaging. Remove the parts and

assemble the ejector shield according to fig. l.

Tighten the screws securely.

FILL UP THE PETROL TANK

Fill with petrol before starting the motor.

Never remove the filler cap or fill with

petrol while the motor is running or still

warm.

HANDLEBAR

Hinge up the lower part of the handlebar.

The components for assembling the upper section

of the steering are fitted for packing purposes.

Remove the components from the lower section of

the steering.

Never completely fill the fuel tank. Allow a little

room for the petrol to expand if necessary.

Some engines have an extra safety cover under the

regular fuel cap. This must not be reinstalled.

Then attach the upper part of the handlebar with

screws, washers and locking knobs (fig. 2).

ENGLISH

Preferably use environmentally friendly petrol, i.e.

alkylate petrol. This type of petrol has a

CUTTING HEIGHT

Shut off the engine before adjusting the

cutting height.

composition that is less harmful to people and

nature. It has e.g. no lead additives, no oxygenators

(alcohols and ethers), no alkenes and no benzene.

NOTE! If you change to environmentally friendly

petrol in a motor previously run on ordinary lead-

free petrol (95), the petrol manufacturer’s

recommendations must be followed carefully.

Ordinary lead-free 95 octane petrol can also be

used. You must never use 2-stroke petrol mixed

with oil. NOTE! Bear in mind that lead-free petrol

is a perishable; do not purchase more petrol than

can be used within thirty days.

Do not set the cutting height so low that

the blade can hit uneven ground.

Avoid mowing when the grass is wet. The

grass then sticks to the underside of the casing,

giving poor mowing results.

The cutting height can be adjusted to three

positions by moving the wheel axles (fig. 10).

If the start/stop loop no longer works,

stop the engine by removing the lead

from the spark plug. Immediately take

the lawn mower to an authorised

workshop for repairs.

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Place the lawn mower on flat, firm ground. Do

not start in high grass.

2. Make sure the spark plug lead is connected to

the spark plug.

3. When starting a cold engine: Press down the

primer fully 6 times (fig. 9).

MAINTENANCE

No service is to be made on the engine or

lawn mower without first switching off

the engine and removing the spark plug

cable from the spark plug.

Stop the engine and remove the spark

plug cable if the mower is to be lifted, e.g.

with transportation.

If the machine is to be tilted the fuel tank

must be emptied and the sparking plug of

the engine kept upwards.

When starting a warm engine the primer does

not need to be used. If the engine stops due to a

lack of petrol, refill and press down the primer

three times.

4. Press in the Start/Stop-loop G against the

steering. Note that the Start/Stop loop G must

be kept pressed-in to prevent the engine from

stopping (fig. 7,8).

5. Grasp the starter handle and start the engine by

pulling briskly on the starter handle.

Keep hands and feet well away from the

rotating blade. Never put your hand or

foot under the blade casing or in the

grass evacuation unit while the engine is

running.

CLEANING

After each time it is used the mower should be

cleaned. This is particularly important on the

underside of the mower casing. Wash out with the

garden hose. The mower will then last longer and

function better.

High pressure washing units should not be used. If

grass has dried on to the mower casing it can be

removed by scraping. If necessary, give the

underside a touch of paint to prevent rusting.

Clean the silencer and the surrounding

area regularly to remove grass, dirt and

flammable waste products.

STOP OF ENGINE

The engine may be very warm

immediately after it is shut off. Do not

touch the silencer, cylinder or cooling

flanges as it can cause burns and injury.

1. Release Start/Stop-loop G (fig. 7,8) to stop the

engine. This loop must not be disengaged (e.g.

through fixing it in the depressed position

against the steering), as the engine cannot be

stopped.

COOLING SYSTEM

Before use, the engine's cooling system should be

cleaned. Clean the cylinder's cooling fins and the

air intake, removing any grass cuttings, dirt and the

like.

2. If the lawn mower is left unattended to, remove

the lead from the spark plug.

ENGLISH

Always check the blade after an impact. First

CHANGING OIL

disconnect the ignition cable. If the blade system

has been damaged the defective parts must be

changed. Always use genuine spare parts.

To replace the blade, slacken the blade bolt. Fit the

new blade so that the stamped STIGA logotype is

turned facing the blade attachment (and not facing

the grass). Refit the washer and blade bolt. Tighten

the blade bolt fully to a torque of 40 Nm (fig. 13).

When replacing the blade, the blade bolt should

also be replaced.

The guarantee does not cover damage to the blade,

blade holder or engine caused by running into

obstacles.

When replacing the blade, the blade holder and

blade bolt, always use original spare parts. Non-

authentic spare parts could lead to the risk of

personal injury or damage, even if they fit the

machine.

Change the oil when the engine is warm

and the petrol tank is empty. Hot oil will

run out of the engine better. Use caution

when draining the hot oil, as it could

cause burn injuries.

Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of

operation, and subsequently after every 50 hours

of operation or once a season. Remove the dip

stick, tilt the mower and let the oil run out into a

container. Be careful not to let any oil run on to the

grass.

Fill with new oil: use oil of SAE 30 or SAE 10W-

30 quality. The crankcase holds approx. 0.6 litre.

Fill until the oil reaches the "FULL/MAX" mark

on the dip stick.

AIR FILTER

A dirty and blocked air filter reduces the engine

output and increases engine wear.

Carefully remove the air cleaner so that no dirt

falls down into the carburettor (fig. 11). Take out

the foam plastic filter element and wash it in liquid

detergent and water. Dry the filter element. Pour a

little oil on the filter element and squeeze it in.

Refit the air cleaner.

Wash the filter every three months or every 25

hours running, whichever comes first, or more

frequently if used in dusty conditions.

SHARPENING OF THE BLADE

Sharpening of the blade must be done by wet

method grinding, using a whetstone or a

grindstone.

For the sake of safety, the blade should not be

sharpened on an emery wheel. A very high

temperature could cause the blade to become

brittle.

Once the blade has been sharpened, it

must then be balanced so as to avoid

vibration damage.

SPARKING PLUG

Never remove the spark plug or the

ignition lead when checking to see if there

is any spark, always use an approved test

instrument.

STORAGE

Clean the sparking plug regularly (every 100 hours

running). Use a wire brush for cleaning and adjust

the correct spark gap (fig. 12).

Change the sparking plug if the electrodes are

excessively burnt or if the plug is damaged. The

recommendations of the engine manufacturers are

as follows:

Champion J19LM (RJ19LM) or another

equivalent spark plug ought to be used in Briggs &

Stratton engines. Spark gap 0.7-0.8 mm.

WINTER STORAGE

Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it run

until it stops. The same petrol must not remain in

the tank for more than one month.

Tip up the mower and screw out the sparking plug.

Pour a teaspoon of engine oil in the sparking plug

hole. Pull out the starting handle slowly so that the

oil is distributed in the cylinder. Screw in the

sparking plug.

Thoroughly clean the mower and store it indoors in

a dry place.

CHANGING BLADES

Use protective gloves to prevent cuts

when changing the blade.

SERVICING

Genuine spare parts are supplied by service

workshops and by many dealers.

www.stiga.com

Blunt and damaged blades tear off the grass and

spoil the look of the lawn after mowing. New, well

sharpened blades cut the grass cleanly, so that the

lawn looks green and fresh even after mowing.
