2 DESCRIPTION  
Watch out for discarded objects. Keep on-  
lookers away.  
2.1 Transmission  
2.1.1 Man  
Warning!  
Always wear hearing protectors.  
The machine is rear wheel drive.  
The rear axle is equipped with a manual transmis-  
sion with 5 forward gears and one reverse gear.  
The rear axle is also equipped with a differential to  
facilitate turning.  
Warning!  
This machine is not designed to be driven  
on public roads.  
Warning!  
The machine, equipped with original ac-  
cessories, must not be driven in any direc-  
tion on slopes with a gradient greater than  
10º.  
Front mounted tools are driven by drive belts.  
2.1.2 HST  
The machine is rear wheel drive.  
Warning!  
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.  
Risk of crushing injuries. Keep hands and  
feet well away from the articulated steer-  
ing joint.  
Warning!  
Risk of burn injuries. Do not touch the si-  
lencer/catalytic converter.  
Front mounted tools are driven by drive belts.  
2.1.3 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.  
1.2 Designations

ENGLISH  
The articulated steering means that the machine  
can turn around trees and other obstacles with an  
extremely small turning radius.  
2.4.4 Inhibitor, parking brake (1:C)  
The inhibitor locks the “clutch-brake”  
pedal in the depressed position. This func-  
tion is used to lock the machine on slopes,  
during transport, etc., when the engine is  
not running.  
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.  
Locking:  
1. Depress the pedal (3:B) fully.  
2. Move the inhibitor (3:C) to the right.  
3. Release the pedal (3:B).  
4. Release the inhibitor (3:C).  
Unlocking:  
The operation of the safety system must  
always be checked every time before  
use.  
Press and release the pedal (3:B).  
2.4 Controls  
2.4.1 Implement lifter, mechanical (1:A)  
To switch between working position and transport  
position:  
1. Depress the pedal fully.  
2. Release the pedal slowly.  
2.4.5 Driving-service brake (1:F)  
(HST, 4WD)  
If the machine does not brake as expect-  
ed when the pedal is released, the left  
pedal (1:B) should be used as an emer-  
gency brake.  
The pedal determines the gearing ratio between the  
engine and the drive wheels (= the speed). When  
the pedal is released, the service brake is activated.  
2.4.2 Service brake - Clutch (1:B) (Man)  
A pedal that combines both service brake and  
clutch. There are 3 positions:  
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.  
1. Pedal released – forward drive  
engaged. The machine will  
move if a gear is engaged.  
Service brake not activated.  
2. Pedal depressed halfway –  
forward drive disengaged, gear  
shifting can be performed.  
Service brake not activated.  
3. Pedal fully depressed –  
forward drive disengaged.  
Service brake fully activated.  
2.4.6 Throttle and choke control (1:D)  
(Prestige)  
A control for setting the engine speed and to choke  
the engine when starting from cold.  
NOTE! You must never regulate the operating  
speed by slipping the clutch. Use a suitable gear  
instead, so that the right speed is obtained.  
If the engine runs unevenly there is a  
risk that the control is too far forward  
so that the choke is activated. This dam-  
ages the engine, increases fuel con-  
sumption and is harmful to the  
environment.  
1. Choke – for starting a cold engine. The  
choke position is located at the front of the  
groove.  
2.4.3 Clutch-parking brake (1:B)  
(HST, 4WD)

There is a risk of overheating in the  
power transmission.  
The pedal has the following  
three positions:  
Do not operate in this position when the  
engine is warm.  
2. Full throttle – when the machine is in  
operation, full throttle should always be  
used.  
The full throttle position is approximately  
2 cm behind the choke position.  
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.

5.1 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.  
Use oil without any additives.  
Do not fill with too much oil. This can cause the  
engine to overheat.  
The contents of this programme can be found in  
the attached service log.  
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.  
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. Attach the clamp on the oil drainage hose. Use  
a polygrip or similar. See fig. 10:V.  
2. Move the clamp up 3-4 cm on the oil drainage  
hose and pull out the plug.  
3. Collect the oil in a collection vessel.  
NOTE! Do not spill any oil on the drive belts.  
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.  
4. Hand in the oil for disposal in accordance with  
local provisions.  
5. Install the oil drainage plug and move the clamp  
back so that it clamps above the plug.  
6. Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil.  
Oil volume: 1.4 litres  
7. After filling up the oil, start the engine and idle  
for 30 seconds.  
5.2 Preparation  
All service and all maintenance must be carried out  
on a stationary machine with the engine switched  
off.  
8. Check to see if there is any oil leakage.  
9. Stop the engine. Wait for 30 seconds and then  
check the oil level in accordance with 4.2.  
Prevent the machine from rolling by al-  
ways applying the parking brake.  
Stop the engine.

1. Put the machine in the straight-ahead position.  
2. Adjust the steering chains with the two nuts, lo-  
cated under the central point. See fig. 16.  
3. Adjust both nuts by the same amount until there  
is no clearance.  
4. Test drive the machine straight forwards and  
check that the steering wheel is not off centre.  
5. If the steering wheel is off centre, undo one nut  
and tighten the other.  
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 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.  
Do not over-tighten the steering chains. This will  
cause the steering to become heavy and will in-  
crease wear on the steering chains.  
5.8 Battery  
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.  
Tighten the cables securely. Loose ca-  
bles can cause a fire.  
The engine must never be driven with  
the battery disconnected. There is a risk  
of serious damage to the generator and  
the electrical system.  
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.  
5.8.4 Cleaning  
If the battery terminals are coated with oxide, they  
should be cleaned. Clean the battery terminals with  
a wire brush and lubricate them with terminal  
grease.  
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.  
5.9 Air filter, engine  
The pre-filter (foam filter) must be cleaned/re-  
placed after 25 hours of operation.  
The air filter (paper filter) must be cleaned/re-  
placed after 100 hours of operation.  
NOTE! The filters should be cleaned/replaced  
more often if the machine operates on dusty  
ground.  
5.8.1 Charging with the engine  
The battery can be charged using the engine’s gen-  
erator as follows:  
1. Install the battery in the machine as shown be-  
low.  
2. Place the machine outdoors or install an extrac-  
tion device for the exhaust fumes.  
3. Start the engine according to the instructions in  
the user guide.  
4. Allow the engine to run continuously for 45  
minutes.  
5. Stop the engine. The battery will now be fully  
charged.  
Remove/install the air filters as follows.  
1. Clean carefully around the air filter cover.  
2. Dismantle the air filter cover (15:A) by remov-  
ing the two clamps.  
3. Dismantle the filter assembly (15:B). The pre-  
filter is placed over the air filter. Make sure that  
no dirt gets into the carburettor. Clean the air fil-  
ter housing.

against a flat surface. If the filter is very dirty,  
replace it.  
5. Clean the pre-filter. If the filter is very dirty, re-  
place it.  
6. Assemble in the reverse order.  
Compressed air or petroleum-based solvents such  
as kerosene may not be used for cleaning the paper  
filter insert. This will damage the filter.
