Service And Maintenance - Stiga PARK 107M Gebrauchsanweisung

GB
Note! Park Pro 16, Pro 18 and Pro 20 - year model
2000 and 2001 - have 17" wheels. All other models
have 16" wheels.
Depending on the length of the grass, the mower
deck can be adjusted in different ways:
4a. Mowing normal length grass:
Adjust the mower deck so that the casing's front
and rear edges are the same height from the floor.
Use position A resp. B. This position gives the best
"Multiclip effect", i.e. the grass is shredded best in
this position.
4b. Mowing long grass:
Adjust the mower deck so that the casing's rear
edge is higher than the front edge. Use position
A+5 resp. B+5. This position ensures that the
mowing deck can discharge the grass easier out of
the rear.
5. After setting the mower deck, tighten the
screws.
USE
MOWING HEIGHT
The mower deck has a number of fixed mowing
heights, from 30 to 75 mm.
Note! The stated mowing heights apply when the
machine is standing on firm ground.
MOWING HINTS
For the best "Multiclip" effect, follow this advice:
- Mow regularly.
- Use full throttle on the engine.
- Keep the underside of the mower deck clean.
- Use sharp blades.
- Do not mow wet grass.
- Mow twice (using different heights) if the grass
is long.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

PREPARATIONS
Unless otherwise stated, all service and mainte-
nance must be performed on a machine that is
standing still where the engine has been switched
off.
18
ENGLISH
Prevent the machine from rolling, by al-
ways applying the parking brake.
Prevent involuntary engine start by al-
ways stopping the engine, loosening the
spark plug cable from the sparking
plug and earthing it. Remove the minus
(-) cable from the battery.
MAINTENANCE TIPS
To facilitate cleaning and maintenance, the mower
deck can be folded up:
1. Unhook the tension roller spring (fig. 10).
2. Pry off the V-belt from the central belt pulley.
3. Set the mowing height adjustment to the highest
mowing height.
4. Lift the rear edge of the mowing deck with one
hand (fig. 13).
5. Push up the inhibitor and lower the rear edge of
the mowing deck (fig. 13).
6. Repeat the procedure on the other side.
7. Fold up the mower deck until it stands upright
(fig. 14).
When the mowing deck is folded down to the
working position, make sure that the inhibitor falls
down into a position where the rear edge of the
mowing deck is lifted up (fig. 8).
CLEANING
After each use, the underside of the mower deck
should be hosed down.
If grass cuttings have dried on the mower deck,
scrape the underside clean.
If necessary, touch-up the underside using a suita-
ble paint to prevent corrosion.
BLADES
Use protective gloves to prevent cuts
when changing blades.
Make sure the blades are always sharp. This gives
the best mowing results.
Always check the blades after an impact. If the
blade system has been damaged, the defective
parts must be replaced.
