Service And Maintenance; Engine Oil - Stiga PARK COMPACT Gebrauchsanweisung

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.
Do not turn the steering wheel to full
lock when driving in top gear and at full
throttle. The machine can easily topple
over.
Keep hands and fingers well away from
articulated steering joint and seat
bracket. Risk of crushing injuries. Nev-
er operate the machine without the en-
gine casing.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE

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 serv-
ice program should be followed.
The contents of this program can be found in the
attached service log.
We recommend that all service work is carried out
by an authorised workshop. 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 valua-
ble document that improves the machine's second-
hand value.
PREPARATIONS
Unless otherwise stated, all service and mainte-
nance must be carried out on a stationary machine
when the engine is not running.
Prevent the machine from rolling by al-
ways applying the parking brake.
Prevent unintentional starting of the
motor by disengaging the drive, shut-
ting off the engine and disconnecting
the spark plug cable or removing the
starter key.
ENGLISH
CLEANING
To reduce the risk of fire, keep the en-
gine, silencer, 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 trans-
mission.
Do not point jets of water directly at the engine.
Use a brush or compressed air in order to clean it.

ENGINE OIL

Change engine oil the first time after 5 hours of op-
eration, and subsequently after every 50 hours of
operation or once a season. Change oil when the
engine is warm.
Always use a good grade of oil (service grade SF,
SG or SH).
Change the oil more often (after 25 hours of oper-
ation or at least once a season) if the engine has to
operate under demanding conditions or if the am-
bient temperature is high.
The engine oil may be very hot if it is
drained off directly after the engine is
shut off. So allow the engine to cool a
few minutes before draining the oil.
1. Oil drain pipe (metal fig. 7):
Unscrew the oil drain plug at the end of the pipe.
Collect the oil in a collection vessel. Then take
the oil to a recycling station. Do not allow oil to
get on the V-belts.
2. Screw in the oil drain plug. Make sure that the
fibre gasket and the O-ring inside the plug are not
damaged and that they are in the correct place.
3. Remove the dipstick and fill up with new oil.
Oil capacity: 1.4 litres
Oil type, summer (> 4ºC): 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).
Oil type, winter (< 4ºC): SAE 5W-30
(if this oil is not available, use SAE 10W-30).
Use oil without any additives.
