Air Intake - Stiga VILLA 320 Gebrauchsanweisung

8.5.1 Checks
Briefly turn the steering wheel back and forth.
There must be no mechanical clearance in the
steering.
8.5.2 Adjustment
Adjust the steering chains if required as follows:
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. 15:F.
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.
Do not over-tighten the steering chains. This will
cause the steering to become heavy and will in-
crease wear on the steering chains.
8.6 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.
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.
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.
8.6.1 Charging with the engine
The battery can be charged using the engine's gen-
erator as follows:
1. Place the machine outdoors or install an extrac-
tion device for the exhaust fumes.
2. Start the engine according to the instructions.
3. Allow the engine to run continuously for 45
minutes.
4. Stop the engine. The battery will now be fully
charged.
8.6.2 Charging using battery charger
When charging using a battery charger, an original
Stiga battery charger with constant voltage must be
used.
The battery can be damaged if a stand-
ard type battery charger is used.
Connect the battery charger to the contact (4:J)

8.9 CUTTING DECK
8.9.1 Safety
To reduce the risk of accidental injury in the event
of a collision and to protect important parts in the
cutting deck, a torque limiter is integrated as fol-
lows.
• Shear bolts between blades and blade bar.
• Torque limiting between gear wheels and blade
shaft.
• Possibility of positive drive belt slipping on the
plastic gear wheels.
8.9.2 Replacing blades
Wear protective gloves when changing
blade(s) to avoid cutting yourself.
Check that the blades are always sharp. This pro-
duces the best cutting results. The blades should be
replaced once a year.
Always check the blade(s) after a collision. If the
blade system has been damaged, defective parts
should be replaced.
Always use genuine spare parts. Non-
genuine spare parts can entail a risk of
injury, even if they fit the machine.
